Car Audio
To say that car audio has become a cult obsession is to vastly undermine its impact on the modern driver-especially the new generation. "Decking out" your car has become a huge part of popular culture-car audio has been promoted in such shows as "pimp my ride" and other auto customization shows.
The function of the car then doubles: it is both a mode of transportation and a heavy duty car audio setup. Almost every car today is sold with a CD or DVD deck and a basic set of speakers wired up to the entire car. Car audio, in this sense, is present in almost all modern vehicles. The culture of car audio, however, prides itself on taking things to the extreme. Larger speakers, subwoofers, video displays, amplifiers, and ipod hook-ups are all elements of this new wave of car audio where bigger definitely means better.
Wiring together your car audio system has become a hobby for many car owners-one that may even supersede the amount of mechanical work they do on the actual vehicle. Having a tweeter, a mid-range, and a woofer is common fare for audiophiles who want sound definition to be crisp and relentlessly loud. The new generation understands sound quality and demands more of their car audio. Whether you want to listen to Nick Drake's subdued folk or a hip-hop track with enormous bass, car audio cannot be ignored. It has changed the way we drive, the way we listen to music, and the way a city's streets sound.
