Do you need to add a separate car audio equalizer into your car audio system? This is a question that our car audio website gets asked a lot so I thought I will make a dedicated car audio article about it. A car equalizer allows you to obtain full control of the different frequencies that are played through the car speakers, car tweeters, and car subwoofer in your vehicle's system. This allows you to get the best sound quality based on your listening preference from your favorite music. This allows you to add more bass, mid and treble.
Most aftermarket car audio headunits from Pioneer and Kenwood made from 2010 and onwards have an integrated digital car audio equalizer built into the stereo settings itself. This is sufficient for most and contains a wide range of bands, usually a minimum of 8 bands or more. Back in the 90s car stereos didn't have any equalization software built into them because of the limited amount of technology that was available. This is the main reason why old school equalizers were popular at the time. Not any more though.
The only reason to get an aftermarket car audio equalizer installed into your car audio system in this day and age is if the car stereo that you are using doesn’t have an equalizer or it doesn't have enough bands for you to fine-tune to your liking. An additional car equalizer to add to a car stereo will always look aesthetically better and you will get the satisfaction of tuning the crossover settings with pressing buttons and moving sliders.
However, in terms of sound quality, there is no difference between the equalizer on your aftermarket car stereo if it contains the same amount of bands. However, if you want to install an old school car equalizer it certainly is worth it if you have the space to install it and if you see it for sale for a good price.
You also will need to use an external car amplifier if you want to add a car equalizer to your audio system. This is because it will need separate signals from each car amplifier, one for front and rear mids and highs and from the bass car subwoofer amplifier being fed into it using RCA cables. You will need to run three sets of high quality RCA cables down your car's interior. If you don't like the hassle of additional wiring, you might want to consider getting an upgraded headunit with a built-in parametric graphic equalizer.
An electric car is only as good as its charger. My personal favourite is the Besen Ev charger because its small and compact. It is made from high quality components and high quality copper wire has been used to provide the greatest level of conductivity. Ev charger manufacturer are important because you want to ensure you charge your vehicle safely.
