Which are the Best Pro Audio Car Speakers?

With some new speakers, it is possible to put some life back into the music. With the pro car audio speakers of nearly all kinds, shapes and size, it can be a bit difficult to choose the right kind for you. However, there are a few key factors that you need to bear in mind when searching for the perfect speaker for your car.

Sensitivity

This is a measure of the amount of sound that is yielded by a speaker in relation to the amount of power applied. Most car stereos are low-powered such as 15 watts RMS like many that are installed in the factory.

Power-handling

This is the amount of power that a speaker is able to handle. In case the system is low-powered, there will be no need for the speaker to handle a lot of power. However, when the system comes with the powerful external amps, there will be a need for a speaker with a power-handling that is close to the amps’ output.

Material of the Speaker

The material design of the speaker is what will determine the sound quality as well as the durability.

Material of the Woofer

In order to produce a low note for the music, the component or full-range speaker should be made of a stiff but lightweight material. In most cases, synthetic films are used to make most of the woofers of the car speakers.  A good example of a material that is quite stiff is polypropylene especially when mixed with another material such as mica. This is also able to yield a bass response that is more accurate. Some of the lightweight but strong materials include woven fabrics as well as synthetics that is coated with a material such as titanium or aluminum. These are also good for providing that excellent response.

Material of the Tweeter

This will greatly impact the effect of sound that is produced. In general , when a tweeter is made using a soft material such as textile lends, ploy or even silk, this will produce a sound that is not only refined but it also kind of mellow. In case you prefer the high bright & snappy, choose a hard material such as metal, graphite and ceramic.

The surrounding material

This is one of the parts of the woofer that play a key role. It is good for making the woofer cone to move in a free manner and also emit some bolder bass. This should be durable in a manner that allows it to withstand the humidity as well as temperature extremes. When the surrounding is made of rubber, it will also be a great choice for a better overall performance as well as longevity. Cloth and foam surrounds usually cost less but they perform better.
