A crucial step in finding and ultimately buying new speakers for your car is knowing the correct specifications and sizes for your specific vehicle model. The last thing you want is shiny new speakers that don’t even fit right in your car.

Not all car speakers are built equal – Depending on your budget and the current layout of your vehicle, you may be able to choose between coaxial and component speakers.

Component speakers offer better speaker placement, allowing you to better hear the higher frequency range. This is because the tweeters are positioned closer to your head, allowing high-frequency sound waves to travel a shorter distance. You can also purchase separate component mid-bass speakers to provide higher quality audio across all frequencies. All of these types of speakers will completely depend on how your vehicle is installed, unless you want to do some interior customization.
Coaxial speakers usually contain two drivers, and in other cases, they may contain more. They allow you to achieve a full range of frequencies, but the sound will not be as directional as that of a component speaker array. That said, coaxial speakers are often lower cost and more affordable.
