			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The best thing about building your own subwoofer enclosure is that you have more choices to be creative and experiment. The tools to build a subwoofer box are way cheaper than buying the actual thing. The box can be of different size and shape keeping in mind how much space you have in the car. The size of your subwoofer is of course important to give some wiggle room inside the box. In market subwoofer enclosures are available in ported, sealed and bandpass which can also be custom made by you at home. Six simple steps for building up your own subwoofer enclosure are discussed further.</p>
<div id="attachment_221" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 460px"><img class="size-full wp-image-221" title="Subwoofer Enclosure" src="http://car-audio-video.info/wp-content/uploads/subwoofer-enclosure.jpg" alt="Subwoofer Enclosure" width="450" height="300" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Subwoofer Enclosure</p></div>
<p>Building up subwoofer enclosures for your own car is now no problem. Just follow some simple steps and you are done. The thing that makes this whole procedure fun is that you can experiment with different sizes and shapes of enclosures while keeping the size of your subwoofer in mind. It can be as big as you want but that might take up the entire space in your trunk. First deciding by what kind of subwoofer enclosure you prefer it can either be ported or sealed. Sealed enclosures are simply air tight to stop any air to get in or get out while ported enclosures are a bit hard to make but their result is better than sealed boxes.</p>
<p><span id="more-220"></span>The few basic tools needed for building your own enclosure are electric drill with screws, medium density fiberboard, carpenterвЂ™s glue, jigsaw, Silicon caulk, sandpaper, metal screws, drywall screws and terminal cup for the speakers. By keeping in mind the size of your subwoofers and the space available in the back of the trunk decide a size and shape of the enclosure to go perfectly inside your trunk. With a help of a pencil and measuring tape draw the pattern on the fiberboard. The length, width and depth of the enclosure will vary from person to person according to the subwoofer itself. Just to get you started and give a wild idea the measurement of a rectangular box Height: 13&#8243;, Width: 14&#8243; and Depth: 12&#8243; while for a wedged box Height: 14&#8243;, Width: 18&#8243; and Depth either 5вЂќ or 8вЂќ.</p>
<div id="attachment_222" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 460px"><img class="size-full wp-image-222" title="Build a Subwoofer Box" src="http://car-audio-video.info/wp-content/uploads/build-a-subwoofer-box.jpg" alt="Build a Subwoofer Box" width="450" height="338" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Build a Subwoofer Box</p></div>
<p>You will need to place the divider in the middle of the box to separate both of the subwoofers. Using a jigsaw cut the board and the inner circle to rest the speaker. Use a filer to smooth the cut edges of the board and a sandpaper to smooth the inner circle. The side panels will have almost 2вЂќ circle holes for the wires to pass through them. Use screws to fix the fiberboard in the shape of a box while using silicon to air tight it in the case of sealed enclosure. Glue the carpet to the top panel where the speakers will be popping out. Screw the connectors and air tight them with silicon as well. Then connect the positive and negative terminal to the speaker wires respectively. Once the sub is in the box and placed properly tighten it up with metal screws and place it in the trunk.</p>
<p>Building your own subwoofer enclosure is complete with some rough steps mentioned above. Although you can get way much more help if you consult a professional with tips that are useful while internet is your friend too. I believe that building up your own subwoofer enclosure will encourage you to experiment with other stuff also and bring that creative side out of you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Choosing a car video system that is going to work in your car is hard enough. However, choosing one that fits your lifestyle and your needs is another thing all together. Each different video system, of course, has different things that it can do, and thus, has different reasons why people look forward to getting them put in their car. What you have to do is sit down and take a look at the reasons why you need a video system in your car, and then look at what kind of things that video system is going to have to do to work for you. Otherwise, you are going to end up with things you do not need.<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-92" title="Kenwood DDX6019 DVD" src="http://car-audio-video.info/wp-content/uploads/kenwood-ddx-6019-dvd.jpg" alt="Kenwood DDX6019 DVD" width="420" height="260" /></p>
<p>Picking a video system for your car does not sound like something that would be that hard. However, it is a lot harder than you may think it would be. Making sure you get the right video system is something that a lot of people do not think about. You have to make sure that it&#8217;s going to fit in your car, and you have to think of where you are going to have it located. For example, you are not suppose to have TV screens in the front of your car. You should have nothing that is going to take the drivers eyes off the road.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-64" title="Clarion VRX485VD 1-DIN AV Center" src="http://car-audio-video.info/wp-content/uploads/clarion-vrx485vd.jpg" alt="Clarion VRX485VD 1-DIN AV Center" width="420" height="370" /></p>
<p>So that means that you are more than likely going to need the video system in the back of your car. How many kids do you have, or how many screens are you going to want back there? If you do not have any kids, then you still may want to get two screens. That is because the only time you will be using the screens is to show off at a party and have people playing video games in the back of your car.</p>
<p><span id="more-117"></span></p>
<p>The next thing you have to look at is, do you want the screens to just play movies or are you looking at it to play games as well? Some of them will have different hook ups that you can use to get that kind of stuff working in your car. If you do not want to play video games, then that is something that you are not going to have to worry about doing. However, if you are wanting it to do more than just video games, then you will have to ask and make sure that it can do that kind of think. Just remember that it costs more money to have screens that can do more things. So if you do not need the screen to have a certain feature, do not buy it. This will save you a lot of money in the long run, and that is the kind of thing that we are all trying to do.</p>

<p>Now, when looking for places to buy this kind of thing, you may want to start your search on-line. By starting your search on-line, you will see that you can find the best deals at amazing prices. These prices are deals that you are not going to find in local stores. That has a lot to do with the fact that these stores have goals that they have to reach to make sure that they are able to pay all the bills. The on-line stores have bills too, but their bills are a lot less than what you are going to find at local stores.</p>
