car sound systems

Many people just spend too much and in some cases go into debt. What can make this particular situation worse is that people go into debt for a system they realize they do not even like. First, figure out how much money there is available to spend. Then decide how much of the car audio system needs to be replaced. At this point plan a budget - how much can you afford to spend? Therefore you can locate system components in your price range. Deciding what is most important in the car audio system and plan to spend more on the important items. Going over budget is the first and most common mistake car audio system buyers make.Another thing to consider is how much of the car is going to need to be modified for your potential choices. For example, some speaker installation will require many modifications to be made to the car. Modifications will need to be made by a professional and therefore you will have to budget into the total cost of the car audio system parts as well as labor. Another car audio systems mistake is that the owner of the car does not think about the future. How long are you going to keep the car for? Will you sell the car with the new audio system or will you remove it before sale? Remember audio systems never increase the value of a car enough to balancewhat was spent on the audio system in the first place. Also, if you plan on remove the system before you sell the car that could be problematic. Having a radio and an audio system are high priorities when people are searching for a new car to buy.

When and for what do you use the car for? If the car sees a lot of use as well as wear and tear, then buying higher quality components like the car speakers is a great idea. Understandably, if you are spending more time in your car then at home you want to make sure it is as comfortable and entertaining as possible. However, if the car is only used for weekly shopping, low end parts are more appropriate.Another car audio system mistake people make is choosing a system, which is not appropriate for the type of music they listen too. This is probably the most important factor, which should influence the choice of the right car audio system. If the music that you enjoy is strong, bass beats then a high-end
power amplifier is needed. In addition, subwoofers would also be a good choice. However, if your music choice is at the opposite end of the music range then you will need a different audio system setup. For example, if you listen to classical music or trendy pop music, you will need to get a car audio that has a strong speaker system that offer even play of the sound spectrum.

EFI Systems

EZ-EFI Self Tuning Electronic Fuel Injection

For years racers have known that FAST fuel injection systems are an excellent choice for their high revving, nitrous oxide, supercharger and turbocharger equipped rides. The FAST classic and XFI systems have also found their way onto many street machines. Though these systems served their users well, the Engineering team at FAST saw that many didn't have a need for the advanced functionality of the XFI systems, nor did they want to undergo a more lengthy install which may require them to replace their intake manifold and ignition systems.

Many prospective user's reasons for making the switch to EFI are the result of a desire to get the throttle response, mileage and power benefits that result from the ability to maintain the precise air to fuel ratios an electronic fuel injection system is able to deliver. In addition to delivering the aforementioned benefits, the FAST EZ-EFI systems also put an end to changing jets every time the weather and/or altitude changes.

While competing systems employ 20 year old OEM technology ECU's, awkward, costly and fragile mass air sensors, and narrow band O2 sensors (great for mileage, but not helpful for tuning for power), the FAST EZ-EFI offers dyno proven performance that may only be obtained from a wideband O2 equipped, speed density EFI system. Only the EZ-EFI system is worthy to wear the FAST brand name. In addition to its technical advantages, all FAST efi products are backed by the resources of the COMP performance group. If you were ever to have a question about, or problem with an EZ EFI product you can be assured that you will receive the service and support you need.

The EZ-EFI features an all new, patent-pending, self tuning control strategy. Simply hook it up, answer the basic setup Wizard questions on the included hand-held display and watch the system tune itself as you drive. Countless research and development hours were spent on a number of prototype test vehicles to develop a high-quality system truly worthy of the FAST brand.

Capable of supporting engines making up to 550 horsepower, the FAST EZ-EFI Self Tuning Fuel Injection System is a complete system which includes an ECU, wide-band oxygen sensor, wiring harness, fuel injectors, optional fuel pump kit and other assorted components, including an innovative 4150 flange Throttle Body. This Throttle Body delivers a total package approach for any 4150 (Holley square bore) type intake manifold. All necessary components are provided with the EZ-EFI kit, including appropriate fuel injectors and fuel rails. In addition, the EZ-EFI system works with original carb-style throttle linkage and is ready to accept all OEM sensors.

Installation of an EZ-EFI system can be completed easily in an afternoon and doesn’t require any EFI experience or expertise.
