Installing Car Stereo

First, I did some research online to get a basic understanding of the different components of a car audio system. I learned about the different types of car stereos, including single DIN and double DIN units, and how they are installed in a car.

Next, I learned about tweeters and how they are used to produce high-frequency sound. I learned about the different types of tweeters, such as dome and horn tweeters, and how they affect the overall sound quality.

I also learned about subwoofers and how they are used to produce low-frequency sound. I learned about the different types of subwoofers, such as sealed and ported subwoofers, and how they affect the overall sound quality.

Finally, I learned about amplifiers and how they are used to power car audio systems. I learned about the different types of amplifiers, such as Class A, B, AB, and D amplifiers, and how they affect the overall sound quality.

I also learned about the different ways of connecting audio components together and how to properly wire them.

Overall, it was a lot of information to take in, but I enjoyed learning about it and I’m excited to put my new knowledge to use when I upgrade my car audio system.

Critical Thinking

Learning about car audio required me to use my critical thinking skills in several ways. One example is when I had to evaluate different types of car stereos, tweeters, subwoofers, and amplifiers and compare their features and specifications to determine which one would be the best fit for my specific needs and preferences. Additionally, I had to consider how each component would work with the other components of the system, and how they would all work together to produce the best overall sound quality. Additionally, when researching online, I had to filter through a lot of information, both accurate and inaccurate, and use my critical thinking skills to determine which information was accurate, and useful to my learning. All of this helped me to understand the complex nature of car audio systems and make informed decisions.

Critical Thinking

In this course I showed my critical thinking skills by fixing the carburetor on my small engine. When my partner and I started up our engine, we realized that our engine had been on full idle, full idle means that the engine is running at full speed while at idle. We realized our engine was stuck at full idle because we would start our engine, and we would be unable to make it go faster because it was already at its fastest. We realized this quickly with some help from Mr. Kent, and my partner and I quickly solved the problem so our engine could run regularly.

This picture above is a picture of the valve that was responsible for making our engine run at full idle.

The picture above is a picture of the governor which is how Mr. Kent and my group realized what was happening because it wasn’t moving.

The picture above is the top part of the engine, we thought our engine was on full idle because we thought the spark plug was stopping the springs from moving but Mr. Kent helped us realize and explained that wasn’t the case.

Reflecting on Working with Others at our Desks

I found working with others at our desks is the most helpful because we can help each other and verify answers without the help of a teacher.

Work Representing Artifact

I felt like this because it is at the end of the day and I’m more tired.

Core Competency

Critical Thinking

I chose critical thinking because you need to think about many things when doing more complicated math problems, and also, being able to think critically can help with the ability to do math.

I show how I can think critically in this class because when given work, I was able to finish the work quickly without errors.
