Speaker Size
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.
Design
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.
RMS Power Handling
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.
Peak Power Handling
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.
Sensitivity
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".
Impedance (Per Voice Coil)
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.
Shallow Mount Installation
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.
Tweeter Design
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.
Series
Many brands group their products into series or lines of products to help customers know the level of quality (good, better, best for example). You can filter by series and the brand using our guided browsing.

    Pro & Full-Range Drivers Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
    Pro and full-range drivers are both types of speaker drivers used in audio systems, but they have distinct characteristics. Pro drivers, also known as professional audio drivers, are designed for high-power and efficient performance in professional audio applications like concerts and live sound reinforcement. They are built to handle high sound pressure levels and deliver clear and dynamic audio even in large venues. Full-range drivers, on the other hand, are designed to reproduce a wide range of frequencies in a single driver. They are commonly used in compact audio systems and small enclosures where space is limited. While pro drivers excel in power handling and efficiency, full-range drivers offer simplicity and convenience by covering multiple frequency ranges in a single unit.
    The choice between pro and full-range drivers depends on the specific audio system requirements. Pro drivers are ideal for professional sound setups where high volume levels and clear sound projection are crucial. They are often used with horn-loaded enclosures to maximize efficiency and sound coverage in large venues. Full-range drivers, on the other hand, are preferred in compact audio systems, such as bookshelf speakers or portable speakers, where space constraints make it challenging to incorporate multiple drivers. Their ability to handle a wide frequency range simplifies crossover design and ensures a more coherent and integrated sound.
    Yes, it is possible to use pro and full-range drivers together in the same audio system, and in some cases, it can offer benefits. For instance, in a professional audio setup, pro drivers can handle the high frequencies and deliver excellent sound projection, while full-range drivers can handle midrange and lower frequencies. This combination can lead to a more balanced and efficient sound system. However, careful consideration is required when matching drivers, choosing appropriate crossover networks, and ensuring that the drivers' sensitivities and power handling capabilities are compatible.
    The choice between pro and full-range drivers depends on the specific audio application and system requirements. Consider factors such as the intended use of the audio system (professional or consumer), the size of the listening space, desired volume levels, and the overall system complexity. If you need a system for professional audio events or large venues, pro drivers with horn-loaded enclosures may be more appropriate. On the other hand, for compact or portable audio systems, full-range drivers can be an excellent choice due to their simplicity and space-saving design. Seeking advice from audio professionals or conducting research on specific driver models can help make an informed decision based on your needs.
    Maintaining pro and full-range drivers involves regular inspection, cleaning, and monitoring for any signs of damage or wear. Keep the drivers and enclosures clean by gently wiping them with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals that could damage the driver's components. Regularly inspect the drivers for any visible wear or loose connections and address any issues promptly. If using pro drivers in a professional audio setting, be cautious about overdriving them, as this can lead to damage or distortion. Similarly, ensure that full-range drivers are not driven beyond their specified power handling capacity. Overall, following the manufacturer's guidelines for installation, power ratings, and maintenance is essential to maximize the lifespan and performance of both pro and full-range drivers.
