It does not even hesitate to embrace the top audio manufacturers to work together to develop the best audio systems in vehicles. <br />
<br />
The car manufacturers are aware that the need for entertainment is currently not simply just good to hear, but more than that. Especially for audiophile consumers who are critical and have a high demand for a quality sound system. <br />
<br />
Here are 10 cars with the best sound system according to the 'audiophile' in US, which released by the Popular Mechanics magazine. <br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
1. Mazdaspeed3 2011<br />
<br />
We started with a 'cheapest' Bose stereo system that embedded in the Mazdaspeed3 2011. With it has provided 10 speakers, the sound produced for the current size is not too powerful. <br />
<br />
However, audio-powered 265-watt presented by Bose entry in the category 'premium audio. " This system is capable of presenting sound 'crisp' and balanced community bond accompanied by the sound of the boom-mounted subwoofer with smart in the middle of the spare tire. <br />
<br />
2. Infiniti M 2012 <br />
<br />
Like the previous generation, Infiniti M37 luxury sport sedan provides exceptional audio quality when equipped with audio system arable by Bose Studio Surround System. By offering 5.1 channel format, 16 speakers are available on the Infiniti M37 is very impressive. Especially when he plays high-fidelity DVD audio. <br />
<br />
Although not known how large the maximum power that can be generated by this system, but for whatever reason, this audio system sounds have never felt the slightest power in various levels of sound. <br />
<br />
3. Volkswagen Jetta GLI 2012<br />
<br />
Starting with the Jetta GLI, Volkswagen released a new premium audio system 400 watts power, which was created with Fender, an American brand known as a manufacturer of Stratocaster guitar than stereo equipment. <br />
<br />
After three years of cooperation between VW Panasonic and Fender, created a system that puts the clarity of sound in different volume ranges. Indeed, this sounds like a strategy of cooperation of sales, but sound cannot lie. <br />
<br />
For the audiophile, this is a new standard in entry-level automotive products that easily surpass Dynaudio premium audio system that has traditionally offered by VW. <br />
<br />
4. Chrysler 300 SRT8 2012<br />
<br />
The redesign in the 300 SRT8 sedan made by Chrysler presents the premium audio system made by Harman Kardon. This system offers the power of 12-channel amplifier, which could burst sound power up to 900 watts. <br />
<br />
Then the power is distributed in 19 speakers, consisting of 7 mid-range 3.5-inch diameter speaker, each of which has an integrated tweeter. This system is supported by 5 conventional subwoofer designs on the rear deck measuring 10 inches. <br />
<br />
The advantage of this system is, the power of audio on the SRT could produce a very strong jolt just like the power of the engine sound that behind the hood of its motor. <br />
<br />
5. Mitsubishi Outlander 2011<br />
<br />
The Mitsubishi usually forgets sUVs Outlander. Therefore, it is a surprise Outlander entry in the list. This vehicle offers an optional package in the form of Rockford Fosgate Punch stereo system 710 watts of power. It is quite phenomenal for a car with a price tag of less than U.S. $ 30 thousand. <br />
<br />
It carry audio system thrusting digital sound processing facilities (DSP) capable of delivering sound with high quality by relying only six speakers, including a diameter of 10-inch subwoofer capable of producing a sound like in luxury cars. <br />
<br />
6. Acura TL 2012<br />
<br />
The sophistication of the Acura ELS audio system are available at all levels of the TL except at the pre-eminent model of the Acura RL which ironically, is still using the old system made by Bose is considered a failure. <br />
<br />
Audio engineer Elliot Scheiner, Grammy-Award winner, designed Acura TL Audio System. The system is equipped with 10 speakers powered 440-watt surround sound quality audio equivalent in the studio. <br />
<br />
This system can accommodate the full 24 bits of digital data with 96 kHz audio commonly found on DVD-A disc format that currently may still hold as a store of sound with the highest quality. <br />
<br />
7. Lexus LS 2011<br />
<br />
Lexus LS is one of the first vehicle to truly implement more advanced audio system in the era of the 90s. Today they continue to be traditions through an audio system 7.1-channel surround sound format the work of Mark Levinson, one of the world's leading audio brands.<br />
<br />
The resulting power system is indeed only 450 watts, far from the powerful category. But this system only has a harmonic distortion of less than 0.1% and use the speakers with a membrane made of metal that could reproduce sound in a frequency range of 20 to 20,000 hertz. Perfect ... <br />
<br />

<br />
Audi A8 luxury sedan packed in a package of audio-tech state-of-the-art. It’s not surprising if the audio system is one of the best according to the experts and audiophile’ connoisseurs. <br />

