Many car owners, in search of the ideal sound for themselves, look in the direction of expensive and powerful radio tape recorders, and choose speakers according to the residual principle - for what money is enough. This is a big mistake, because loudspeakers play a key role in this case and cannot be discounted.
On the shelves of shops you can find a lot of similar equipment, which differs from each other not only in the manufacturer and size, but also in type. There are broadband, coaxial and component car speakers.
The latter is precisely the most technically advanced option. In this case, a separate and independent speaker is responsible for each band of the spectrum. A car equipped with component acoustics “sounds” much better than other solutions. But the cost of this option, alas, is increasing, and for the perfect sound you have to pay too little money.
