In part 1 of our car speaker informational series, we discuss and review some of the differences between coaxial speakers and component systems. Using the Kicker KS650 coaxial speakers and the Precision Power 356cs component speakers as an example, we give you a closer look at these car audio speakers. Hopefully this will help in learning more about car speakers, as well as choosing your next set of car speakers.

Thanks for this informative video. Looks like I'm gonna go Coaxial in my car.
Awesome, Awesome video describing the coax and components. I cant wait to order my components from you guys.
The amplifier would run to a crossover network which then runs the midrange driver and the tweeter. If you have only 4 speakers total, meaning 2 tweeters and two midbass drivers with no rear speakers, you can run Channel 3 and 4 to the tweeters themselves but have the gain way down. This is known as bi-amplification.
This video is a great introduction for audio novices like me. Thanks!
Informative, thank you!
Excellent guide! 10/10 perfect! :)
Yes, the KS65.2's will sound great on a rear deck and will produce a fair amount of mid-bass. Great question!
i have 4 of the kicker ks600's and they're clear as crystal. love em!
Thanks I'm going to order mine today :-)

They would be happy to speak to you about any question you may have about finding the right products for your car.
Thank you. I didnt know the difference.
just got the JBL GTO component, great deal u guys have there.
Just bought a Kenwood stereo from these dudes, super nice on the phone.
Got a new pair of Polk DB651's.
I was Youtubing how to install the car speakers, and this popped up.
Stoked.
very informative, thanks!
Yes, typically when installing a set of component speakers you will need to use one crossover per set to filter out any harmful frequencies.
Thumbs up:) Very helpful and clarified my questions 100 % :)Thank you
helped a lot!! thanks
Yes, of course!
yeah I did that for my kicker Ks Components because my factory tweeters was to small so I mounted my tweeter to the speaker and sounds much better than just the regular coaxial's
@pleeeeep You certainly can. Some good options are the Boston Acoustics SE60 speakers. These 6-1/2" speakers don't require an amp and can be driven with a factory head unit. Personally I would recommend an aftermarket head unit for much better overall performance from the speakers, but it can work either way.
@muscleammo Yes, you will most definatly need a crossover or even a tweeter filter.
@561buRnz407 To clarify, a LOT of component speakers require external amplification if not most. Coaxials sometimes don't require amplification, as they require low power (Around 35WRMS) As kevin10r corrected, most aftermarket headunits only push around 20W RMS. Factory radios push much less, maybe around 5-10W RMS at the most? If your components require 50W RMS or more, I would surely recommend an amplifier for your door speakers as well. 35W-45W RMS is pretty safe to run off of a deck.
Best Video ever 👌 Very well explain
@moddingpc Component speakers are generally used to created a full range of audio. This is done with the use of crossovers which filter out frequencies that are not favorable to each driver so that the driver is not producing unwanted frequencies and thus becoming distorted. With the ability to mount the tweeter right next to the bass driver you are able to have all sound hit your ears at the same time which creates better sound staging in your vehicle.
I have the 2004 Kicker ks6.5 component set in my 05 Silverado single cab got both band new a few months a part
Typically a set of components that have the same specifications as a coaxial version will distort less, due to the woofer cone having more mobility since the tweeter is mounted separately. Component speakers also give you much more versatility in installation, allowing you to direct the tweeters toward you to improve sound imaging.
No BS just informative thanks for the vid
Thanks great video
Can you be more specific? which speakers and sub do you own?
Thanks for this! - I recently bought a second handed Celica. Sadly the HU was pretty sad, so I already had it swapped for a new pioneer deh-x5500bt. However, I soon noticed, when raising the volume, that one of the stock speakers was dying. So, time to replace those as well. Since this is my first car, and I'm a poor college student, I need something affordable, but good. I was looking at the Polk db6501 up front, and the db651 coaxial in the back. Are there some other things I should look at?
@5heeshi I'd like to clarify, as I'm not familiar with triaxial myself. If you mean a three way component, or a three way coaxial, they will both work. 4 speakers + a sub will work fine. You have to consider the power handling of the speakers you choose to know if you'll need an amp for them, of if you can just run them off of your factory radio. If you want to run the speakers off of a factory head unit, ensure that they require a low amount of power handling, around 35W RMS per speaker.
