Eclipse is a subdivision of Fujitsu Ten and manufactures a line of audio products for the car. When you buy an Eclipse system, you are buying multiple components that can produce high-quality sound. Eclipse has a large range of systems and produces both affordable products as well as expensive, high-tech items. You can buy Eclipse sound systems both online and offline.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Money
  • Computer with Internet
  1. Step 1

    Find a dealer that retails car sound systems from Eclipse. Electronics stores, as well as car audio shops, are a good place to start looking. You can also choose to buy the Eclipse system through online electronics retailers. A few examples of sellers you can use are Sonic Electronix and Sound Domain.

  2. Step 2

    Choose the receiver that you want for your sound system. Choices include the CD1200, CD3200 and CD7200. Some features of these USB-enabled receivers are iPod compatibility, built-in Bluetooth, removable faceplates and an illuminated front panel.

  3. Step 3

    Select your Eclipse car amplifier. The amplifiers range from single channels to as many as five channels. They work with the subwoofer of your system in order to provide the best sound possible.

  4. Step 4

    Upgrade with a set of aftermarket speakers from Eclipse. You'll need to know the current size of your OEM speakers in order to figure out what size to order. Some examples of Eclipse speaker sizes are 4 inch, 5 ¼ inch and 6 inch.

  5. Step 5

    Decide if you want to add subwoofers to your car system. Subwoofers are a type of audio product that allow for extra bass to play through your vehicle's sound system. Eclipse manufactures both 10-inch and 12-inch subwoofers. The 12-inch version is standard, while the 10-inch type is used when a limited amount of space is available.

Tips & Warnings
  • Before you buy an Eclipse sound system, make sure you review installation fees charged by the retailer.
