This locality has a crowd of automobile sound fan, thinks of every means to make the perfect acoustic combination, but also goes abroad the competition, lets the overseas expert verify own work.
First saw Cai Guifu (55 year-old) the black Master Mazda 6 passenger vehicles, on the outward appearance and the road the numerous vehicles do not have what differently. Rides in the vehicle, what is only conspicuous is installs in the vehicle front seat both sides ultra modern speaker, before display board's acoustic player, the human who can judge the quality of goods can see this to be expensive absolutely to the Morel speaker.

This, is the making perfect automobile music heart.
Not only the Cai Guifu automobile sound system is illustrious in the local automobile sound social group, it also once obtained the entire audience third place in the overseas well-known international competition.
In Singapore, the making competition level's automobile sound social group is increasing quietly, Cai Guifu is, but he reforms from the common acoustic fan becomes the competition master, behind also has small stories.
Completes the friend to participate the last wish
Cai Guifu received the elder brother to affect in childhood, falls in love with music, specially the rock and roll song, after more than 30 years ago purchased the first vehicle, started to work as a volunteer the nature re-equipping automobile sound.
He said: “plays house Hi-fi expensively on the other hand many, but the automobile sound changes well, can also achieve the high standard the acoustic fidelity.”
67 years ago, he had known through the local automobile sound network forum a crowd of research high-end automobile sound's friend, since then, everybody meets frequently, research re-equipping attainment. What is interesting, this social group young people are many, but Cai Guifu middle age biggest “uncle level” troops.
He disclosed that some member's long-time dream, is can assemble a competition level sound system, attends the domestic and foreign sports events. This member is for long economical in everyday spending, slowly assembles in the dream “ultimate” the system.
“unexpectedly, when has completed 70% systems, he came across a serious traffic accident in 2007 to lose their life. Has not realized the dream to meet the tragedy with enough time, has shocked me greatly. Therefore, I when this friend pass away the first anniversary, decided that helps him to complete the dream!”
In three months enter the garage “to have a surgery” daily
Just in time, Cai Guifu to look after the twin children who in 2005 prematurely delivers, but resigns from consultant to work, becomes the full-time employment “the house-husband”. in 2008 the children health grows up, are many spare hours, therefore also impels him to place the complete thoughts this acoustic project.
He looked for automobile sound shop Dimension Audio boss Zhong who at that time newly established Li the male cooperation, according to the passing away friend's blueprint expansion, spent three months 6 to make own Mazda the motion music palace.
In that three months, the automobile carries on the major surgery in the garage, Cai Guifu nearly daily in there participation re-equipping work. After completing, but must be the speaker “the warm body”, the initialize the system is 140 hours uninterruptedly.
He said: “I also am the athlete, must win the championship must prepare for the most perfect training and thorough. This set of ideas also use in make in the automobile sound.”
Plays the automobile sound to be cheaper than the house sound
Reporter asked that Cai Guifu, such likes playing the sound, why chooses the automobile sound, but is not the house sound which receives welcome (Hi-fi). He said that must make the perfect house sound, must consider room design, sound-insulated, the equipment is also more precious, from the money weight is without limits.
“the automobile space is small, must in this spatial making same high acoustic fidelity, comparatively, the expenditure affirm many little. Must in the automobile building perfect acoustic fidelity, only need the house sound 25% expenses. In addition, I when and so on children finish class frequently, listens to music in the vehicle, as soon as sometimes stops is three hours.”
Although Cai Guifu is not willing to disclose that its sound system spends how much money making, the list from the equipment estimate, also takes 30,000 Yuan at least. He said that his automobile sound's composition, is must achieve the perfect acoustic fidelity (Sound Quality, is called SQ). A perfect system should in the sound field (staging), the tonality (tonality), music image formation (imaging), the sound reappearance (sound reproduction) and so on aspects achieve the high score.
