It’s common for someone to ask “Which speakers would be right for me?” Well, putting together a car audio system can require a lot of thought, or it can be something that’s decided on a whim. There’s a few questions you should ask yourself before picking out the next car speakers for your ride, and to help make the best decision you should consider the most popular questions asked. So first, find out what size speakers your vehicle has installed, and follow this guide to finding the perfect car speakers.
A commonly asked questioned is “Will I need an amplifier?” The short answer to this question is do you want to have an amplifier? A lot of speakers on the market can be used as direct factory replacements. Make sure each speaker requires no more than 50 watts of power handling and these will work right off of your factory stereo. A common factory replacement that doesn’t require amplification is the Boston Acoustics S65 speakers. If you’re looking for a more fully staged audio experience with better volume and voice you might want to consider finding an amplifier. In this case, match up the amplifiers power rating with your speakers RMS power rating. This way you can get the best possible continual performance from your speakers. Component style speakers, like the Vibe Audio SPACE 5 speakers will usually always require an amplifier since there’s separate components to power.
“Will I need a soft-dome tweeter, or a metallic dome tweeter?” This question is common when searching through speakers and this can really only be defined by personal preference. Soft dome tweeters like Silk found on the RE Audio RE65FR speakers, and Cloth will produce a crisp listening experience. Metallic tweeters can be considered “brighter” and will produce louder volumes with less power. Metallic tweeters are popular on Boats, Motorcycles, and other environments where a lot of outside noise is present and needs to be drowned out.
After considering your amplification options and what style of speaker you want. It’s about finding the correct speaker by different manufactures. Keep in mind each manufacturer has tried to develop their own sound so they can stand out and create brand loyalty.
