Upgrading the speakers in your car

Speakers are likely to be a key area if you're shopping for new car audio systems - after all, this is where the sound is produced!

If you're looking for a quick upgrade, then this is where you could potentially swap out the standard speakers installed by the manufacturer.

We'll need to know which speakers are already in place, so you can either check yourself or if you're unsure, our expert audio fitters can help guide you through the process.

The most common speakers found in cars are two-way speakers. These are the speakers you'll find in your door frame, consisting of a 'tweeter' (a small speaker that produces high frequencies, like notes and vocals) and a 'woofer' (the larger speaker that creates low frequencies, like bass). These speakers are fairly easy to swap out for an upgraded set, improving sound quality and sometimes even allowing for more volume.

Another more complicated but still popular upgrade is a subwoofer. This is a larger speaker that only deals with bass notes, and will give your music some serious kick - especially with the volume turned up. Subwoofers take up a bit more space than standard car speakers and usually aren't installed by manufacturers, so you'll likely have to give up a bit of space in the boot. There are however some under-seat slim-line subwoofers for those that are short of space.
