Refers to the size of the speaker measured in inches. Every vehicle has standard application sizes. Please use our vehicle fitment guide for your vehicle's specific speaker sizes if you do not know them.

The number of individual drivers in a car speaker. Speakers with 2 drivers are known as a 2-way, and 3 drivers are known as a 3-way. Component systems are often referred to as "separates" because the tweeter is not attached to the midwoofer (main speaker driver) and mounts separately in a location such as a door post. Component systems typically come with an external crossover so you can easily adjust the high and low frequencies sent to both the midwoofer and the tweeter. Center channel speakers are great for those looking to have surround sound in their vehicle.

The RMS power is the amount of power the speaker requires to operate safely and properly. RMS Power Handling refers to the amount of power a speaker can handle on a continuous basis. We recommend powering your speakers or subwoofer with 80%-120% of its recommended RMS rating. The RMS power handling specification is typically rated per speaker unless otherwise noted.
Question Mark Icon of Question Mark
Peak power handling refers to the amount of power a speaker can handle during a brief musical burst. The RMS power range figure is a much more reliable rating for determining the speaker's power requirements. The Peak power handling specification is typically rated per speaker unless otherwise noted.

An efficiency or sensitivity rating tells you how effectively a speaker converts power into sound. The higher the number, the more efficient the speaker and the louder it will play with the same input power. An efficient speaker helps you maximize your available power. Most sensitivity ratings measure the speaker's output with 1 watt of input, 1 meter from the speaker. Some speakers' sensitivity is measured with 2.83 volts of input, instead of 1 watt.
  Efficiency (1w/1m) is not an accurate indicator of a subwoofer's output capability and should not be used as a comparison to other speakers or subwoofers to determine which one is "louder".

The load value (in ohms) that the speakers present to the amplifier per voice coil - the amount of resistance to the current flow. This is a key specification as subs wired in parallel or low impedances can create problems with your amplifier and potentially void all warranties. We encourage you to ask our support department prior to purchase if you do not understand which impedance level will suit your application best.

This means that the subwoofer/speaker is designed to be installed in areas that do not have a lot of space. Shallow mount subwoofers are typically found under a seat or behind the seat in some trucks.

Shallow mount speakers will typically have a mounting depth of 2" or less, while shallow mount subwoofers will typically have a mounting depth of 3" or less.

Designs such as cone, dome, semi-dome, balanced dome, and whizzer are most popular. Cone tweeters are simple, efficient and typically are the most reasonably priced. Dome tweeters are used in most home speakers, and provide a smoother and more accurate sound. Semi-dome design is one with a dome placed inside a cone. A Balanced dome driver is a semi-dome with equal reproduction area given the cone and dome portions of the driver. A whizzer tweeter is a separate tweeter cone driven by the voice coil of the woofer.

    All About 3.5" Speakers


    3.5” Car Speakers

    Commonly used in car audio systems, 3.5" car speakers strike a good compromise between portability and output. These speakers are compact enough to fit in the doors or dashboards of most cars without taking up too much room. They have a good frequency response, allowing for music, podcasts, and phone calls to all sound crisp and well-balanced. 

    This size of speaker works well in a wide variety of car audio setups, from simple two-speaker systems to elaborate multi-speaker systems with amplifiers. Both newer and older cars typically use 3.5" speakers in the upper dash corners. In most cases, 3.5" coaxial speakers will function as a tweeter while also providing a trace of mid-bass. Most of the time, the speakers will be installed behind the original grille or factory panel; hence they do not come with grilles. 

    3.5" car speakers are a great option whether you're looking to upgrade your car's existing system or install new speakers. Sonic Electronix is your one-stop shop for premium audio brands including NVX, Kicker, Infinity, JL Audio, JBL, Crunch, Rockford-Fosgate, Cerwin-Vega, and more to fulfill your car audio and electronic needs.

