Car Speakers at Crutchfield

How to shop for car speakers

If your existing factory stereo sounds muddy and muffled, a new set of speakers will provide that extra crispness and detail you’re missing.

Dollar for dollar, installing new speakers is the best way to improve your car stereo’s sound.

Crutchfield carries car speakers of nearly every size, shape, and type. With so many choices available, it can be hard to know which ones to buy. Below, we’ll discuss the highlights to get you started, but for more guidance on what to look for when shopping, read our car speakers buying guide.

You’ll quickly notice that every step of the way, we’ll ask you to tell us about your car. That’s because, just like with pants, the best way to shop for speakers is to start by knowing which ones will actually fit. This will also help narrow your search so you can focus on what’s relevant for your vehicle. After all, if you’re looking for a single 6-1/2″ dash speaker for your ’69 Beetle, you don’t need to see a 4″x10″ speaker tooled to fit your neighbor’s vintage Ford hotrod.

Speakers come in one of two forms:

Full-range speakers

The basic speaker. The tweeter and the woofer are mounted together in one body. These are also called “coaxials” or “2-way speakers.” You’ll also see 3-way and the occasional 4-way speakers that have an extra tweeter or midrange driver mounted on the same frame to help further separate the musical frequencies and deliver more detailed sound.

Component speakers

Also referred to as “separates.” The tweeter and woofer are not mounted in the same basket. This design allows for better placement of the tweeter. The woofer mounts in the lower door location, but you can mount the tweeter in a more optimal spot, usually higher on the door or on the dash. This helps direct the high-frequency sounds toward your ears, instead of your legs, and dramatically improves how your music sounds.

At Crutchfield, we’ve grouped our speakers into several different categories to match the way people shop.

Speakers by size category

These are all of the standard speaker sizes found in today’s vehicles. If you know you need 5-1/4″ speakers, you can go straight to our 5-1/4″ offerings

Tweeters

The whole tweeter and nothing but the tweeter. Sometimes you want to add a set of tweeters to your existing speakers to improve the high-frequency details in your music. Or maybe you want to replace a blown factory tweeter. Then this is the category for you. You’ll find everything from inexpensive replacements to high-end tweeters that need an amplifier.

Midrange speakers

Similar to the tweeters category, midrange speakers are smaller woofers that deliver the midrange and mid-bass frequencies. Many car audio fans install midrange speakers as their rear speakers instead of full-range speakers. The lack of tweeter in the back of the car serves to pull the soundstage forward so that it sounds like the band is up front with you, the driver.

Vehicle-specific speakers

These are speakers are designed to be direct replacements in specific vehicles. Here you’ll find options for classic cars and a few modern vehicles that don’t have many speaker options due to cramped locations or non-standard speaker sizes.

Extreme performance speakers

These speakers are built to handle TONS of power, built from the ground up for sound competitions. They come in a variety of sizes for custom installations, including tweeters, midrange drivers, woofers, and subwoofers. If SPL competition or the absolute best sound quality is your thing, then this is your speaker category.

Speakers for custom installations

This curated category contains speakers geared for the custom installer who’s looking for voice-matched components without regard for fit. In fact, many of these speakers won’t fit in standard speaker locations because they’re built to handle power rather than be squeezed into a Camry’s door panel.

Power handling

Are you powering your speakers with the factory radio or a 1,000 watt amplifier? This is an important detail when shopping for new speakers.

Tweeter design

What the tweeters are made of dramatically impacts how they sound. Read our article about tweeter design for more details.

Built-in crossovers

Having an external crossover to limit the sound frequencies sent to the tweeter can really help keep the musical details clean.

Everything from speaker wire and connectors to sound deadening materials. We have everything you need to make your new speakers sound their best.

Speaker installation tools

Installing speakers always involves removing panels and connecting wires. We offer a wide selection of tools that’ll make the installation process much simpler. The right tool for the job, and all that.

Popular questions customers ask

It’s simple – you replace your car speakers because you want your music to sound better. Car makers cut corners when it comes to car speakers, and aftermarket speakers use better materials and superior construction to deliver improved sound. Replacing your old speakers is an inexpensive way to get better sound in your car.

Replacing your car’s speakers usually involves removing interior panels (doors, dash, rear dash, etc.), unbolting the factory speakers, using a bracket and wiring harness to install replacement speakers, and then reinstalling your panels. As a Crutchfield customer, you’ll benefit from our free, vehicle-specific instructions, free wiring harnesses that eliminate splicing, and our friendly, toll-free technical support.

No! Speakers are sold in pairs, and it’s common to replace your front speakers first, then later replace your rear speakers. It’s a good idea to choose the same brand speakers for front and back, if possible. That way, the tone settings that sound good in the front seat will sound good in the back seat too. Of course, you can replace all your speakers at one time for the most dramatic improvement.

Like we said above, it depends on the RMS power rating of the speakers. Speakers with an upper range of 50 watts RMS or higher will definitely sound better powered by an external amplifier. If you intend to power them with your factory radio, then speakers with a lower RMS power rating and higher efficiency rating will sound best.

Cone size isn’t the only factor in determining if a speaker fits your car. Sometimes speakers are too tall or too deep to fit your vehicle. In addition to measuring every speaker model we carry, we also measure thousands of vehicles. That’s how we know that we’re recommending the right stuff for your car or truck. If a speaker you’re interested in isn’t listed as fitting, give us a call. Sometimes minor modifications can make it work.

How to repair car speakers yourself

If the speaker in the car stopped working, then the problem is most likely localized somewhere between the amplifier and, in fact, the speaker itself. It could be the speaker cable and some wiring connections or the speaker itself is lousy… Below are the most common difficulties and listed each troubleshooting step. Troubleshooting stereo starts with fixing the problem itself: receiver, speakers, source, or part of the wiring. Can any of the above cause speaker failure?

Stereo speakers are something we usually take for granted, assuming they should always work. But anything happens, and then it becomes necessary to pinpoint the root of the problem in order to carry out a proper repair.

First turn off the car and turn on the stereo. Adjust the fader by adjusting the balance for the front and rear speakers; listen carefully to the audio. Determine in which part of the cabin the problem is localized – and install the fader there. Do the same for the right and left faders.

Stereo speakers require a lot of power to operate. While the factory speakers use the factory car audio systems, the optional speakers may require more power to function properly. You should use a special meter to check if current flows through your speakers.

If your speakers are receiving power, but not working, then most likely they do not have enough power. In this case, the best thing to do is to contact the service center, where they can detect and resolve the problem.

Listen for possible noise or distortion in the speakers at the minimum volume level. At a certain moment, the speaker may seem to shoot through. Then remove the casing that hides the speaker and check for any cracks, tears or any mechanical damage to the speakers. If any are found, then the speaker needs to be replaced.

Inspect the back of the sound system to make sure it is free of any signs of corrosion and that the wires are securely in place. Perhaps the problem is really in the wiring or the stereo system itself. Check the speaker and make sure that the wires connecting the diffuser and the terminals are not damaged in any way.

Try connecting other speakers to the suspicious stereo system if none of the above problems are found. If after that the sound appears, then the problem is a faulty wire connection. If this does not work, then the entire amplification system is faulty. In this scenario, it may be worth completely changing the audio system in the cabin where you bought the car or installed it; You can also consult with an expert in this field for more in-depth study of the problem in order to troubleshoot.
