ONE class in the competition car modification is car audio contest. For the hobbyist modifications. Audio contest into a class is quite challenging because it reduces their creativity and imagination to build a sound system that looks unique, original output plus the steady and comfortable on the ear.
To look clearly depends imagination and creativity of each individual, while the output of the sound produced is strongly influenced by the reliability engineers in setting the current phase of the installation. Besides these two things, the assessment of judges is also influenced by several other factors.
"Face value is calculated for the purchase of the device alone. Cables and other passive components are not included in the count. The benchmark used is the highest market price, "he explained. Installation factors will obviously note the jury. Standards must be good and safe installation. An example is the connection cable must be soldered and fuel hoses. Usage and capacity fuses must also be in accordance with the electricity used cars. Completeness of the bolts on the speakers also did not escape the attention of the assessment team.
"All processes intalasi there should be photos and notes because it can add value. Historical development of audio is also included. So start the car looks like nothing until after it is built so as to what should have photos and history, "
Preparation and placement of box speakers in the car not to disturb the driver comfort. This will reduce the points. From behind the wheel, drivers forward view, rearview mirror left right and center should not be hindered at all.
Operation of the steering wheel, gear lever and pedals also have barrier-free. Sometimes, the car owner to choose a specific theme to build the audio. Use accessories that add beauty and cosmetics audio visual appearance will obviously boost the ratings points. The latter is the quality of the resulting sound output. The audio system will be assessed based on the staging, imaging and tonal accuracy. Setting an appropriate and correct during the install m, emegang menantukan important role that the quality of his voice. "Do not forget to mute pop on and pop off,"

10 Easy and Safe Tips Car Driving
Driving safely is everyone's desire, the following tips are easy to be implemented
- Always check the tires regularly check the tires before the road. Keep the air pressure in tires as recommended. The size of the right air pressure is determined by the vehicle manufacturer and can be read on the back side of the door, doorpost, glove box door or behind the fuel tank cap. These sizes can also be read in user manual. The numbers are printed on the tire wall is not the recommended air pressure for tires, but the maximum pressure for that tire. Check your tire air pressure at least once a month. Check the depth of the groove. Sufficient depth to avoid the cars skid (slip) or floating on water (aquaplaning).
- Reduce speed in rainy season, the water mixes with oil on the road surface and make the road surface becomes slippery and the tires slip easily. The best way to avoid the slip is to reduce speed. At lower speeds more groove tires come into contact with the road surface and traction will be better.
- Learning how to cope with Slip slip can occur even in the driver the most careful though. If the car begins to skid, do not ever step on the brakes out. Do not pump the brakes if the car is equipped with anti-lock braking system (ABS). Instead, press with a definite and direct steering in the direction of slip car.
- Keep your distance with the car in front of Driving in wet weather requires a subtle way of using the main control, steering, clutch pedals, brake and gas. When traveling in wet weather, boots may be too wet and can be slipped off the pedal. Rub the soles of shoes to rubber mats in the car before starting the engine. Every driver should always check headlights, taillights, brake lights and turn the sign lights (turn signal) everything works fine. On a wet road braking distances required three times longer than on dry roads. Because it takes a greater distance, do not stick to the car in front (tailgate). At least keep a distance twice the length of the car between the car in front.
- Follow the direction of the car in front Avoid using the brakes. If still possible, reduce speed by releasing the gas pedal. Turn on the headlights, although rain is not too heavy. These lights not only helps to see the road but also help other drivers see. If a car equipped with daytime running lights, in order to quicken the vehicle behind can see it better.
- Learn to avoid and overcome the cars floating on water (aquaplaning) aquaplaning occurs when the water in front of the assembled car tires more quickly than can be driven by the weight of the car. The pressure of the water lifted the car so that floated on the water that is between the tire and the road surface. At that time, the car will lose contact with the road surface, danslip or out of the lane. To avoid this situation, tire pressure should always be checked. Groove tires should also be deep enough. If necessary, the tire should be replaced. Slow down when roads are wet, and avoid puddles. Try to follow the trail left by tires on the front. If you feel the car floating on the water, do not brake or turn the wheel abruptly. This will make the car slip. Remove the stamping on the accelerator until the car speed is reduced and again felt the grip of the tires on the road surface. If the car is equipped ABS, stepped on the brakes as normal. Computers in the brake system will do its own pumping when necessary.
- If heavy rain, stopping just a heavy rain will burden glass wiper (wiper), so the windshield is always covered with water. When the outlook is very limited so can not see the limits of the road or other vehicles, it's a sign we should step aside and stop until the rain stopped. Look for a resort or other safe places. If forced to stop at the curb, stop to the edge once. Turn on headlights and hazard lights to create alert other drivers.
- Early rains make roads very slippery When the rain had just come down, usually the path becomes very difficult to control because of mud and oil on a dry road is now mixed with water and form a layer that is very slippery. Control of the car will be reduced, therefore the driver must be careful during the first half hour after it began to rain.
- Cloudy weather also reduces vision Take extra care when preceded by other vehicles. Dry your brakes after going through the puddles. After going through a puddle of water in your brakes and maybe wet, press the brake pedal a little dry.
- Stop driving when feeling very tired Stop every few hours or after several hundred miles to rest.

