The Thunderbird has been an icon of motorcycling since it was first unleashed on the world by Triumph. You may think of the Ford Thunderbird when you hear that name, but it was Triumph who licensed the name to the American auto company for use on their new 1955 ‘personal luxury car’ coupe.
The first Triumph model designated ‘Thunderbird’ was produced in 1949; it was called the Thunderbird 6T and was powered by a 649c.c. engine. This model run lasted until 1966. In 1981, the Thunderbird TR65 began production with an identically sized, but vastly different, engine. The 885c.c. Thunderbird of 1994 was more in tune with the original purpose of lead designer Edward Turner, who developed the bike mostly for the American market. If that model was up to the task, then the Thunderbird Sport took it to a new level in 1997; 82hp and 56ft/lb of torque originated from the triple 885c.c. engine – more than enough to make it a quality sport/tour motorcycle.

Though many drivers are perfectly satisfied with their factory speakers, the rest are seeking better ways to achieve bigger sound. The world of car audio is very large and if you are not familiar with it, it may appear to be confusing. There are a lot of options available when selecting the right car audio system for your car. Newcomers may want to do some careful research first because selecting the wrong system for your car or personal preference may result in a product that you have to return.
Start by getting acquainted with the various parts and components of a speaker system. Tweeters, subwoofers and amplifiers are the main components that you will find. Tweeters are great for perfecting the higher sounds while amps and subwoofers are designed to improve the quality of the bass. Not every car will need all of these parts just to have a nice sound. Larger vehicles may require more speakers than a small one. Determine what you need based on the size and shape of your car as well as your personal preference. Getting the right system may require professional assistance. Do not be afraid to ask for help. Continue reading ‘Choosing Car Audio’ »