He said that the most ideal boundary is, sits the driver seat to be equal to marches into the music hall, but stage above display board. “when you shut the eye, the sound is comes from above the display board, should also be able to hear the different musical instrument's position.”
Reporter the audition sound-surround ambiance is full
Reporter sits the Shangtsai sweet osmanthus rich passenger vehicle's driving seat, the classical audition tune which the broadcast sound confuses “Hotel California” the scene version - - right side guitar, the left side drum is clear “the reproduction” at present, the keynote singer vicissitudes' sound in among conveys, experiences the situation personally described, not in the least.
Trades the Shangtsai qin "Moonlight", as soon as the voice pulls open, faints from fear the acoustic fidelity to be thick, to be pure. This tune's latter half take a summer day night's pond as a background, under moonlight shining upon, cricket's cry clear may hear, sound field right flank hears the frog cry, indistinct may hear, the sound-surround ambiance is full. Although is not the expert, but feels pronounces the sound sound balanced and the warmth.

The Cai Guifu automobile vehicle door folded the sound-insulated material, sat in the vehicle, removed including the automobile own engine noise in outside. He smiled said: “sometimes hears to be enthralled, the outside vehicle also cannot hear fiercely according to the loudspeaker!”
Reporter in Che Li
Waits three minutes to hold the white flag
Plays the automobile sound the human has two broad headings, one kind the fan who is like Cai Guifu pays great attention the acoustic fidelity like this, another kind, then the attention acoustic pressure level (Sound Pressure Level, is called SPL), the decibel is higher, the performance is better.
The graduation from the southern coastal provinces University of Science and Technology engineering department, is engaged in automobile sound electric wire business's Huang at present Xun the light (27 years old), starts from 2005 to play the automobile sound, one year later assembles the ultra strong sound system in the vehicle. What is interesting, in vehicle's broadcast machine, speaker, megaphone and the ultra-large type woofer, are personally DIY.
He said: “I arrive at the night shop revelry frequently, likes the bass strong dance music, therefore very natural when plays the automobile sound, challenges the high sound pressure.”
Huang Xunguang manufactures and re-equips the knowledge through the overseas website study, in around his Mitsubishi passenger vehicle's sound system re-equips four times, his each flower surpasses for 15 hours, the back guy, installs the equipment again personally, is for the purpose of outputting most has the blasting power the sound.
The interview same day, he broadcasts the most popular vigor tune, reporter sits at present in the vehicle, the explosive bass back and forth shakes in the vehicle, on sends the tail and the neck young wool along with every one records the bass caper. Three minutes get down, the tympanum already hum made noise, lifts up high the white flag.
Huang Xunguang smiled said: “to protect you, has not twisted the glass. If listens to this gadget in the seal compartment, has shocks the nature.”
The early time has a fever the friendly affection to challenge the high sound pressure
Very obvious, is not each people likes such “music” the experience, what but possibly is called outside your opinion is, the local early time's automobile sound social group is the fan who pays great attention the acoustic pressure level. 80th, the 90s, weekend night to the Shilida lower segment reservoir's d**e, the general meeting saw that to a row of neon twinkle's re-equipping freight vehicle, is outstanding the large-scale bass, exhibits “the sound is not astonishing refuses stubbornly to rest” stance.
In recent years, the local automobile sound social group more paid great attention “the acoustic fidelity” obviously, looked like Huang Xunguang this kind “the vigor sound to be crazy”, instead turned minority.
Huang Xunguang said: “now, plays the acoustic pressure level the sound to confuse in local is pasted on `Armin ' the label, is also looked down upon by the human. But for me, how to output the strong bass to need many physical and the sound principle knowledge. In fact, West's automobile sound social group, the remarkable part belongs to the acoustic pressure level category.”
More and more automobile sound fan goes abroad the participation
Cai Guifu competes SASCA in 2008 local automobile sound (Singapore Auto Sound Challenge Association) the preliminary test cry, in preliminary contest from 20 vehicles blooming, official's cap entire audience.
