Real Car Audio

[XMAX-1]

A little history...
In 1929, American Paul Galvin, the head of Galvin Manufacturing Corporation, invented the first car radio. The first car radios were not available from carmakers. Consumers had to purchase the radios separately. Galvin coined the name "Motorola" for the company's new products combining the idea of motion and radio.

Car audio has been through quite an evolution. In the sixties, it began as a hobbyist thing- people climbing in and out of cars, running wires, posting antennas: funky little speakers in dilapidated old boxes.

The seventies saw the rise-and demise- of the dreaded eight-track player. Most of these were mounted below-dash, in all their chromey, plastic-fantastic glory.

The eighties saw the advent of the cassette, a time of burgeoning technology in the autosound aftermarket. Suddenly car-fi systems sounded and looked good. Before most automakers had figured out that motorist wetness good sound in their cars, a flood of aftermarket vendors came in to fill the void.

The nineties brought the CD into the car, producing unheard-of dynamics and sound-pressure levels. The CD, as a source, changed the face of car audio forever. Finally, consumers could have living room-quality sound in their cars.

Automakers were finally realising that consumers wanted quality sound as well as a quality automobile. They began including better sound systems in their vehicles and started integrating the systems into the cars with such features as steering wheel-based controls and rounded dashboards. This made it more difficult for the aftermarket vendors to wean away their customers.
