Never before has the term
"loudspeaker" been taken so lit-

For the more conservative

Whil' e the evolution
of the automobile
continues toward
safer and driver-
friendly designs, auto stereo
systems continue to strive for
one goal — perfect sound re-
production.
Great strides have been
made in the last 30 years. In the
early '60s an AM/FM radio was
considered a new option and not
even available on all models.
By the late '60s 8-track stere-
os started showing up on option
lists, but were replaced by cas-
sette units in the late '70s.
The '80s witnessed an influx
of continually more sophisti-
cated equipment,

such as graph-
ic equalizers. In 1989 Ford's
Thunderbird could be ordered
with a CD player for the first
time.
Today the choices available
to the car buyer can seem a bit
overwhelming. The advances
to the driver make it possible to
access more channels easily,
with better sound and with in-
creased ability to "fine-tune" the
music system for individual
preferences.
The current crop of radio car
systems allow the driver to pro-
gram many stations. Cassette
players can locate the beginning
of the next or previous song
with a touch of a button. Hav-
ing the top of the line AM/FM
radio is now basic equipment.
The ability to seek, scan and
lock-in on distant stations and
then store information have be-
come standard for the industry.
With CDs showing up in in-
creasing numbers, the prices
have naturally come down,
putting them in the reach of
more consumers.
• CD players range from
$300 to $500.
• CD players are commonly
offered in several different con-
figurations.
• The CD AM/FM radio com-
bination limits those that wish
to play cassettes. Many of the

type of car you
own is the first step.
Even with space
limitations, the variety re-
mains quite sufficient. One
manufacturer's catalog listed
27 different types of speakers.
Prices range from around $79
for 1-inch speakers to over $100
for 12-inch versions.
Because auto-sound sales are
frequent and, by doing some
comparative shopping, the con-
sumer can realize substantial
savings.
It used to be that when am-
plifiers were mentioned in the
same sentence as automobiles,
everyone assumed you were a
member of a rock band. Now,
more and more systems feature
amplifiers as a way of over-
powering road noise as well as
enhancing various nuances in
the music.
The goal is to reproduce the
music as if you were in the stu-
dio watching the song being
recorded or at the group's latest
live concert.
Although the current king on
the audio throne is certainly the
CD, two new upstarts, are the
Minidisc (MD) and the Digital
Compact Disc (DCC).
For the consumer ready to
upgrade a system or to install
their first high-quality unit,
both Stereo Review and Con-
sumer Reports are good sources
of information.
