Speakers
Upgrading your speakers is one of the best ways to enhance your listening experience in the car. Upgraded car speakers often exhibit better power handling, superior sound reproduction and better construction than factory fitted speakers. This is because the speakers that are fitted to vehicles from the factory are designed, above all, to be cheap, lightweight and efficient. Aftermarket speakers, on the other hand, have no such constraints and are therefore free to develop more capable speakers for those keen to make an investment in enhancing their listening experience.

Frequently Asked Questions
Car speakers are audio transducers that convert electrical energy into acoustic energy and are specially designed for installation into automobiles. They are responsible for reproducing sound within the vehicle cabin, allowing occupants to enjoy music, podcasts, or other audio content while driving. Car interior speakers come in various types, such as tweeters, midranges, woofers, and subwoofers, and they are typically integrated into the vehicle’s dashboard, sail panels, doors and/or rear shelf or, in the case of a subwoofer, under the front seats or in the boot.
The main difference between car speakers and normal speakers lies in their design and intended use. Car speakers are engineered to withstand the unique challenges of the automotive environment, including vibrations, temperature fluctuations, and limited space. They are often more compact, durable, and optimized for operation in a wider range of enclosure volumes and for placement into a vehicle’s factory speaker locations. Car speakers are also typically engineered with an input impedance that is half that of traditional speakers, which allows them to operate more efficiently from a lower voltage amplifier. On the other hand, normal speakers are designed for use in homes or studios, where conditions are more stable and space constraints are less of a concern.
Speaker sizes refer to the physical dimensions of a speaker unit, typically measured from the centre of the speaker surround in inches. In the case of car speakers, the size usually refers to the diameter of the speaker cone or the mounting hole required for installation. The most common car speaker sizes include 6/6.5-inches, 5.25-inches and 6x9-inches, although other sizes including 3-inches and 4-inches are also available. There are also an increasing number of vehicle specific speakers available for later model cars, providing a perfect fit solution for swapping out your factory speakers with something a bit more capable.
The best way to determine which speaker size fits your car is to do a bit of googling in order to draw on the experience of others who have already done the hardwork. Alternatively, you can check the existing speakers (if any), or get in touch with a specialist car audio retailer with the necessary knowledge and skills, like us here at Automotive Superstore, who will be more than happy to provide relevant compatibility information for your particular vehicle.
