Top 15 car speakers

The large texture of the fiberglass from which the diffuser is made, clearly "mows" under the carbon. However, the diffuser has a decent balance of stiffness and mass, it provides decent linearity on the bottoms and clearly details the middle. In addition, the sensitivity of 90 dB is enough that these speakers "come to life" even with not the most pretentious radio tape recorder.

Tweeters have a swivel base, which allows you to edit the orientation, lifting the left to itself and allowing the right. They have aluminum diffusers, and this is noticeable by the sound: the “tall” ones are noticeably muffled when compared with silk. But in general, this kit starts to sound already in a practically unprepared machine, which is good news when there is an urgent need for installation.

At an affordable price, you get a two-way coaxial speaker system with excellent performance. The one-inch tweeter is rotated at a 20 ° angle for the best possible setting and a comfortable sound for listeners. A soft dome and a low resonance level allow the tweeter to reproduce a wider range of frequencies. The bass diffuser is made of polypropylene and cellulose. The external crossover with a frequency of 4 kHz section is hidden in a compact package. The built-in attenuator allows you to mute the RF level by 3 dB if necessary.

Well, now we have a representative of the class “where it’s cheaper”. Alas, not every budget Focal able to fit, but not to put the same Prology, right? With a decent sensitivity of 93 dB, the “dates” have a very solid magnet, a carbon fiber diffuser, and tweeters have attenuator buttons, which allow to reduce the RF level by 3 dB.

As a result, despite the not so high price, these speakers noticeably outperform the options from the 1500-2000 price segment, work the bass well, draw the “middle”. Attenuator allows you to compensate for the fact that the right speaker is significantly louder playing high frequencies in the driver's ear, if your head unit does not allow you to adjust the spectral composition of the sound through the channels. Although, who will connect inexpensive coaxial acoustics to such a “head”?

Three-band coaxial speakers with a rated power of 35 W from the world leader in the production of automotive electronics Pioneer. Withstand a peak load of 180W. The widespread 13-centimeter column size allows it to be used in most cars. Reproducible frequency range 40 - 26000 Hz completely satisfy an unbiased listener. Of course, music lovers will find a bunch of flaws with these speakers (lack of bass, bass tweaking), but if you need inexpensive good speakers just to listen to music in the car - pay attention to this model.

Here you will have to tinker with the installation: a three-band kit, except for the 60-millimeter silk ... no, not a tweeter, but a mid-frequency! - it also includes a swiveling 20mm “real” tweeter, also having a silk diffuser. This configuration clearly promises us that the midbass performs exactly the function set by the name, that is, it gives out "medium-low" frequencies without the compromises that would be needed to play the "upper middle". The diffuser, by the way, is in the midbass paper, but impregnated, so it will live a normal life in our climate, although it is produced in a much drier and hotter Israel.

And do we want to tell you about this kit? With a regular crossover, it really opens up at its best, so we can live as it sounds. Neither the midbass nor the mid-range by ear have any pronounced directionality in the bands given by the crossover, tweeters give the necessary air to the scene. The detailing of the sound is undoubtedly the most cymes of Morel Virtus 603, which is not surprising for a combination of cellulose and silk.

However, there is also a fly in the ointment: the sensitivity of this set is lower than that of the Hertz, and with the same sound pressure distortion at LF is twice as large. In the middle lane - as many as three! Oh, but on the other hand, the price difference makes me doubt, it’s better to choose.

A highly sensitive two-way set of 16-cm mid-band with a composite diffuser and a 20-mm tweeter is bright and expensive, but perhaps it deserves only the third place in the ranking of the best car acoustics. First of all, due to the specific color of the sound: behind a practically even part in the range of 200-2000 Hz, the sound begins to gain direction, behind a small “hump” at 2500 Hz there is a sharp and narrow peak by as much as 5 dB in the region of 4 kHz.At the same tweeter sound equal to 2-5 kHz, then the frequency response rises slightly. Crossover cutoff frequency - fixed, 4.7 kHz. As a result, the sound in space acquires a clear accent, clearly distinguishable by the driver’s left ear. And not everyone will like it.