    3.5" Speakers Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
    3.5" speakers, also known as 3.5-inch or 3 1/2-inch speakers, are compact audio drivers designed to reproduce mid-range frequencies in car audio systems. They are commonly used as factory or OEM speakers in many vehicles due to their small size and versatility. In car audio, 3.5" speakers are often found in the dashboard or A-pillars, serving as dedicated mid-range drivers to complement larger speakers handling low and high frequencies. These speakers play a crucial role in reproducing vocals and instruments with clarity, contributing to a balanced and natural soundstage. While they may not produce deep bass like larger woofers, 3.5" speakers are essential for achieving a well-rounded and enjoyable listening experience.
    Upgrading to aftermarket 3.5" speakers offers several advantages over factory speakers. Aftermarket speakers typically feature higher-quality materials and construction, resulting in improved sound clarity and accuracy. The addition of premium components, such as polypropylene or mica-infused cones and silk or Mylar dome tweeters, enhances the overall sound performance. Aftermarket 3.5" speakers can handle more power, reducing distortion at higher volumes and delivering a cleaner sound. Upgrading to aftermarket speakers also allows for customization, as you can choose speakers that match your preferred sound signature. Additionally, some aftermarket 3.5" speakers come with swivel or pivot tweeters, allowing you to adjust the sound direction for better sound staging. Overall, the upgrade to aftermarket 3.5" speakers significantly enhances the audio quality and listening pleasure in your car.
    To determine if 3.5" speakers are compatible with your vehicle, you'll need to check the available space for speaker installation. Measure the diameter and mounting depth of the existing speakers or speaker locations in your car's dashboard or A-pillars. Most 3.5" speakers have standardized measurements, but some vehicles may have unique speaker mounting requirements. If your car came with factory-installed 3.5" speakers, it's usually a straightforward replacement with aftermarket 3.5" speakers. However, some vehicles may have non-standard speaker sizes or mounting configurations, requiring additional adapters or modification for a proper fit. To ensure compatibility and a hassle-free installation, consider consulting a car audio professional or using an online fitment guide.
    While 3.5" speakers can reproduce mid-range frequencies with clarity, they are not designed to produce deep bass like larger subwoofers or woofers. Their compact size limits their ability to move a significant volume of air required for low-frequency reproduction. However, many 3.5" aftermarket speakers are designed with improved bass response compared to factory speakers. They use advanced engineering and materials to optimize the mid-bass performance, providing a more balanced sound. Additionally, if you seek enhanced bass, consider pairing 3.5" speakers with a subwoofer or a larger speaker system. The combination of 3.5" speakers for mid-range and high frequencies, along with a dedicated subwoofer for low frequencies, can result in a more robust and satisfying audio experience with full-range sound reproduction.
    The installation of 3.5" speakers can vary depending on your car's make and model, as well as your level of experience with car audio installations. If your vehicle has straightforward and accessible speaker locations for 3.5" speakers, you may be able to handle the installation yourself with the right tools and know-how. Many aftermarket 3.5" speakers come with installation instructions and mounting accessories, making the process more manageable. However, some vehicles may have more challenging installation requirements, such as custom mounting brackets or adapters. If you are unsure about the installation process or lack experience, it's advisable to seek professional installation. Car audio experts can ensure a proper and secure fit for optimal sound performance and prevent any damage to your vehicle's interior. Professional installation also provides peace of mind knowing that your new 3.5" speakers are set up correctly for the best audio experience.

    Advantages of 3.5" Speakers:

    Though compact in size, 3.5" speakers pack a powerful punch when it comes to audio performance. One of the primary advantages of these speakers is their versatility in installation. Due to their small footprint, they can easily fit into tight spaces, making them an excellent choice for vehicles with limited mounting options. Despite their size, 3.5" speakers are capable of delivering clear and balanced sound across the entire frequency range.

    Another advantage of 3.5" speakers is their ability to complement existing speaker setups. By adding them as dedicated mid-range drivers, you can enhance the overall sound quality and fill in the gaps between larger speakers, resulting in a more immersive audio experience.