He has a package offering powerful audio Burmester Audiosysteme GmbH more than 1,000watts, which is distributed in 16 individual operation speakers. This system uses 9.8-inch active subwoofer has a power of 300 watts. <br />
<br />
This package is not a standard facility. Even in model Panamera Turbo S, the owner had to spend up to U.S. $ 3,990 more to redeem Burmester audio system to complement its Bose Surround Sound System. <br />
<br />
Meanwhile, Bose audio itself is also an optional facility for several lower variants, which are also, must be redeemed at U.S. $ 1,440. Wow ... It was too expensive so to spoil our ears ...<br />

While the rear wheel axle, planetary-gear contains a compact 3-speed that is controlled via a conventional cable. <br />
<br />
LCD screen on the handlebar offers the rider with a variety of useful information like: time, distance, cadence, wheel speed and gear selected. Information dynamics of the bike itself is stored in an SD card that can be checked upon completion of driving. <br />
<br />
Unfortunately, no information is available about the comparative performance of the prototype drive system without this chain with the conventional model. Not also given information whether this vehicle will be produced or not. <br />
<br />
A clear goal of this project is to create a bike with a system that is more compact and integrated. Thanks to their creations, the team Alpha Bike maker managed to get a gift Gemmil Award in the event the Senior Design Competition 2011, held by the University.<br />

This vehicle is scheduled to perform at the auto show in Frankfurt, Germany, on September. <br />
<br />
Roadster version has been developed conceptually for SLS AMG, particularly lightweight spaceframe super-rigid body that became the initial focus. Because of these vehicles do not have a roof that one of its functions as a crutch so that the design of the floor should be strengthened. <br />
<br />
In an effort to maintain the character dynamics <br />
<a name='more'></a>and vehicle handling model remains identical to its coupe, roadster SLS is designed with the body more rigid. One part makes the dash cross-member has an additional amplifier in the windshield frame. <br />
<br />
Strengthening carried out also in the middle of the floor (center tunnel) and the structure between <br />
soft-top. Because of its strength, the soft-top can be operated electro hydraulic even at speeds of up 50 km / hour. <br />
<br />
Cross-member in the back seat is also reinforced to strengthen the protection when the vehicle overturned. Here also the sub-woofer powered 250-watt Bang & Olufsen BeoSound type AMG is located in order for the resulting sound is more 'solid'. <br />
<br />
Soft-top or roof is made of soft fabric stored in the back seat, composed of three layers that form a pattern of folds 'Z' to save space. Weight construction made from magnesium / steel / aluminum, provides a low center of gravity and is designed for speeds up to 317 km / hour. <br />
<br />
For the business engine, this vehicle is similar to its <a href="http://car-or-bike.blogspot.com/2010/08/coupe-vs-sedan-whats-difference.html">coupe model</a>, which is water-cooled V8 engine, 6.3-liter capacity that could provide a boost of 563 hp at 6800 rpm and torsion strength up to 650 Nm at 4750 rpm.<br />

This time, Ford uses a digital kid body model to understand the impact a car accident in children.<br />
<br />
This model will be made based on MRI scans<br />
<a name='more'></a>(magnetic resonance imaging) of children used in a computer crash test simulations to see how the impact of accidents that occur in young children. Ford hopes this model will significantly help to reduce the level of injury to children in a car accident.<br />
<br />
Child model project is a continuation of an adult model who has Ford done for more than a decade. As a model digital adult, skull, and vital organs of children will be given serious attention to ensure the protection of safety.<br />
<br />
According to Ford, the technology has been used to create an additional safety device is better. And Ford adds that it continues to explore the potential that still exists.<br />

Starting by the BMW M Division, McLaren, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, even Lumma known as the German tuner companies do not want to lose. So it's not a surprise if the Maserati, the Italian sports car manufacturer makes a bike too.<br />
<br />
For matters of precision, Maserati joined a bicycle maker, Sisilia Montante Cicli to<br />
<a name='more'></a>develop and produce bicycle 8CTF. The name was taken from the name of the famous Maserati racing car and won the Indianapolis 500 miles in the year 1939-1940.<br />

As in the fourth wheel products, Maserati 8CTF have trident logo with a silver background color in the front fork axis which he said was inspired by Maserati dragster supercharger-engined 3.0 liter. Maserati Logo style of the 1930s in the framework was inspired from a metal plate which is used as a marker identifying the chassis car.<br />
<br />
Montante limited edition for Maserati 8CTF bikes available through reservations at Maserati online stores at a price Euro 3600 equivalent to U.S. $ 5,210.<br />

