     Brain of the Stereo Sound System!

    The Head Unit is at the center of the car stereo system. Found in the dash, the Head Unit is often referred to as the radio, tuner, or stereo. It’s essentially the brain of the stereo, where music is actually played.

It allows the driver to choose music, adjust volume, and control the entire stereo system. The Head Unit sends audio signals to the amplifier to help create sound. Head units with built-in amplifiers are also called receivers. Typically, a head unit features a display screen, CD player, AM/FM radio tuner, and in some cases satellite radio.

These units display the name of the artist and title of the song playing, they're also aux and USB inputs and Bluetooth capabilities to connect devices. These are useful for hands-free phone use while driving.

Video head units or Infotainment Systems are becoming more popular in vehicles. These display a variety of information, including:

• GPS / Navigation
• Rear-View Video from a Backup Camera.
• Climate Control Details
• Speed
• Fuel Usage
• A Variety of Other Functions 

Video head units use LCD screens and may also play DVD and Blu-Ray discs. The type of Head Unit you choose depends on the features you want, not to mention the sound quality you’re looking for, and OutFront MotorSports can help you with that.

Back Up Camera

A backup camera is a special type of video camera that is produced specifically for the purpose of being attached to the rear of a vehicle to aid in backing up and to alleviate the rear blind spot. It is designed to avoid a backup collision.

5 Ways Backup Cameras Keep You Safe.

• They Provide a Sightline for Kids and Pets. 
•  They Nearly Eliminate the Blind Spots.
•  They Aid in Parallel Parking. 
•  Additional Benefits for Specific Vehicles - Off-Road Vehicles, Sports Cars, Utility Vehicles, & etc.

Dash Cameras

 Over the past 20 years, dashcams have become ever more widely available. Entry-level models are more affordable, there’s a much wider range of models available. Some systems offering 360-degree coverage around your vehicle and GPS-enabled telematics.

Advantages:

• With a dashcam fitted, you, your insurers and / or the police may be less reliant on gathering evidence from third party witnesses at the scene of a crash or other criminal incident.
• Dashcam footage can help insurers defend claims and assist with investigations into potential fraud rings and organized crime where a claim has been staged.
• Footage also helps to swiftly resolve issues over liability which can save time and money and reduce costs such as loss of earnings and alternative vehicle hire.
• Quicker claims settlement means claim-related reserves may impact your claims experience, and consequently your premiums, for a shorter time.
• Dashcams can help encourage those behind the wheel to always drive safely, legally and with due consideration being given to other road users, particularly those that are vulnerable such as cyclists and pedestrians.
• Recorded footage can be used by managers to support a conversation with a driver about improving driving style and behavior.
• It can reduce your insurance premium to install a dashcam.

    Amps also convert the electrical energy of audio signals into mechanical energy. This energy then causes the cone in a speaker to vibrate, moving back and forth, and displacing air. This in turn outputs the sound waves that we hear.

Car audio systems typically have at least four speakers, and these are usually full-range. While full-range speakers save on space, the sound quality is limited, so speaker upgrades are quite common. Upgraded speakers may include a sub-woofer, ideal for deeper and lower bass frequencies and response. They may also combine a woofer and a tweeter into a single coaxial speaker. OutFront MotorSports can help you decide what's best for your sound style.

  A loudspeaker enclosure or loudspeaker cabinet is an enclosure in which speaker drivers and associated electronic hardware, such as crossover circuits and, in some cases, power amplifiers, are mounted.

  The purpose of an enclosure is to improve bass response and prevent woofer damage from over-excursion. There are a few things you will need to consider before making your final selection that will ultimately affect your choice in subwoofer enclosure style. 

  The proper box. Without the proper box, it won't sound much accurate but it's alright. Make sure the sub is in phase, “wired properly” and it's well tuned with the amplifier.
