Many car owners, in search of the perfect sound for themselves, look towards expensive and powerful radio tape recorders, and choose speakers according to the residual principle - how much money is enough. This is a big mistake, because the speakers play a key role in this case and cannot be discounted.
On the shelves of stores you can find a lot of similar equipment, which differs from each other not only by manufacturer and size, but also by type. There are broadband, coaxial and component car speakers.
The last one is 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” noticeably better than other solutions. But the cost of this option, alas, is increasing, and for the perfect sound you have to overpay far from small money.