More practical and does not make sore left foot at a time when a traffic jam. <br />
<br />
Automatic transmission has a potential risk of greater damage, because its components are more complex. <br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<iframe align="left" frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=pakbhanublogspot-20&o=1&p=8&l=bpl&asins=B0041HD81G&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="height: 245px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 5px; width: 131px;"></iframe>It’s important for this kind of diligent in early detection of possible damage to these devices. So how to recognize the signs of transmission problems? <br />
<br />
1. Checking the transmission lubricant <br />
<br />
The first step that must be done is to examine the presence or absence or transmission lubricant oil seepage. The trick is open the bonnet and around the transmission-related. When the oil leaks, it means the transmission system problems. <br />
<br />
In addition, you are also advised to check the oil through the indicator stick. When the oil is brown-black and there are fine iron powders, it means that the transmission was problematic. There are indications that show great friction between components.<br />
<br />
2. Perform a test drive <br />
<br />
If it turns out the condition of oil is still good, it does not mean the possibility of a problem no longer exists. Because of that, another step to try is to do a test drive. The trick is moving the transmission from P-R-N-D sequentially starting from stationary position. <br />
<br />
Perform this step slowly on each transition from one position to another. When you feel choked, it means there is a problem in the transmission system. <br />
<br />
3. Listen to the sound transmission <br />
<br />
This method does look trivial and playful. It’s precise enough to detect the presence or absence problem. Previously, make sure the area around the car is not noisy or noisy that you could actually hear it clearly. <br />
<br />
After that, turn on the car without activating the audio equipment and appliances air conditioners (AC). Then, open the hood of the car and listen carefully, is there a buzzing sound like boiling water from teapot spout. <br />
<br />
If there is a voice like that, it means the transmission system problems.<br />

<a name='more'></a>even more so when in the middle of the race, unless you deliberately stop for a drink. While the beverage backpack model, although it is easily accessible but provides the inconvenience. <br />
<br />
For the Shower Pass VelEau 42 offered with the aim to overcome both these problems, namely by placing the backpack-style hydration system that is placed on a bicycle, not the rider. <br />
<br />
Plastic tube reservoir with a capacity of 1.24 liters in VelEau wrapped in nylon bags placed in the rear at the bottom of the saddle. The tube is equipped with plastic hose <br />
polyurethane that is connected to the bottom of the tube. <br />
<br />
The hose is leading to the front along the bicycle frame and attached by bracket to look neat and parallel to the frame so as not to disturb the movement of the rider. While there are hose end section with the rollers nylon binder. <br />
<br />
When it feels thirsty, rider stay grabbed the hose and pulled it toward. After use, the rollers will pull the hose back into position. <br />

</tbody></table><b>Auto Trend</b> - Usually you just accept the various facilities provided by the manufacturer when you buy a new car without wanting to know its benefit. Once the new disaster happens you realize to what various vehicle devices were made. <br />
<br />
For example the headrest designs have been patented since 1923. But the United States Road Transport Association requires all new passenger vehicles have headrests in 1969. Even then, after hundreds of accident-related to neck injury. <br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
The next example is a safety belt. This device is used on the horse carts in the 1850s, but it became standard equipment in the early 1960s on automobiles.<br />
<br />
Based on these matters Popular Mechanic magazine released the 13 cars with the interior of the most dangerous in the history of the following reasons: <br />
<br />
1. Darracq 200HP1905 <br />
This vehicle got speed record in Europe but zero about safety. Small seat with an open body. What if cornering in high speed? Driver can still hold onto the steering wheel, but what about the passengers? <br />
<br />
2. Ford T Model 1908<br />
<br />
Paris scientists, who melt the liquid plastic into a glass, actually already create ‘Safety Glass’ in 1903. He concluded laminated glass would be broken but not scattered. Unfortunately, car manufacturers do not care at that time, including Ford. <br />
<br />
3. Renault 40CV 1922 <br />
<br />
This vehicle is minim in rearview mirror so that the vehicle is very familiar with the 'blind spot'. <br />
<br />
4. Duesenberg Model J 1930<br />
<br />
The vehicle is equipped with small front pillars. The advantage is to make the view becomes more widespread, but very risky when the accident occurred. The reason is the thin pillars are not able to protect the passengers when the car overturned. <br />
<br />
5. Mercury Monterey 1953 <br />
<br />
Many dashboard ornament that completely tapered in the era before the '80s. Even in the era of the '50s a number of cars have the steering wheel hub is tapered like the end of missiles that are ready to injure the driver. Perhaps such trend at the time, but this is very dangerous. <br />
<br />
6. Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing 1955 <br />
<br />
This vehicle is beautiful. It is present before the age of the headrest. It has the form of additional equipment bag leather suitcase placed in the rear above the rear deck. The suitcase tied with leather buckle.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, if the driver forgot to tighten and the accident occurred, it will be thrown forward hitting the back of the driver and passengers. <br />
<br />
7. Ford F-100 1955 <br />
<br />
At first glance this vehicle has been seen only drawbacks with the lack of headrests. While the position of the head itself is very close to the rear glass. Imagine if this vehicle was hit from behind. Head would jerk back and hit the glass. Indeed, new headrests are required starting in 1969. <br />
<br />
8. Dodge Custom Royal 1956<br />
<br />
Sending SMS while driving alone is dangerous, let alone reverse the LPs when cornering using the Dodge Custom Royal 1956. Except when there is co-driver. <br />
<br />
Why Chrysler offers audio device they called a 'high-way hi-fi' as optional on the sedan output facility in 1955 to 1960? <br />
<br />
These objects are also offered on the brands Chrysler, Dodge, Imperial and Plymouth. Though these devices are also highly vulnerable to the risk of needle jumped when the road is not smooth. <br />
<br />
9. Porsche 356 1958 <br />
<br />
Steering wheel made of wood are very popular to enhance the luxury of the vehicle. Similarly to the Porsche 356. Yet it is also very popular vehicle used in track racing. <br />
<br />
The experienced drivers are well aware of the event of an accident, the wood will split and potentially crash the body of the driver who caused his career foundered or even worse. <br />
<br />
Therefore, the drivers swap timber with a metal steering wheel, for reasons at least not potentially penetrate the body's racers. <br />
<br />
10. Saab Gran Turismo 750 1958 <br />
<br />
This vehicle entered of the most dangerous car interior category is related to the safety belt. <br />
<br />
11. Volvo PV 544 1961 <br />
<br />
Volvo is known as the first users of safety belts. But unfortunately the belt is attached to the bench. Indeed, with so passengers will not be thrown out the front window, but there is most likely the driver hit the dashboard because at that time, the rear backrest can be folded forward from the passenger's body weight. <br />
<br />
12. 1961 Lincoln Continental <br />
<br />
Referred to, as 'suicide doors' is a model with a door opening system as a model two-door cabinet. Early in his presence, many do not have a locking system. <br />
<br />
Pressing it down either to open or close does the locking system. Though the door also has a handhold. Imagine if accidentally pressed too hard armrest. This is the most potent inviting disaster recipe. Not to mention the absence of safety belts. <br />
<br />
In addition, the back door with a hinge at the back is very dangerous. If a few open while it is running, the door will immediately slammed by the wind even can be separated. Hence he was nicknamed as suicide doors. <br />
<br />
13. Yugo 1985 <br />
<br />
These vehicles have electrical and heating systems that are very vulnerable. Excessive vibration in the body has the potential to cause short-circuit and fire.<br />