Sir Nice video ..... Plz make video difference between home speakers v/s car speakers
Are the 6-1/2" speakers in the door Coaxial or Component speakers?
Absolutely.
Most component sets do come with crossovers. You would want crossovers because they give each speaker the correct signal for the best performance. Also, you would want to use an amp to get the best sound out of them.
If you are going for Rainbow Speakers you should definitely get a component set and amplify them. Components allow you to place your tweeters and mid range drivers anywhere you want so you can make your sound staging how you want. This means, if you install them correctly, your music could sound like it is coming from the dash and not the floor.
You can make custom locations in the pillars and the door panels but this will obviously require a lot more work and is usually left to professional installers. If you're just looking for a quick install then go with a coaxial set. If you're trying to get the best sound quality possible then go with the componet set.
Yes, if you unplug the tweeter, you could put coaxial speakers in the doors if they fit. Make sure to check the depth of the new speaker and new tweeter built into it, you dont want it to hit your factory grills.
@brett2002ranger I'm sure you already have it figured out by now but you could just tap into your existing speakers, although the more professional way would be to run it to your head unit. Unfortunately it's extremely hard to remove the head unit from the dash on a lot of newer vehicles, so in some cases tapping into the signal to your existing speakers would be required unless you got it done professionally.
The Infinity Reference Series is great, so is the Rockford P1 series of speakers. Your Polk DB series is an excellent choice as well.
my car had a seperate tweeter which kinda cliped into the door i replaced with a fli fl6 component kit but thinkiking going to edge but do i go coaxial or stick with component
Thoughts on using a 2 way coaxial speaker for a DIY portable Bluetooth speaker?
Can't go wrong for the price they sound very very very good!!
What if my car already has a separate tweeter? Would I then only need just the mid-range speaker without the crossover?
can you tell me switch one will be better I have a 2016 honda pilot elite model looking for something really nice plz help me out
I got an amazing deal on Sony Coax Speakers, but my car has a component setup, I thought about converting it into a component, but I have no screw behind my sticker. I guess I could cut the tweeter off and make it work that way. Do you think I should do that or just install coax in my doors?
Yeah, you can replace them without changing the head unit. We'd recommend picking up a pair of low wattage 6-1/2" speakers like Boston Acoustics SE65, and a pair of bass blockers like PAC BB-1PR.
Question can you just use the woofer and tweeter with out the crossover, or you would need the crossover for the both of the two?
Of course you can. You can purchase 2 sets of the same component speaker system (4 tweeters and 4 mid range) and run a pair in the front and the back. Higher end vehicles use that type of setup.
@jenuelpr The best place is the kick panel, it is closer to the wiring coming from the door and its also in a more secure spot. Its never really a good idea to put external crossover inside the door panel, the door is constantly opening and closing and it can cause the crossovers to fall. So the best location is the kick panel.
I have a 2008 Lexus GS460 with a Mark Levinson sound system. The door speakers are only tweeters that are 8 ohm. What would you recommend as a replacement speaker to get a better sound?
Polk Audio makes some very nice door speakers as well as tweeters. You have a 6" x 9" opening in the front doors, and a 6-1/2" opening in the rear doors. You may go with a component set and use the mid-woofers as door replacements to work along side of your new tweeters, or you may go with coaxial speakers for a total of 4 woofers and 8 tweeters. Check out our website to view our selection of Polk Audio speakers.
Bro i got JBL GTX 1300T basstube ... I don't what type speaker will be good for my car ..so i want to know what type of speakers will be best for my car ,for front n rear speakers????
Useful video, but my doubt is that many people in my country will change their after market speakers as component system in the front and co axial speakers in the back , I don’t understand what’s the reason that they retain the coaxial type of in the rear and component speaker type in the front , hopefully you answer my query . Thanks
How do your wires look? If the signal RCA cables are cheap or passing too close to the power wires you can get that additional harshness . But if your stuff (HU / AMP / SPKRS) are new or good, then look over your connections and maybe the signal / speaker wires to see if they are too thin or being pinched anywhere that creates some sort of feedback.
My car has inbuilit 300 watt pioneer coaxial speakers. I want to install a bass tube. Do i need to change them to component speakers or shall i install a bass tube seperately with pre existing coaxial speakers.
