Cars are not always equipped with good audio systems. In addition, quite often the speakers are installed incorrectly, therefore they cannot provide a decent sound quality.

Let's see what kind of audio systems there are at all. Indeed, in the first place, attention should be paid not even to the brand of the speakers and not to the model, but to the type of acoustics. It must meet your needs and technical features of the car.

High quality speaker system

Types of speaker systems

Today, the equipment that provides auto sound is divided into two main types:

• Component;
• Coaxial.

Modern drivers give greater preference to component systems, because they consider them more advanced. Coaxial installations are a thing of the past, as they are not capable of providing really high-quality sound.

Component system

Such car audio consists of speakers placed separately from each other. If you correctly install the speakers in the cabin, you can achieve the effect of "presence" (that is, it will be possible to distinguish the game of individual instruments). Even if you buy a not too expensive audio system, it can provide a fairly high-quality sound of music in the cabin.

The simplest component acoustics consists of two low-mid-range speakers (midbass) and two high-frequency speakers (pishchalki). More expensive kits are equipped with additional large subwoofers (they are called subwoofers). There may be several, but there are speakers with one subwoofer.

In the case of a component system, the speakers are set separately.

Coaxial system

Such systems are distinguished by the fact that all the speakers are arranged in one column. The simplest of them consist of just one big speaker. Small speakers are fixed in front of its diffuser. The main advantage of coaxial audio systems is the simplicity of their installation. Also buyers are attracted by their low cost.

Acoustics of this type is becoming less and less popular. It is mainly used by those motorists for whom the sound quality is not so important. Most often, coaxial systems can be found in the salons of trucks, minibuses, low-cost "cars".

Speaker sizes

When choosing a speaker system, you must pay particular attention not to the form, but to the size of the speakers. Usually in cars there are regular places intended for loudspeakers of such sizes:

• 10, 13 and 16 cm (for round);
• 15x23 cm (for oval).

The larger the diameter of the speaker - the better it will reproduce low frequencies. Front loudspeakers qualitatively reproduce sounds from only 80 hertz, 13-centimeter - from 100 hertz, 10-centimeter - from 120 hertz. Therefore, if there is no subwoofer, it is better to install the front acoustics of sizes 16/17. If the subwoofer is present, then you can do with 13-centimeter speakers. When choosing a subwoofer, give preference to sizes ranging from 20-40.

The secrets of proper installation

Sound quality is also affected by the correct installation of the speaker system. For example, midbass harmful strong vibrations. Therefore, they should be firmly fixed to ensure good sound. If you carry out installation of the speaker in the doors of the machine - in advance, take care of vibration and noise insulation. This will get rid of the rattling and achieve high-quality bass sound at high volume. When installing the speakers in the rear area of ​​the car, you must leave a space between them and the subwoofers.

The best option for placing the system elements is midbass on the rear doors, subwoofers in the trunk. Mid-range dynamics and “tweeters” are best positioned in front of the car. Installation of the rear speakers is recommended to refuse. To ensure high-quality sound in the cabin just two front speakers and “tweeters”, located in the front racks.

We also advise you to install “tweeters” closer to the midbass. But in most cases, this will have to redraw the trim. In such a situation, you can connect high-frequency speakers near the mirrors, in the lower zone of the front rack. They should be directed inside the diffusers (or on the windshield). In the rear of the cabin is to have only a subwoofer.
