Are Car Audio Dash Speakers or Tweeters the Better Upgrade?

Many new cars, trucks and SUVs come with small speakers in the dash that accompany a larger woofer in the door. These small speakers, often called “middlers,” are tasked with handling frequencies from a few hundred hertz to the upper limits of human hearing. For over a decade, we’ve seen car audio system upgrades replacing the door and dash speakers with a component set that Read more

Subwoofer Response Simulations Don’t Describe Sound Quality

Expert installation technicians in the car audio industry are fortunate to have several options to simulate speaker and subwoofer response in different applications.

Test Drive Review: Rockford Fosgate T4652-S Component Speaker Set

Though I’ve written it a dozen times across many articles, it’s always worth repeating: The most critical component in any audio system is the speakers.

The car audio fanatics at Rockford Read more

Listen Up! Why Not Just Go to a Car Stereo Shop?

Car audio questions on social media blow my mind. Do these speakers sound good? Does this amp make enough power? What radio is the best? Where should I install my tweeters?

What Effect Does Wire Have on Car Audio Amplifier Power?

When it comes to ensuring that your car audio amplifier is making the most power possible, nothing is more important than properly sized, high-quality power wire. Can an amplifier produce 2,000 watts of power if fed with 4 AWG wire? What factors affect the size and quality of wire needed for an audio system? There’s a lot of confusion around wiring, so let’s look at some Read more

Speaker Passive Crossover Networks Aren’t Universal

I often see people on Facebook Marketplace, eBay, Craigslist or Kijiji (in Canada) selling the passive crossover networks that came with their car audio component speaker sets. In most cases, these people have likely opted for an active system installation that uses a DSP and four dedicated amplifier channels to power their speaker system. An issue that many do-it-yourself car Read more
