Wiring circuit

When it comes to auto sound systems, one question seems to be repeated often-is bigger better? The honest answer to that is not by a long shot. There are many excellent quality sound systems that will not require the backseat and your first-born in order to enjoy wonderful quality of sound and music as you drive along on your daily commute. One thing that is important to remember is that dynamite does in fact come in small packages. The same can be true of a good quality sound system for your car, truck, or SUV.

This is an animal origin, a simple circuit. Interesting, because an IC package and a simple good
Operation of the circuit. This circuit, an IC, a number HT82231 IC package that has other audio source animals. The origin of the sound depends on the switch S1-S8 of switch.

Each is a different animal sounds and choose to press each LED1, LED2 lights alternately as it sounds they hear. The R1, R2 LED forward current limiting for each signal will come out on pin 19, to expand the force with Q1. There is also a sound that VR1 can be adjusted as soon as we hear. Or slow as you like C1, C2 prevents low-frequency noise. And high frequencies.

I have been build this speaker for my brother, these are do-it-yourself (DIY) speakers that and using granite for the speaker box. I listen this speaker, Thats Great Perfect Sound, nearly linear reproduction sound. Great Job Man!. Source Perfect Sound Granite DIY Speaker Project.

Seas Loudspeaker Drivers
The drivers selected for this loudspeaker system are from Seas who has been producing speaker drivers for over 50 years. The tweeter is the Seas 27 TFFC which has a fabric dome. The Sonolex lightweight fabric dome has high consistency and provides excellent stability against variations in air humidity. The stiff and stable rear chamber allows for a moderately low crossover frequency (~2500kHz). This made the Seas 27 TFFC tweeter the right choice for our granite loudspeaker project.

The woofer we used is the Seas G17REX/P. The woofer consists of a fiber glass cone, a bullet shaped phase plug and a high loss rubber surround. These are carefully matched to each other resulting in smooth frequency response.

Speaker Box and Crossover Design
The speaker box and crossover network were designed by M.Janura and K.Sýkory using the LspCAD speaker design software package. A volume of 15L (dimensions 220 x 350 x 250 mm) and a tuning frequency of 45 Hz was used for the speaker box. The dividing frequency is 2.5kHz and the drivers are connected in phase. The crossover schematic and modeled frequency response are shown below.



The components used in the crossover dividing network are from TESLA. I think that the people in the former Czechoslovakia were able to produce high quality components, but you may use your favorite type. The condensers (capacitors) used in crossover are MKT type - we did not use bipolar condensers because they have disadvantages that I wont further specify. The inductors are air core.

Sound

I was knocked off my feet with the sound after the first track we played: Everlast - Folsom Prison Blues by the legendary Johnny Cash. The song tested bass response of the speakers. We didnt expect such deep and accurate bass from small speakers. The speakers deliver very detailed sound (soft treble and great imaging). They play rock music aggressively and classical music with emotion. As we say: "they play like HONEY" (it means - brilliant) and they look great too.

I would like to thank to Marian Mózer and everyone in the team for their effort and for the job well done. The loudspeaker system is designed by M.Janura and K.Sýkory - named Besie 1.

We understand that most of you will not be able to make speaker boxes of granite. If you are interested in speakers made from granite, please send me an email and we may be able to help you. Thank you and I hope you enjoyed our project.

How do you decide which auto sound system is best for you? This is a question that many consumers ask in the U. S. each and every day. The truth is that only you can decide what kind of sound you find enjoyable and what you are seeking in the sound system you will ultimately purchase. A good sound system will greatly improve how you feel about not only the vehicle you drive but also your disposition after your daily commute. It may seem like such a small thing, the changing of a sound system, but it does seem to have such a profound impact on how we start our days. Of course we all know that getting your day off to a good start sets the tone for the entire day and if that day is Monday it sets the tone for not only the day ahead but also the week to come.

