Pads for speakers in the car: an overview of the best options
Content
Decorative overlays for speakers in a car are external panels that solve aesthetic and protective tasks. Different materials are used for their manufacture - plastic or metal, but stainless steel is most often used. Self-tapping screws are provided in front of the speaker for fastening to the body of the terminal (machine).
Pads on the speakers in the car perform a decorative and protective function. If the car has a good sound system in the basic version, the owner does not make a replacement. When you want more, improvements are made. In addition to the speakers, you will need to choose speaker covers for the car. Car acoustics have their own characteristics, subtleties of work that need to be understood. Pads for speakers in cars usually have a universal design, the kit comes from 1 piece.
What's this
Decorative overlays for speakers in a car are external panels that solve aesthetic and protective tasks. Different materials are used for their manufacture - plastic or metal, but stainless steel is most often used.
Covers are suitable for:
- Universal speakers that operate in a wide range of sounds reproduce frequencies of 10 Hz or more (up to thin squeaks). The reverse side of versatility is the average quality of frequency reproduction over the entire width of the spectrum. That is, the bass will not pump, and the treble will sound too flat.
- Coaxial models - such speakers for cars consist of a set of dedicated emitters that are mounted in one housing. The most common type with 3 heads is for high, medium, bass. Coaxial models are compact, have an extended range of sounds. They give a rich, rich sound, the price is above average.
- Component modifications - in this case, the effect of spatial sound diversity is achieved. To get a bright sound in stereo format, you need a set of heads low, medium, high frequencies. The model gives the most surround sound in every part of the acoustic spectrum. Disadvantages of the solution - it will be necessary to equip the optimal seats for the speakers, otherwise they will not be installed.
Component and coaxial speakers reproduce sound from one channel to each successive set of speakers. The frequency range is divided using the built-in splitter device. To achieve surround sound, you need a spatial separation of the output channels to enhance the sound of the radio.
Grill or duster?
Grills are called protective grilles, which were originally supposed to be used as diffusers, to protect the speakers from mechanical defects (if someone decides to poke a finger at the cap in the center of the diffuser, the part will bend).
Anthers prevent dust from entering the structure. Settled dust masses do not affect the sound, but they need to be brushed off from time to time. If you do not clean the anthers for a long time, it will be very difficult to do this in the future. Other characteristics of anthers can be attributed to side effects (such as filtering high-frequency sounds).
Shapes and sizes
Pads on the speakers in the car can have different sizes, shapes. Make a choice taking into account the type of speakers installed in the car. The most popular option is round, less often oval columns are used. The size of the speakers in the car determines the frequency range that the equipment handles best.
Available options:
- Compact models up to 13 cm in diameter reproduce high frequencies well. The mids are not so clear, but the sound will be decent, the bass is always flat.
- An average diameter of 15 to 18 cm is better for bass, but this is not a subwoofer zone, the upper range plays much worse. Models are usually coaxial, they may have an additional tweeter for high frequencies. Another option is component, it provides an additional emitter, it will be installed nearby.
- With a diameter of more than 20 cm, subwoofers have a surround bass reproduction (low frequency range). Such models do not work with the tops, but the basses are luxurious (from them the interior will shake and the windows will tremble).
