Due to the desire for a better driving experience this final paper focuses on the process of upgrading the basic car audio system whose main deficiency was unsatisfactory acoustic performance with a more powerful system. A theoretical description of the individual in-vehicle components required for the successful operation of the car audio system is followed by an overview of the current audio system and a discussion of its shortcomings.
This is followed by a comparison between the appropriate audio systems available on the market for the selected vehicle and the selection of the best among them. After describing the process of installing the system and software coding of the system on to the vehicle, a comparison of the acoustic performance is performed between the original and upgraded audio system where we can see a significant improvement especially in the area of lower frequencies. In the end, we try to change the systems equalizer settings so that the measurement would be closer to the ideal frequency response curve, which we partially succeed in doing.
