The Five Most Common Mistakes When Buying Car Speakers
by: Ross McIver
When it comes time to buying replacement speakers for a car audio system, there are several mistakes which are commonly made.
Be sure to read this handy guide to avoid the five most common mistakes when buying car speakers.
1. Plan your budget.
Are you revamping your entire audio system?
If so you need to allocate money to different parts of the system.
If you are just changing the speakers, decide how much money you want to spend on them before seeing what is available.
This will allow you to keep costs within a reasonable range.
2. Consider how much you are willing to modify your car.
Some speaker systems require extensive modification.
This is an extra cost which must be factored into your budget, and also may affect the resale value of the car if you decide you want to try and keep the audio system.
3. What do you use your car for?
If you travel extensively and are on the road almost every day, you should probably splurge and buy the best quality speakers you can afford.
After all, your car is like a second home, and anything you can do to make it more comfortable will enhance your working life.
On the other hand, if you only use the car to go to the grocery store and most of the time it sits on the driveway, it's a bit of a waste to go for high-end car speakers.
4. How long are you going to keep your car?
If you plan on using the same car for two years or more, it makes sense to buy good-quality speakers.
If you're going to sell the car next month and are simpler looking for a upgrade to the audio system to make it easier to sell, keep your car speaker budget to a minimum.
5. What kind of music you listen to?
This will have a big influence on the type of car audio system that you have.
If you like to listen to strong, bass-heavy music, you should get powerful amplifiers and ample subwoofers.
On the other hand, if your music tastes run to classical or pop, you want a speaker system which can reproduce the entire audio spectrum evenly.

A Guide to VoIP
by: James Rogers
What is VoIP? Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is the ability to transmit voice over the Internet to either a receiving computer, telephone or even a mobile phone. VoIP phone is becoming the popular worldwide telephone service for both consumer and the business communities. VoIP works by using a network technology known as Packet Switching Network whereas landline telephones use the Circuit Switching Network. This is referred to as the Public Switched Telephone Network.
What's the difference between VoIP normal phones?
The main difference between Packet Switching and Circuit Switching, is that Packet Switching uses (data) or Packets and sends them over the Internet while Circuit Switching is accomplished by using electrical circuits to make a telephone connection.

Top Nine Characteristics of Great Speakers
Top Nine Characteristics of Great Speakers
by: Paul Evans
1. Solid Content.
Even a person lacking charismatic gifts can develop solid content. Always share something the audience finds valuable to their lives.
2. Humorous. It's hard to hate someone you laugh with. The best speakers find a way to get people smiling early in the program. It opens hearts and makes the group receptive. You don't have to be hilarious, just humorous.
3. Organized. There's no excuse for rambling through a presentation. Have your notes structured in way that keeps you on pace and on target. Listeners should feel they received a message that made sense and was easy to remember.
4. Approachable. Some speakers try to get in and get out as fast as possible, but the audience likes to know the speaker is available an approachable. One of the best ways to make a good impression is to get to the event early and meet people as they come in.

Keep Your Audience Awake!
Keep Your Audience Awake!
by: Emily Sanders
The smartest course for a speaker to follow is the rule that a straight line is the shortest distance between two points. The best way of developing a speech is to focus on the one theme or thought behind the talk and drive relentlessly towards it. One of the reasons why this is a winning strategy is because most audience members cannot concentrate for the duration of a speech because of a number of distraction ? such as other attendees, noise and most importantly the thoughts in his/her head. A speaker should not only ensure that his/her speech is clear and easy to follow, the speaker should also ensure that breaks are provided during the speech.
Many speakers have started injecting break sessions or even mini exercise sessions during long speech to ensure they keep the audience alert at all times. Promoting interaction with other audience members is another excellent way to maintain your audience?s...

Effectively Delivering Your Message
Effectively Delivering Your Message
by: Bill Knell
Whether you?re preaching a sermon, trying to sell something or wanting to nail down that presentation, delivery is everything. The best way to successfully deliver any message is to keep it fresh, keep it short, keep it simple and keep it fun.
When I started developing my first slide show years ago, I paused to reflect on what was right or wrong with most presentations. Placing one slide up on the screen and talking for an hour was something I didn?t want to do. I had seen that same mistake made over and over in high school and college. The only things more boring then bad slide presentations are chalk talks and object lessons.
People new to speaking often depend on gimmicks. They often feel more comfortable using chalk board, an overhead projector, audience giveaways or something they can hold in their hand or place on a lectern for people to focus on. While these kinds of things can...
