Instructor Daniel Tramposh Talks Car AudioJune 20th, 2012 by
Coyne I wanted to address some of the common electronics issues
that are brought up in courses here at Coyne College. An
interesting question about car audio systems was asked the other
day. Although not taught as a specific subject at Coyne, car
audio systems often come up as a discussion topic. Car audio can
be used to help explain theories relevant to the EST program
such as basic electronic theory, home theater, DC voltage, etc.
The specific car audio question that came up was about fuses on
the main power wire in a car stereo system. A student told me he
had work done to his car stereo by a professional installation
shop. The student purchased a 4 awg power wire kit. The fuse and
fuse holder that came with the kit were installed in his car
trunk. This is not the first time I have heard something like
this. I was a Mobile Electronics Certified Professional (MECP)
installer for many years and logged somewhere in the
neighborhood of 3,500 cars. Th
