Home Theater in Your Vehicle
Author: adminNow you can get the same experience you would in a home theater in your vehicle. There are options for purchasing a true 5.1 surround theater system on the market today. A true 5.1 surround system is made up of two front and rear speakers, a center speaker, and a sub woofer for low-end frequencies. The vehicle set-up is typically the same.
You can buy a Dolby Digital/DTS compatible DVD player (sometimes called an in-dash DVD player) and a surround-sound decoder. The most typical connection between the two components is called a digital optical cable, but be sure to check your individual pieces to make sure they are compatible. If by chance they are not, there is most likely an adapter that can be purchased to help make the connection work, but be sure to read your instructions before purchasing an adapter.
Once you have one of these car DVD players connected to the decoder by way of the optical cable, it is then possible to output the audio to the separate amps for the two front and rear speakers and the center speaker. It is then possible to bring the signal from the decoder to the receiver, which in turn allows you to use the DVD receiver to send an audio signal. Of course, if your DVD receiver has this capability, then there is no need for separate amplifiers. Typically, you will need a separate amplifier for your sub woofer. It is also possible for these speakers to be self-amplified. This is when the amplifier is built in to the sub woofer and buying a separate one is not necessary.
Another option is buying and installing a car DVD player and receiver that comes with surround sound capability. These mobile DVD players process digital signals internally, in turn rendering the need for external ones obsolete. This option will already give you all the necessary outputs your front, rear, and center speakers require. To complete the entire audio system, you will still need to purchase an amplified sub woofer or a sub woofer and amplifier separately.
