Minnesota winters can take quite a toll on your vehicle. Sand, gravel, salt, ice, snow and mud all conspire to shorten the life expectancy of underbody and exterior car components.

Are Heated Seats a ‘Luxury’ or a ‘Need’?

You get into your car on an average ‘below zero’ Minnesota morning.  How long does it take until you feel the icy cold seats reaching through your clothes to remind you that you live in Minnesota?  Probably about 30 seconds or so…

Can You Name All The Benefits Of Installing Remote Start In Your Vehicle?

By far the greatest benefit of a remote starter is the comfort of having a car that is warm or cool before you get in. By leaving the heater or AC in the "On" position, you can activate the remote starter then wait several minutes, during which time the heat or air conditioning runs. Because the car is operating without the keys in the ignition or the driver present, most remote starters also include controls for locking the doors to secure the car remotely.

Why Do Subs And Speakers Blow?

Most car audio enthusiasts have encountered a blown subwoofer or speaker at some point over the years. Most often you will find blown or damaged factory speakers. You may also find a blown subwoofer in the trunk of your friend with a new car audio amplifier. Blown speakers and subwoofers are rarely associated with a fun event. A blown subwoofer or car speaker results in a replacement or upgrade.

Setting Time Delay On Your Car Stereo. Why?

The problem is that when you sit in your driver’s seat the sound from your front left speaker hits your ears before the sound from the right speaker does. The difference is very small but surprisingly humans are very good at hearing these differences and we use that difference to determine where the sound is coming from. What we do to trick the ears into thinking you are in the middle of the car is simply delaying the speaker output of your speakers so all the sound arrives at your ears at the same time. The effect is very nice as you feel like you are directly in the middle of the car. You’ll notice the vocals in the music now sound like they are on your hood singing to you.

Pi is a funny thing…

There a few other techniques we can use to increase SPL like rebuilding a better box or stuffing it with poly or glassing the inside etc… The best way to get more SPL is to get more woofer area. Then do sound damping and finally get a big nasty amp. If you’re like me you’ll never stop making your system better. Just wait until you want to get the best sound quality possible. It’s fun but requires a lot of time and good gear.