Music affects almost every aspect of our lives. Most of us do not realize the impact that music has on our day-to-day lives and it is quite difficult because our world seems to be filled with it. It is much easier however, to explain the difference a good sound system makes. Its funny, I find myself in a hurry to get out of stores that have lousy sound systems and speakers that dribble out little more than static while I can shop for hours in a store that has tasteful music playing in the background over a good sound system. I prefer the volume lower and the music playing in the background rather than being the center of my attention.

Most of us find that soft music playing in the background is rather unobtrusive and allows us to get along with our thoughts and the mission at hand while loud music blaring over antiquated speakers does a great deal to disrupt our thought processes which will only serve to send us along to the next errand on our list. If youll notice it seems that clerks in the stores where the loud music blares along are often not as even tempered as those in stores that play music at respectful volumes and have very well kept sound systems. I think I would be cranky too after listening to music in a manner that music wasnt meant to be heard.

Im not a music snob by any means; I simply enjoy listening to music for the sake of actually hearing the music. Loud music is good sometimes but not when I have other things on my mind. I prefer that music remain in the background when Im running about taking care of errands, even in the car. The hallmark of a good auto sound system is that it sounds good even at low volumes. This means you can enjoy music in the background, hum along, or simply ignore the music in favor of the action taking place on the road.

The point Im trying to make is that even though you may not realize the impact that a good auto sound system has on music immediately, you will definitely feel the difference it makes over time. The better the sound system, the better the sound and music is after all, sound.

If you are a true lover of music and spend a great deal of your week or even any given day in your vehicle, doesnt it make sense to invest heavily in your auto sound system? I know for me that particular decision is a no brainer. I love music and it is an important part of not only my life but also the lives of my children. As a result we spend a lot of time listening to the radio in our SUV and singing along. Even when we arent listening to music, I enjoy listening talk radio and the news on NPR. These things are an important part of my day and I really enjoy all that each and every one adds to my life. Because of that, I find my investment in a good auto sound system to be a requirement rather than a luxury.

Sound?
Websters dictionary defines sound as:

"The perceived object occasioned by the impulse or vibration of a material substance affecting the ear; a sensation or perception of the mind received through the ear, and produced by the impulse or vibration of the air or other medium with which the ear is in contact; the effect of an impression made on the organs of hearing by an impulse or vibration of the air caused by a collision of bodies, or by other means; noise; report; as, the sound of a drum; the sound of the human voice; a horrid sound; a charming sound; a sharp, high, or shrill sound."

Mmm, fancy. We all know what a sound is. Its a noise, something we sense with our ears. But what is sound? Its the vibration of the air by a moving body. For our purposes in car audio that moving body is our speakers. The movement of the speaker forward and backward causes a vibration in the air that our ear receives and we hear music. Heres what sound looks like as a wave:



 
A sound wave goes through a cycle of 360 degrees. As the speaker moves forward it goes from rest (0 degrees) through one quarter of its cycle to 90 degrees. As it starts to move back to rest it travels another 90 degrees to the 180 degree mark before moving completely rearward to 270 degrees. As it moves back to the rest position it travels the final 90 degrees to the 360 degree mark. The cycle then repeats itself and we hear the result as music. To summarize, as the speaker moves up and down it travels one cycle which equals 360 degrees. These cycles are measured in Hertz (Hz) with one Hertz being equal to one cycle. The lower the number of Hz the lower the sound we hear. A human can hear, on average, the sounds between 20 Hz and 20,000 Hz (also known as 20 kHz).

We do not hear all of the sounds equally though. Our ears are less sensitive to sounds at the far ends of the scale. This was discovered through research done by Fletcher and Munson and they have given us the "Fletcher-Munson" curve which illustrates this point.



Notice how the curve goes up at both ends of the scale. Also notice how the curve is greater at lower volume levels (sound pressure levels). This is what the loudness circuit on a head unit tries to do. Increase the level of the low and high frequencies at lower volume levels. As the volume goes up the level of boost at these frequencies is reduced. However, some loudness circuits do nothing more than boost the low and high frequencies by a constant amount. If youve seen a vehicle with an in-dash equalizer the chances are very good that the vertical sliders were arranged in a similar fashion to the Fletcher-Munson curve. This is sometimes called "making your EQ smile".
