Does Car Audio Modification Affect the Original Wiring?
With rising living standards, car ownership grows rapidly. Increasing vehicles congest once-spacious urban roads, especially during rush hours. Smooth driving is a fading dream. Enjoying time stuck in traffic makes audio modification valuable. Many owners upgrade their car audio. As the saying goes: "Roads are blocked, but music isn't."
Some enthusiasts invest heavily in top-tier systems. But another group desires upgrades but hesitates due to safety concerns about affecting other circuits, abandoning modification plans.
In reality, audio upgrades don't affect the car's original circuits. Car audio is a separate system, independent of the car's electrical system. Any car comes with a head unit (CD, tape, etc.); luxury models include DVD/GPS. Thus, they have a dedicated audio harness (power cable). When replacing a CD or adding a DVD system, simply swap the harness with the new unit's dedicated cable. Standard connection methods and proper protection ensure no impact on the car's circuits. For larger upgrades (adding a power amp), use a matching oxygen-free copper power cable (directly from the battery, independent of car circuits). Cable gauge must match system power; add a waterproof gold-plated fuse for safety. For very large systems (multiple high-power amps), consider adding capacitors or upgrading battery/alternator. Placement matters; secure or hide these accessories. Even with these additions, the original circuits remain unaffected.
