Do you love to listen to music or talk radio in the car? Do you have particularly long commutes? Many people consider their car their "home away from home" and it makes sense that there would be so many options available for car audio speakers. The quality of speakers can truly make a difference in the entire experience of your car ride.
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.
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 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.
Depending on how fancy you want to get, there are full range car audio speaker packages that provide you everything you need in one place. With full range speakers you will know you are getting parts that work well together and can maximize your speaker and stereo output. Full range speakers come with built in woofers to emphasize lower notes, voices, and instruments and tweeters that emphasize the higher notes and sounds. Some full range speakers will come with options like midrange enhancers or a supertweeter! This will help you really tweak all the aspects of your sound. Keep in mind that full range speakers are the easiest option to install and can be found inexpensively, as they often are made to fit right into factory specs.
On the other hand, you might be interested in completely customizing your sounds experience with different components that you hand pick for optimization. This is also possible with car audio speakers. You can buy each speaker separately and possibly get even better sound than with a full range speaker system. For this customization you will most likely end up paying more money, but on the other hand, you can make your investment over time, so it may not really be a financial consideration. Component systems have separate woofers, tweeters, and what are called external crossovers that can direct the sound to the appropriate components for the best sound quality possible. Component systems are definitely the way to go if you want the ultimate in car audio speakers.
