Open-Box Car Speakers

After-market car speakers can enhance your music's vibrant highs and lows with specialized tweeters (responsible for highs) and subwoofers (for lows). Or you can improve the whole range of your audio system by upgrading your car speakers more generally.

Usually sold in pairs, coaxial speakers pack multiple components, such as tweeters and woofers, into each unit. They work as single-source speakers for the full range of frequencies, providing an even sound field. Most designs are two-way speakers (tweeter and woofer), but some are three-way with a tweeter, mid-range driver and woofer in each speaker.

By contrast, component speaker systems offer you the option of separating the tweeters and woofers in your setup, allowing you to place them in your car more flexibly to achieve your preferred sound. Installing your tweeters near head level usually results in clearer highs.

There are a number of factors to consider when choosing the best car audio speakers. In terms of size, you’ll want to decide if you're going to add new speakers or simply replace the existing speakers. To replace speakers, you can measure and match the ones you have, such as the car door speakers.

To make installation a little easier, you can choose Bluetooth car speakers that don’t need to be wired into the car’s audio system. These provide an easy way to enhance sound in your vehicle. However, if you’re going to add a new speaker to an existing system, it will require a more complex installation. Fortunately, Best Buy offers professional installation for car electronics, so you can have your new car speakers set up for you.

Car audio speakers are only one of the many ways that you can improve your driving experience. There are also lots of great car gadgets for added convenience and safety while driving. You can even set up Wi-Fi in your car if you’re on a road trip or want the convenience of hopping online from anywhere.
