Looking for the best coaxial car speakers? Then look no further. Here are a selection of our favorites that you can buy today.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Car speakers<\/a> and microphones do the same thing, just in different directions. Essentially, the microphone takes a pressure wave of sound and uses a diaphragm to catch the air. The movement of that diaphragm makes a coil of wire fixed to its back, move within a magnet gap, which then makes a signal go up the wire. Meanwhile, speakers take a wire with watts in it – way bigger than the microphone\u2019s one, and turn it back into sound.<\/p>\n

What you need to know is that if you’re tired of your car’s mediocre standard audio, speakers are the immediate and best way to upgrade your setup. However, you need to take a few things into account. The budget is the first one of course, followed by if the speakers will fit in your car. There are standard sizes of all speakers for cars, measured in centimeters. Thing is, the high power handling ones have beefy magnets on their behinds, so some will only fit in bigger cars. Ultimately, it’s always safest to get an expert to check mounting depths for you.<\/p>\n

Coaxial Speakers: What Are We Looking For?<\/h2>\n

These speakers that we’re looking at in this article are the coaxial type. That means there is a tweeter assembled with a mid-bass driver in the same chassis, which creates a single source – or \u2018point source\u2019 for your sound. This is inherently cool and is used by fancy HiFi brand Cabasse for their home stereo stuff, for instance. So as you can see, coaxial does not mean low quality, it just means compact. Your car will have it\u2019s own relevant mounting locations and size requirements, but for comparison purposes, we’ve used the 6.5inch size of each speaker to fairly assess technical and musical ability. The bullet points that you’ll find below list the sizes that each line of speakers are available to purchase in.<\/p>\n

Our shortlist ranges from entry-level, to upper-midway, to sheer awesome. After each one, we’ll name our favorite model from each line, if we were to pick one. You, however, will have to make your choice based upon size & compatibility with your own project car.<\/p>\n

The most major issue with new coaxial speakers for your car is any eventual upgrade. Loudspeakers have various specifications and how many watts they take without dying is one. That\u2019s the famous one. The \u2018secret one\u2019 is sensitivity or efficiency. Put just one watt (called 2.83V as signal level in the specifications) into a speaker, then at one meter away, measure how loud it is in watts – you need an anechoic chamber or an outdoors lab to do this right. Anyway, some speakers can be MUCH louder on less watts than others. Sadly, super efficiency comes with lower power handling. It is a very rare and posh speaker that can do big power and yet be sensitive. It is all about the soft parts that move.<\/p>\n

Speaker makers brag about their cone material being light and stiff and the suspensions being extra wibbly-wobbly. They brag about the material their tweeters are made of and their voice coils\u2019 technology. In this case, these are an affordable speaker that MTX expect you not to use the grille with. Ideal as a drop-in replacement, the 92.5dB sensitivity means they will rock on stock power. The suspension is real rubber and the cone is a pretty electroplated polypropylene injection molding. They’re fabulous value and those 22kHz tweeters will make the details sing.<\/p>\n