This medicinal preparation strong heart needle impels him to drive finally to go north 2000 kilometer outside Thai Bangkok, attends the international big finals.

Not only the study abroad competition can with the region best match contest, can also let the specialized referee verify sound system's quality.”
The study abroad participation, he chooses in the middle of for the first time 12 categories highest-level “SQ Ultimate” the group participation, the match has three Thai vehicles, three Malaysia Che Heling from Singapore's automobile.
“the Thai match is the specialized automobile sound company, my goal originally was defeats the new horse match to satisfy at least. Unexpectedly the result is I also surmounts a Thai match, obtains the third place, is very accidental pleasantly surprised.”
Cai Guifu said that holds the international sports event in Bangkok, everybody is glad to the exchange re-equipping attainment, also welcome each other audition own work. In addition, after the competition ended the night, everybody could the automobile sound system connection in the DJ Taiwan's system, simultaneously broadcast the strong music, the hold revelry sends rightly.
“perhaps receives my result inspiration, wants to feel the international sports event's atmosphere, the study abroad participation local automobile sound fan are getting more and more. The year before last only then our two, have more than ten vehicles to go north last year attends two sports events which Thailand held, trust can be more this year.”
Re-equipping automobile sound
When long-term investment
Enters located at the Mali gentlemen he road's automobile sound shop Dimension Audio, can see this kind of picture frequently: Several automobile sound fan gathers at one jiao, the discussion at present the newest product, but boss Zhong Lixiong sits in the customer vehicle, shuts the eye to look up listens to sound system's acoustic fidelity slight defect, from now on will use the excellent electronic tuning equipment to adjust.
32 year-old Zhong Li male is the full-time employment serviceman originally, is young when starts to join the automobile sound social group, after finally retires simply, pools capital the start sound shop with the family member, unifies the interest and the occupation. Three years ago open Dimension Audio is the field recruit, but he the quantity body makes for Cai Guifu the automobile sound system obtains the glory after the competition, also hits the reputation.
The promotion automobile sound system's person was still minority
Talks about the local automobile entertainment system (In Car Entertainment, was called ICE) the social group, Zhong Lixiong said that although more and more people re-equipped the automobile sound, but this social group has not calculated in a big way. “in intends to promote in the middle of vehicle's vehicle owner, 70% will choose performance and so on speed, outward appearance, engine performance to re-equip, but the seeing and hearing sound equipment's re-equipping population will only account for 30%. And, will promote sound system's female will be few.”
He disclosed that although the competition level's sound system frequently needs several thousand Yuan, but a set of high quality's automobile sound, shouts out the price is 3,000-4,000 Yuan generally. Even if is 600 Yuan speakers adds the megaphone necessary, obtains the effect general meeting is much better than the mostly original installation automobile sound system.
The basic Chinese should begin from the speaker
Zhong Lixiong proposed that the wish stepping in automobile sound's basic Chinese, should regard it the long-term plan, according to the financial situation, purchases the high quality gradually the module, but is not one time has spent over a thousand Yuan, purchase overall performance medium system. “the reason lies, for example the good speaker can use for a long time, can withstand the product promotion the challenge. How long has't the purchase quality common speaker can replace, spends more money imperceptibly.”
He suggested that the basic Chinese should begin first from the speaker, because it can bring the biggest promotion, then one step by step increases the megaphone, the media broadcast machine, the electric wire, sound-insulated and so on. “found the shop which most importantly may trust, because is different with in family's sound system, the automobile sound in the installment, the back guy arrives at the tuning, needs the enormous time, to sound system's performance crucial role.”
Also wants to become the automobile sound fan?
Some interests understood that the automobile sound system's words, may glance over: http://sgcaraudio.com, the forum website lets the net friend exchange the attainment, business second-hand sound module, comments the local sound to install the shop and the product and so on. They also non-periodically hold the meeting, lets everybody be able the audition each other's system. The local many Auto club website also has own automobile sound forum.
