Car speakers

Car speakers are used for listening to music, voice messages and warnings, and hands-free calling.

Types of car speakers

By operating principle:

• Wide-range. They cover a wide frequency range from 16 to 16,000 Hz. These devices are characterised by high sensitivity so they are ideal for low-power equipment. They are often a part of a car’s standard equipment. However, sound distortions might occur at high or low frequencies.
• Coaxial. They are made in the form of several speaker drivers enclosed in one box and located along one axis. Each of them has its own frequency range. Together they enhance the quality of sound. Recommended to be installed in the rear part of the passenger compartment.
• Component. Each speaker delivers its own frequency range. High fidelity, expensive. Difficult to install. Can be located in different parts of the cabin.

By frequency range and sound volume:

• High-frequency (tweeters): 90–93 dB. Frequency range: from 2 to 20‒30 kHz.
• Mid-range: 89–93 dB. Their frequency range is 300‒7,000 Hz.
• Low-frequency (woofers): 86‒90 dB. For reproducing sounds in the range from 40 to 1,000 Hz.
• Subwoofers: 91–93 dB. Reproduce bass in the 25‒600 Hz range.

Operating instructions for car speakers

• Have your equipment installed by professionals. Mounting errors might cause the equipment to fail quickly. For example, due to the risk of demagnetization, the magnet must by no means get in touch with metal body parts.
• Replace and maintain the door seals on time. Moisture that builds up on door sills often causes car speakers to fail.
• Do not play music at its maximum volume until your car interior warms up. Under low temperatures, the rubber surround of the speaker driver becomes hard and condensation builds up inside the device. You also shouldn’t turn on music too loud with the bass boosted as this overloads the appliance.
• Keep your cabin clean to cut the risk of contamination and failure.