<b>xDdrive35i </b><br />
<br />
xDrive35i version is very full and luxurious. The roof is not only equipped with roof rails, as well as glass that can be opened (shifted) so that the passengers and the driver immediately enjoy the fresh air from outside the car. <br />
<br />
This glass roof can be closed, if the passenger or the driver is not exposed to the scorching sun. Its simply to operate by pressing the button located at the front of the ceiling. <br />
<br />
For infotaiment and communication, xDrive35i is also more complete than xDrive20 Business. In this version, a Bluetooth connection work effectively when linked with Android smartphone and iPod Touch, including to play songs. While Bluetooth for phone, the speaker voice sounded very clear. <br />
<br />
BMW seems to have prepared a place for the gadget trends in the world, iPod and iPhone. Center console, fit for both the Apple’s product. <br />
<b><br />
xDrive20d </b><br />
<br />
Xdrive20d is special diesel version, specialized version of the Business, has only Bluetooth connection facility of communication. This version is not equipped with roof rails and glass roof. But for the xDrive Executive, completeness and feature is the same with xDdrive35i. For entertainment, BMW just install 6 speakers while Executive variants, such as Xdrive35i, using 12 speakers. <br />
<br />
Start-Stop <br />
New features and very functional to improve the efficiency of fuel consumption is "the Start-Stop" which works automatically. When the speed above 10 km / h and then the car stopped, in a few seconds the machine will turn off automatically. On the instrument panel indicators are shown, the engine died.<br />
<br />
For the machine started, simply by pressing the gas pedal. This is the first automatic transmission in combination with the Start-Stop system. Even so the system can also be off by pressing the button on the side. <br />
<br />
Do not worry about the battery runs out or the AC was not functioning when the engine died. So, the temperature increases and energy reserves of the battery down, automatic machines turned on again. In addition, if the speed is always below 10 km/h, the system does not work. <br />
<br />
Explained well, actually X3 already using the mild hybrid system. When the brake is operated, the energy is converted into electricity stored in batteries. <br />
<br />
Options <br />
<br />
xDrive35i using a 6-cylinder gasoline engine capable of producing power and torque 306 rpm PS@5.800 Nm@1.200 400 - 5000 rpm. And using direct injection technology with Valvetronic valve.This version is perfect for those who like speeding because of the steady pull of the machine! <br />
<br />
While xDrive20d, the choice for those considering an economical operating costs. <br />
<br />
Feature that really helps is the electric parking brake (activated and released by pressing the button) "Auto Hold" to prevent the car moving when stopped (including flights).<br />