Would you recommend the NVX JAD800.4 amp for Polk Audio MM692 - MM1 Series 6x9" Coaxial Speakers and a kenwood Excelon KDC-x303 headunit? If not should I go with more or less power?
I've seen many people put their coaxial speakers in the back of their car under the rear windshield. Could/would it be better or even best to possibly get both a coaxial and component speakers but have the coaxial in the back and component in the front?
I have 2 Kenwood 4 channel 6X9's in the back and 2 3 channel 6.5's in my front doors. These are connected to a 4 channel High-res Polk 660 75 RMS X4. I also have 2 15in Alpine Type S subwoofers hooked to 1000 RMS. Would another Polk 660 and 2 Component speakers Custom installed into my dash with the tweeters and 2 Mid-bass speakers into my back pannels sound good? Also what brand would you recommend of component speakers? I have a 500 dollar limit on the Mid bass speakers and the Components.
Sir coaxial tweeter 250watt ki sound quality kesi rhegi JBL component speaker ke sath me combination plzz tell me sirr fast reply sir
Okay, I'm looking to completely redoing my car stereo. I have a 2000 Honda Civic with two 6" speakers in the door and two 6"x9" speakers on the rear deck. I'm also thinking about getting either two 10" woofers or one 12" woofer. What kind of system and amp do you think I should buy?
Thank you very much i plan on doing 8 6.5 components and 2 sundown sa 15's. 320 amp should cover that, right ?
can i install component speakers without tweeters?
only speakers connected to crosover?
Thanks a lot, now I fully understand the difference between both. I didn't even knew about this as there is no such thing for hometheater audio. Too bad I already bought my car speakers, otherwise I would prolly have invested in a component setup.
Is it me or over 85% of cars never comes with a stock component speaker and only have 1 crappy small coaxial speaker in the front doors? Usualy you see stock component (easier to replace..) on cars starting at how much money or since which year?
What if I wanna add a subwoofer to the component speakers? Are there crossovers that split the frequencies three ways?
Should yo really use new tweeters if your car already has one? Is it ok to just install the speakers without crossovers? How much of a difference would it make with or without the crossover while keeping the factory unit? TIA!
Huge thanks :)
Can you add a amp to the external crossover ??
Like a four channel amp to the external
I have a nice set of 4 ohm Diamond audio speakers that i plan to put in my fairing of my Harley Davidson. Can i just run the midrange without tweeters? Because i have (4) 6x9’s with tweeters in my rear for mid bass
hi, i need a basic guide to match an stereo i bought, is a pioneer deh x4600bt. and it says is Peak: 50 watts x 4 channels and RMS: 17 watts x 4 channels. and i dont know how to match a pair of good speakers to have the best quality sound without an amp. what i need to watch on he speakers description?. for example on ''sonic electronics website'' the discription says example: Peak Power: Peak Power: 250W and RMS Power: 30W (sorry for the english, is not my main language) hope you can help. thanks for the time.
whats better full or mid range speaker and what speaker has de best voice clarity
im wanting to add some component speakers to my ford ranger down at the kick panels gonna get custom kick panels so i can. will i have to run new speaker wire to my head unit or could i just tap into the current door speaker with like t-taps or something like that? thanks
Hey I have a 2003 toyota highlander, which would be better coaxial or component speakers?
do you recommend a coaxial system or a component system or both for a car?
Different speakers can play different frequencies more efficiently. Capacitors come in different sizes to filter out different frequencies.
Go with speakers that have a bright tweeter such as Aluminum or Titanium. Run ported enclosures that are built specifically for the subwoofers you are running and use a lot of clean power without clipping the signal, and you will be good.
so it i am going to use the component setup for my front and back speakers. how many channels do i need on my amp
Hi Bro which speaks is good for renolto kwid coax or components...?
and if d car is suv will it be app to install the same sound system
The Hifonics will work, but it will actually slightly underpower the Rockford Fosgate T1 6.5". In our opinion, you would be better off with a little more power. We recommend the NVX JAD800.4 to achieve the Rockford Fosgates' maximum performance.
I have some component speakers and a sub. what type of amp do I need? 4 channel?
Hi, i've a stock Renault Megane 3.(stock tape is 140W) I don't want any change except my speakers.(No amplifier and subwoofer) My car has 4 speakers(13 centimeters / 5.11 inch)) and 4 tweeters and all of them is at different place on the door panel. What kind of speaker is better choice for my car and could you suggest me a speaker? All i want is a little much clear voice and a little higher sound level than the stock. Thank you.
