Obtaining the highest quality sound
reproduction in the mobile environment
requires installation techniques and
knowledge of vehicle interiors that go
far beyond simple replacement of stock
speakers. Speaker location, orientation,
phasing, and the vehicles interior materials are important considerations when
designing and installing an auto sound
system.
To achieve the best sound quality
possible from your Directed Audio loudspeakers, Directed recommends the
installation be performed by an MECP
certified technician.
SOUND QUALITY
High-powered car audio
systems may produce sound
pressure levels that exceed the
threshold at which hearing loss may
result.
They may also impair a driver’s ability to
hear traffic sounds or emergency vehicles. Use common sense and practice
safe listening habits when listening to or
adjusting your audio system.
