Asked Questions
Q: Will new speakers
make a dramatic difference to the fidelity of
my car stereo?
Yes.
Most factory speakers are very basic speakers,
typically a dual cone paper speaker. Car manufacturers
are very cost conscious. If they can save money
on speakers they will. Most factory original
speakers do not have a separate midrange and
tweeter like your home stereo speakers. It can
be a shame to purchase a new CD radio for your
car with more power and features only to be
disappointed by how it sounds. This is most
likely not because of the radio but instead
the speakers lesser quality. Weather also plays
a big part in a speaker's quality as rain, heat,
cold and vibrations all can damage a factory
speaker's paper cone and surround. Aftermarket
speakers are typically made of more weather
resistant materials and include a separate tweeter
and midrange for better sound and longevity.