- Test drive is essential. Try you get a chance to test drive as far as possible with different variations in the road. Can also try to the area where the car will be frequently used.
- Open the hood and see if there is a leaking pipe, a worn belt, the spilled oil. Sit in the driver's seat, and check if all the indicators work fine, as well as indicator lights. Also, check for signs of damage due to water (see tip prevent catastrophic aftershocks). Check the safety system, ranging from seat belt, head restrain, roof structure, child seat anchors. Similarly, sight distance and transmit power main lights. This can be done during a test drive. Try to drive at a speed of 60-80 km / h and feel whether the replacement teeth can be soft, the steering is always straight, remained stable when braking and when cornering is also smooth.
- Be careful with odometer fraud. This is often done rogue sellers who want to increase the value of cars it sells. So do not be fooled by the numbers listed on the odometer.
- Now it's time to set up your new car payment. When choosing to credit, the safest is to first determine how big the financial ability to pay monthly installments. The easy way, installment should not be more than 20 percent of income per month after cut spending. Account the cost of care, taxes, insurance and operational. Pay deposit of at least 10 percent of the price of the car. Less than that, would doubt the ability of credit providers? you financially. So if you have the money in cash, a better use for the down payment. This step also would reduce the principal debt burden associated with monthly installments.

Tips Let's Maintain Your Power Steering Car
Power steering is a tool tool that can help the driver to turn the steering wheel more easily. Power steering consists of two kinds, namely, the fluid system and electrical system.
Fluid system using brake fluid to move the steering box. While the system uses electric motors to move the steering box that does not require a complicated routine maintenance.

3.Perhatikan volume of brake fluid. Not recommended to use this device if the volume of brake fluid under the sign min (minimum) because it will damage the seals and other components. Repair costs are very expensive.
So note the brake fluid container sticks. If it does not touch the surface of the oil, means the brake fluid is below min. Immediately taken to the garage because there may have been a leak.
4.Gantilah brake fluid after 30.000 km or one year. Replacement / addition of brake fluid should match the car manufacturer's manual.

Automatic Car Driving Tips
CAR automatic transmission have fundamental differences with the car manual, ranging from the physical form of gear, operation, until the character of the car's speed.
On manual cars, there are three pedals on the floor of the car controllers, namely the gas pedal, brake, and clutch. Stepped on the gas and brake and clutch with your right foot left foot. While in the automatic car only two pedals, the gas and brake. The existence of two pedals often makes people mistakenly stepped on the brake with the left foot and the gas with the right foot.
Should the two pedals were still operated with the right foot. Automatic car requires the driver's left foot all the way idle. Brake and gas pedal at the same time can damage the automatic transmission because the clutch in a condition turning, but the motion was detained.
Instead of showing the position of tooth 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and R as in manual cars, automatic transmission rod indicates the position P (park / parking), R (reverse / reverse), N (neutral / neutral), and D (drive / path to the front), respectively. On some cars, this combination plus the position of D1 or D2 or S and L (the car moves, but was detained in the teeth of 1 or 2, required when the steep incline, a sharp derivative, or across the slippery road conditions.)
Get used to start the car with the gear in position P coupled brakes (on some cars, the engine could be the start if the gear position is not in P and not step on the brake). Always walk on the brake when moving the gear from the position P or N to R or D position because once the gear was in the position of the R or D, the car in motion. When the car stopped for a while, for example at traffic lights or jams, do not get used to hold the brake on position in P. This will damage the transmission. Try moving to a position N when stopped.
Gearshift automatically create a driver who is not used will be confused when needed to move the teeth in order to get power or acceleration, such as overtaking a car. In this condition, use the kick-down function (pressing the gas pedal in-in), then the automatic gear down and the car gets accelerated.
In the latest cars, shift done electronically so that it can be moved into the semi-automatic mode. Fashion given different names depending on brand cars, such as the Porsche Tiptronic, multitronic and S-tronic in Audi, and Activematic at Mazda. However, the same working principle, the driver can move the gear manually in M mode (manual) by moving the stick shift into the position of (+) to move into a higher gear and the position of (-) for the lower teeth.
