Input, Output, and Wiring

Input is the point where the sound comes from. An input could be a CD player, a radio, or even a tape player if you feel retro. Amperage is the power capacity to produce sound on your speakers. Amplifiers are designed to carry input and enhance its power. We’ll return to this all-important place in a couple of paragraphs. You want wires to find the input. You want the cables to find the input that is amplified to the speakers.

The speakers that come with your car are exactly what is known as midrange speakers. They are great for playing songs, but they are not designed to replicate higher or strong tones. For that, you want subwoofers speakers to provide the ideal bass notes or miniature tweeters made to eke out the top frequencies notes.

Tweeters Design


Tweeters are made of materials that take wavelength vibrations. Some tweeters are made from soft fabrics, such as polypropylene, or silk, create elegant and somewhat mellowed highs. Tweeters that use hard substances such as plastics, metal, or graphite create sharp and bright highs. Audio such as classical and jazz music are heard well on softer materials work best. But if you are after hard metal-or or rock, particularly techno, go for tweeters designed with the hard stuff.

Type of Tweeters


There are various kinds of tweeter designs. Dome tweeters will be the most like the designs utilized in mid-range audio systems. They operate and look just like speakers, but their lighter and smaller structure permits them to reach the highs. Horn tweeters include a compression driver around a cone such as horn’s throat, boosting the output to a more powerful degree. Ribbon tweeters utilize a blend of pieces of metal between the negative and positive poles of a magnet. Most car audio experts who are proficient will have the ability to steer you in the ideal direction.
