Rating of the best 13 cm speakers for cars for 2022

It is impossible to imagine a modern car, from the interior of which music would not sound while driving along city streets or highways. Car enthusiasts are always improving their cars, both externally and internally. The dynamics in the cabin are no exception. Often you can find 13-centimeter installations, which, according to users, transmit sound waves with high quality and do not require costs during installation work.

Attention is presented with an overview of the most popular 13 cm speakers in a car with a brief description, advantages and disadvantages.

General idea of ​​the product - selection criteria

The sensitivity of the speakers is responsible for how the music will sound in the vehicle interior. The higher this figure, the better. All devices are endowed with a certain power: maximum, nominal or peak.

• The maximum indicator determines how many watts the system can withstand "on pure waves" without the appearance of extraneous noise and damage to the device.
• The nominal indicator is the power that acoustics provides during daily use. This indicator is influenced by the material and shape of the body, as well as the diffuser.
• The peak value (rarely specified by the manufacturer) indicates how long the speakers can withstand the maximum load.

Speaker types

There are three types of installations: component acoustics, coaxial, broadband.

The component model is endowed with separate midbass and tweeter, which are switched on through a crossover.

Note! Midbass is responsible for the mid-bass range. The tweeter is a high frequency speaker.

The coaxial model is a midbass, in the central part of which one or more tweeters are fixed.

Broadband models almost always have a rounded shape up to 7 inches in diameter (most often 6 inches). Many of them belong to the budget series.

Product Selection Tips

13 cm drivers are included in the standard sizes along with 10 and 16 cm models, so they are most often purchased by both beginners and people who know a lot about this business.Acoustics of such a plan reproduce sound from 100 Hz, thereby impressing a huge number of motorists with average hearing (they have a taste in music, but are not demanding on the quality of playback of playlists).

Recommendations:

• In order to avoid the appearance of wheezing and sound distortion, it is better to purchase acoustics with a power slightly higher than the tape recorder can handle.
• If the resonance indicator (displays the depth and richness of the bass) has a low number, then the sound will be better.
• If you want to install the system on the rear shelf, then the coaxial model is ideal. This is due to the fact that the user determines the direction to the sound source precisely by the HF, and the drop in high frequencies in this case is only good.
• Full range loudspeakers are designed for lovers of background or low-frequency music. The best option for installing them is the rear hemisphere of the car.
• Component acoustics are recommended for the front hemisphere.
• Of great importance for sound reproduction is the material of the cone.

The emitter (diffuser) is a special cone-shaped membrane, which is made of cellulose, propylene, silk, various metals, composite and other materials.

Paper affects the high sensitivity of the acoustic system, has a light and smooth frequency response, but does not differ in rigidity and mechanical strength.

Polypropylene is weather resistant, has excellent impulse response, smooth frequency response, smooth transition to zone mode, but, like paper, cannot boast of high rigidity.

Composite materials are endowed with high strength, good rigidity and weather resistance.

Among these main components, the compositional version occupies a leading position.However, which speaker the buyer chooses is up to him.