@SonicElectronixTV he quick question im looking to get some new speakers for my isuzi i290 truck the speakers i have now are the pioneer TSA1673R coaxial and i am very disappointed as the speakers are definitely not the clearest. Do you recommend coaxial speakers or component speakers? i do not plan on getting a amp i am just running it off the head unit. Is there a pair of speakers with nice mids and highs with great sound quality you can recommend? thanks again!
Speaker installations are rarely direct fit with OEM gear. Are you sure they are not 4x6" speakers in the lower dash?
They are a good speaker. You'll be happy with them.
Can i install 35c cs in 06 s class w221 without harmon cardon system ?
I want to know if I need to buy an amplifier for my Polk DB651 speakers if I have:
1) Kenwood KDC-155U that makes 22 watts RMS/50 peak
2) Polk DB651 speakers (only 1 pair in the front) that makes 60 watts RMS/ 180 peak
I am going to keep the rear speakers stock because I do not have money to replace them right now. But if I were to use the receiver's settings to push more power on the front Polk speakers would it sound bad or good?
I have a question. If I was going to get 2 sets of component speakers and I was also running a sub, would I have to get a separate amplifier to power these speakers? Also, what would I have to do to run to amplifiers in my truck?
Glad we could be of service. :]
I Have A Question. I Have Coaxial Speakers On The Front Door, I Was Thinking About Changing It To Component Speakers, I Was Also Going To Install A Mid 8 Woofer On Top. I Was Wondering Which Speaker Would Be Better On Top, The Mid or Component Speakers Because I Was Thinking If I Had The Mid On Top It Will Be Louder Then The Component Speakers At The Bottom. What Is The Best Place For Each Speaker, I Will Do The Bacc Doors As Well.
First off thanks for you response.
This is a tentative set up for now & subject to change.
Lanzar MX46 240W 4" Max Series 2-way Coaxial Spkr 4 ohm
Lanzar MX63 200 W 6 ½ Max Series 3-Way Coaxial Spkr 4 ohm
Lanzar MAXP64 600W 6 ½ Sub Woofer 4 Ohm
Unfortunetly, I can't find the actual RMS for ea & reviews are scarce. Looking for @ 50 RMS set up. So I don't know where or how a 4 way crossover would fit in, if it fits.
Thanks for you help and the videos... Very Helpful!!!
Hello, I was wondering if you could help with a problem I am having. I just recently installed the Polk DB1001 tweeters (amazing btw) into my 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee with the infinity amp. The problem I am having is that I don't exactly know what to do from here. I would like to replace the four speakers I have in the front and back as they will probably be blown in a few months. I'm just uncertain what exactly will work with the new tweeters I have without spending too much money.
@blink1223 What you will need is a 4-channel Line-Out Converter. This will allow you to use your speakers wires as hi-level inputs that you would connect to your speakers to your vehicle without messing with the factory dash or the need to upgrade or change your headunit. This would be the best way to go. Something like the Cache COE6 should do the trick.
i have an 03 eclipse and want to install 6 1/2" speakers for the doors and 6x9s for the rear. im planning on getting these from alpine, but im not sure if they should be component or coaxials. what should i do? and also, what type of amp should i get?
@Jakeisaawesomedude If the RMS power handling is above 50 watts RMS then we would recommend running an amplifier.
can i put component in the front and in the back of the car?
hie ! i hav been watching a couple of videos and i am confused as to what all to put in my car !
i need to know what exactly should i get fixed in d car
i want to have an excellent quality sound with not too much base but a good quality one !
just recmnd me what all to put and models no. with it !
i have a 2000 mitsubishi mirage 2dr coupe and i think im either going to get two mid range or one sub woofer so i can make my sound system a little better which should i get????
You may wire a pair of the TS-D1602R's in parallel down to 2 ohms for 1 channel, and a second pair wired the same way for the second channel. You may then run each TS-A6974R to the remaining two channels at 4ohms. Be very careful doing this, because the lower impedance your speakers run at, the more power they will be receiving. Adjust your gain levels with care.
i have a small, single cab ute, currently it has 2 stock speakers in the door at 6.5'. What yould you recommend for a simple sound system on a lower budget?
