Nothing beats the feeling of having a weekend drive in your premium car with your favorite track playing in the background. Sounds like the perfect beginning for a fabulous weekend. Isn't it? Then why let it remain just as a head trip with distorted low-quality audio? To listen to your favorite audio with the best possible sound quality you’ll have to choose the speakers that suit your needs over the built-in car speakers. Read ahead to know the best speakers that will work for your needs exactly.
For your car, you can either go for Coaxial (full range) speakers or for Component speakers, as per your needs. Let’s know the various types of car speakers better.
Component speaker system works with a number of different components that may be put in various spots throughout your vehicle, hence the installation can be a bit tricky and you may need technical assistance from an experienced provider of car audio upgrades like Car planet. The significant difficulty comes from the need for separate speakers for the bass, midrange, and high frequencies, as well as external crossovers, to manage the signals. Though a costly upgrade, they offer excellent sound quality and are apt for customization. There are a few various sorts of component speakers to pick from, each with its own purpose.
A subwoofer is a kind of speaker which is typically installed beneath the seats, or in the trunk of your vehicle. It produces sound in the lowest of the frequencies possible, often between 20 and 200 Hz (Hertz). This bass gives your song more depth and magnitude.
Deep sounds in the mid-to-low-bass frequencies, such as bass drumming and lower octave vocals, are reproduced by these adaptable speakers. They come in sizes ranging from 6.5 to 8 inches and are used in both component and full-range systems.
Midrange speakers align the middle-region frequencies in your music, usually in the range of 250-2000 Hz. These provide the "mid-scoop" and clarity, hence the main source of sound detail and clarity of your system. They usually come in circular shape with a length between 3.5 and 6.5 inches which makes them suitable to install in your car's doors.
Tweeters produce the highest sound frequencies which range from 2000 to 20,000 Hz. Though the smallest speakers in your system, they give the greatest definition for voices in your music. They are often mounted higher in the vehicle and come in sizes ranging from 0.5 to 1.5 inches.
The super-tweeters are for true audiophiles since they offer solutions for the tweeter malfunction/distortion caused by ultra-high frequencies. Super-tweeters are significantly smaller than a standard tweeter and can produce and boost high frequencies in the 20 kHz range and above.
Component speakers come with assured sound quality as they are created specifically for bass, midrange, or high frequencies. Since they're distinct speakers, a variety of stereo-imaging possibilities can be achieved by placing them wherever needed offering greater amplitude, quality, and clarity, as well as an immersive audio quality.
The specialized nature of component speakers makes it necessary to build it from higher-quality materials, making them more expensive. The cost of individual components is also high. The need for a separate amplifier that's tailored to your speaker's power requirements cannot be ignored, multiple amplifiers are also needed sometimes.
The highly customizable nature of Component speakers offers practically unlimited possibilities for component installations. You can add as many subwoofers, tweeters, and mid-range speakers as you want and mount them wherever you please with whichever power range you choose to get the output you desire and can customize where they go in your automobile to create your musical experience as hypnotic as possible.
Coaxial speakers are speakers that contain the entire range of sound in a single unit. Most automobile manufacturers' basic speaker systems include coaxial arrangements. Generally, they are made up of various-sized woofers with a tweeter attached to the top or on a pole that runs through the center.
Coaxials don't need an additional amplifier. It comes with a choice of band configurations and it never requires a complicated process of installation. Unlike the component speakers, they have lower build material quality which explains the affordability of coaxials. They lack customization options and offer only average sound quality with respect to the component speakers.PRa
Most coaxials come in the 2-band range; which are speakers with a built-in subwoofer. The most popular 2-band coaxial arrangement comes with a woofer and a tweeter, while lows and mids are handled by the bigger speaker and highs will be handled by the tweeter.
Unlike the 2-band coaxial, a midrange speaker is included in the 3-band coaxials, which offers an added depth to your audio.
The 4-band coaxial is a significant upgrade for hardcore audiophiles. You receive a super-tweeter in addition to the bass woofer, mid-range speaker, and tweeter. And hence, it is the most integrated coaxial model on the market.
The sound quality decreases in coaxials as a result of combining all of these disparate components into one box. The tweeters attached to the speaker limits the spacing of frequencies and the proximity of the drivers to the coaxial speakers also demands compromise over the sound quality. The blending of multiple frequencies together at close range occasionally results in "muddiness."
Coaxials offer better affordability since the components are all incorporated into one speaker, making it easier and less expensive to produce though at the cost of efficiency of the entire configuration. However, having the option of 2-band, 3-band, or 4-band allows you to simply select the speaker that best suits your needs and budget.
Compared to the component speakers, coaxial networks save your budget because of their ease of installation. The installation process is much faster and easier with coaxials. They're the best choice if you only want to replace your car's OEM speakers. They are available in different sizes and power ratings, which you can readily install in your car's stock speaker placements even by yourself. The operation of these is also a cakewalk since it has a single input connection. They normally work great with your car's built-in amplifier and there is no need for additional amplifiers.
The type of speaker system you select is entirely dependent on your unique requirements and musical preferences. Coaxial speakers will not suffice if you are a bass head who enjoys listening to loud dance music. To get the low frequencies you want, you'll need separate, programmable subwoofers. If you're not a big music fan and just want to listen to some background music, full-range coaxials are the way to go. They're simple to install and affordable.
