Different types of car speaker system
There are different types of speakers out on the market today. Finding out what you exactly need may save you some money, but more significantly, improve the sound system of your car. Coaxial car speakers are the most common. Factory installed audio system usually install at least two pairs of this type in new vehicles. It’s basically a midrange cone woofer with at least one tweeter mounted right on top of it. The result is a low to midrange sound reproduction from the midwifery, as well as having high frequency reproduction from the tweeter. Coaxial speakers are normally described as 2-way, 3-way, 4-way, etc. car speakers. Simply a 2-way is one woofer with one tweeter attached to it. A 3-way adds another tweeter, and so on and so forth. A typical non-tweeter speaker will pick up around 15-10000 Hz (remember low frequency means more bass).
A component system typically includes midrange woofers, separate tweeters, and crossover filter networks. It would function the same exact way as the coaxially mounted tweeters, except for the crossover filter networks. These filters improve sound quality significantly by channeling only audio signals the different components could physically handle. Component systems tend to be significantly more costly but with much improved sound reproduction.
The material of the woofer or the tweeter plays a significant role primarily in their longevity. Sound quality is only as good as the entire construction (i.e. voice coil type, magnet size, etc.). Though denser cones (Kevlar, glass fiber, polypropylene) tend to produce better sound quality than thinner materials (cloth, paper), understand that it takes the whole construction to produce great sound so don’t dismiss a set of car speakers just because it has thinner cone material. Heavier or denser cone materials last longer, especially helpful with constant high-power outputs. Just like cone material, surround material plays a significant role in the longevity of your car speakers as well. In its most simple explanation, a cone must move up and down as it produces sound.
So, car audio speakers come in so many varieties, for every brand and type of car. There are possibilities for every car and every listener. Whether you like hard rock, classical, or just talk radio, there are car speakers that can optimize your listening experience. It should keep in mind two important factors when thinking of purchasing new car audio speakers. You will need to know a bit about your car stereo in terms of its power output. This is because the car stereo power can directly affect speaker sensitivity and power handling. If a car stereo has high power output, you will need lower sensitivity car speakers with higher power handling. If a car stereo has low power output, you will need higher sensitivity speakers with lower power handling needs. This can seem a bit confusing to understand at first, but just try to get a good grasp on the car stereo power and then you can figure out your speaker needs from there without worries.
