Need A New Head Unit?
Head Unit: The Car Stereo Brains
The Head Unit is the launchpad of your sound system, the deck where your audio and navigation controls are located. Many may also recognize the term stereo receiver when describing a head unit. Although there are some technical differences, for the most part, these terms tend to be used interchangeably.
The head unit clusters many electrical components and is the nucleus of where your sound, navigation and security controls and indicators reside. Regardless, whichever term is used, in a vehicle, a head unit is usually located in the center of the dashboard, and gives the user control over communication and navigation features. Several vehicle manufacturers are now adding features such as odometer information, door chime and lock controls and vehicle warnings. Thus, a head unit also can serve as a secondary instrument panel.
The Head Unit Centerpiece
Just because your head unit is a centerpiece of several technologies, don’t underestimate its ability to transmit a signal of focused, maximum sound performance. This panel of various knobs and buttons could unlock the door to the sweetest, massive pounding vibrations of bass you have ever imagined. Therefore, it is crucial to assure that your head unit is sufficient and compatible before wasting your dollars on those smokin’ speakers you’ve been eyeing for the last few months.
Why rely on the factory settings your car came with when there are vast levels of sound that they can’t access? What good is it to install new speakers, or an amplifier, in a vehicle with a low-quality head unit that can’t keep up? Audio One sound professionals will help you avoid making these mistakes.
