Our blog has an article about 5 options for improving the sound in a car<\/a>. One of the options (it is the third in this article) is a complete replacement of the standard speakers + adding a subwoofer with a connection from an external amplifier (without a processor). This is the option for improving the sound that will be discussed here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Ford Mondeo 2018 arrived with a basic audio system. Regular cardboard speakers, functional standard head unit. That’s it. There is no joy from music, but you want it. That’s what we worked on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The composition of the new audio system is as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Source – standard head unit. As a result, the signal from it was not the worst, you can listen) <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    1. External amplifier – four-channel Ground Zero Mini Four (two channels were given to the front, two were bridged to the subwoofer)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. The speakers for the front and rear are the same – Italian PHD CF 6.1. The front set is via a crossover from the amplifier, the rear acoustics are directly from the head unit. Such schemes are used periodically in order to fit into the budget, but squeeze the most out of it. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. The subwoofer link is a custom compact case with a flat speaker Focal PS25FSE from the Flax line with a flax diffuser. We have really fallen in love with this speaker lately – beautiful, deep, low, elastic, clear – this is how low frequencies sound with this subwoofer. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      That’s all, actually. A laconic audio system, where the emphasis is on the right choice of audio components. We always first determine the budget of the system – then select the highest quality components in the specified budget. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      First of all, we did audio preparation – vibration insulation of metal surfaces and plastic door cards, noise insulation of door cards. All four doors were treated with materials from the Ukrainian manufacturer Acoustics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Speakers for Ford Mondeo<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      The most important aspect of this project is the speakers that were chosen for this car. We are constantly looking for the best options for audio equipment for your cars, trying to find options that are impressive in sound quality, while surprising with an adequate price. The set of Italian acoustics PHD CF 6.1 (manufactured at a factory in Italy) from the junior line of the audiophile brand is exactly like that – everyone who hears it at our stand admires it. Externally unattractive speakers, sound in the car so that goosebumps run down the skin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      So, for the front and rear we chose two sets of PHD CF 6.1<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      Traditionally, we compare the standard acoustics and the new ones. The factory speakers, of course, lose: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      How can speakers with a magnet like the standard Ford Mondeo speakers reproduce mid-bass frequencies?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \"\"
      Where is the magnet on the standard speaker???<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      Since the standard Ford Mondeo locations allow for the installation of two-piece kits both in the front and rear, we took advantage of this. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Amplifier for Ford Mondeo<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      The Ground Zero Mini Four amplifier is located in the trunk wing. The amplifier is compact and completely satisfies us with its functionality and sound quality. For mid-level systems – one of the best! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Subwoofer for Ford Mondeo<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      The subwoofer was placed in the trunk, as expected. Check out how compact the case is and how little space it takes up: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      WHAT IS THE PRICE OF THE PROJECT?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Surely, you are interested to know the budget of this project? I will announce it – the turnkey budget was 54,000 UAH (1900$). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