However, if we abstract from this nuance, then the Focal 165 KRX2 really deserves attention: having a good drawing of the sound in the nuances, the speakers decently work out at a high volume.

Reliable midbass grills - this is a serious plus, if you compare the Hertz with almost similar in price Audio System. Their diffuser is made of impregnated cellulose and very structurally resembles the V-Cone Hertz professional series. Add to this the sensitivity of 4 dB above, and here we have a serious competitor in place at your door.

However, tweeters are simpler here - they have a tetolin, rather than a silk diffuser, and their sound character is very much dependent on the location. In the bottom, obviously, rassiness is added, tweeters obviously need to be raised up. But in this case the tetolon already noticeably loses to silk: somewhere the sound is too harsh, somewhere, on the contrary, it is muffled. Midbass also acquires a pronounced direction of sound already at 600-700 Hz, where in addition there is a clear failure response. Next comes the hump from 1 to 2 kHz, and again there is a noticeable dip to 4 kHz. Therefore, this kit is clearly not suitable for any tastes: the sound of it has its own character, and it is better to listen to the speakers before buying. However, keep in mind that they are played out tangibly, the sound is sharper on the new ones and gives the synthetics strange to the cellulose diffuser.

The cheapest kit in the rating is lower in sensitivity and power than other participants in the rating of the best component car acoustics.The midbass has a polypropylene diffuser, and the magnet is a regular ferrite, not a neodymium. This gives a noticeable loss in sound ... if you spend a certain amount on preparing a car. Otherwise, the SPG-17CS more than acceptable for installation in the door with a minimum of "Shumkov".

Tweeters - small, with 20-mm cones, and from silk. This is quite reasonable: all the same, when installed in the front of a car, acoustics sound precisely with high frequencies, the bottom and middle are covered with rear speakers. Adding to this set an acoustic shelf with two “pancakes” or a subwoofer will really not be superfluous: although the manufacturer has declared the lower limit of the frequency response as much as 68 Hz, in reality, without a cut, at least 150 midbass will quickly start wheezing, so you need to limit sound, compensating for the frequency failure of the rear hemisphere.

This is a set of two-way component speakers 16 cm in size from the Israeli brand Morel. The package includes a pair of tweeters, two crossovers, main speakers with a grid, additional bowls for tweeters and an installation kit. The rated power of the AU is 120W, and without mechanical damage the system will withstand 280W of maximum power. Landing depth - 62mm. The kit is well assembled and made of quality materials, which, together with the technical characteristics, leads to a comfortable, detailed sound, both at low and high frequencies.

These speakers can be seen in almost every store, and for the prevalence is to put them a plus sign. By close examination, by the way, it turns out that they are quite three-way: in addition to the immediately noticeable tweeter in the center, there is also a piezo squeezer on the side, responsible for the very top of the spectrum.

Yes, the upper frequencies here, perhaps, are in fact more noticeable in the general spectrum than that of the Morel, but they also have some plastic taste. Such speakers are suitable for electronics rather than instrumental music.

The sound has a tangible direction from 500 Hz - the driver will get first extra low frequencies, then the rear passengers will hear both the “middle” and “top”.Bass capabilities are very good here: the frequency response is perfectly flat from 90 to 250 Hz, and the volume margin is sufficient for fans to turn the volume up.

Here on the frequency response is already walking, that notice both the driver and the passenger. "Disagreement" reaches 5 dB, and the curve rises and falls several times.

More expensive is not always better. “Ovals” from Polk Audio with a good sensitivity have an obvious blockage at frequencies below 100 Hz, the frequency response itself at the low frequencies is not as smooth as that of Alpine. But double tweeter (with different diameters of diffusers, but both are full-fledged domes) really gives the “top”, noticeable not only to rear passengers.

Another thing is that here the frequency response is far from linear: there are two serious "humps" in the region of 2-3 kHz and 7-10 kHz, and the first driver is the most audible. That is, the sound is accentuated again, and you may have to tinker with the equalizer to suit your tastes - and he, anyway, instead of some humps, will unwittingly add others.
