When choosing new speakers, it’s worth considering the appropriate diameter – 100mm, 130mm, and 165mm models are currently the standard. In addition, depending on the model, brand, and installation location, it is necessary to select the mounting distance that has a suitable inner diameter. This, of course, means higher efficiency and at the same time the need for more power, which is solved by the amplifier described above (the power of the radio itself is usually very low). The required mounting depth is also important (sometimes your magnets are too large and don’t fit into the openings prepared for the previous speakers), as well as the location where they are mounted. Experts strongly advise against mounting them on a rear shelf or anywhere behind the front seats, as this impairs good musical reception – after all, when we go to a concert or use the Hi-Fi system at home, we are usually in front of the sound source, since for our hearing and the shape of our headphones, This is the best way to listen.
The ideal location for tweeters is near the front console, while woofers should be mounted in well-insulated ports, and powerful bass speakers can be installed – largely due to their size – at the rear of the car. When installing new sheet metal speakers, it is worth using MDF spacers (which are more expensive but much more effective than their plastic counterparts) so that the transmission of vibrations to the sheet metal is effectively eliminated. An absolutely important parameter to consider when selecting new loudspeakers is – in addition to the high quality guaranteed by a reliable manufacturer – the efficiency of the converter, expressed in the unit dB/1 per W/1.
