Now a day people spend more time in their cars than ever. To keep our attention on the road, we need to entertain our self during driving. Music is the best therapy for entertainment. It is the best way to keep all our senses active without taking our hands off from the steering wheel. Good quality of speaker for music listening is very important to make our journey joyful.
A good car must have a good sound system. Sometimes factory speakers that come with your car are not as good as you want to be or maybe one of your car speakers blew out. In such situations, you need to purchase a new speaker set to replace it with old factory speakers.
The speaker series that I am going to highlight below include the best budget car speakers with the highest customer rating. However, there are many different varieties of speakers available in the market. The only difficulty is to choose speakers that perfectly match your taste and car head unit. But don’t worry; I will make it easy for you. You just need to keep the following points in your mind as a guideline before purchasing the best budget car speakers.
Things you need to consider before purchasing new car speakers.
1. Speaker size
Make sure you know the right size of the speaker fitting in your car. It is the most confusing thing that most customers ask before purchasing a new set of speakers. But it becomes a straightforward task if you follow these steps.
- Remove exiting speaker and measure its mounting depth (distance between the speaker top and base of the magnet)
- Measure the cutout diameter of the speaker. This diameter is approximately equal to the installation hole diameter. As a general rule, a speaker that comes with a 6.5″ diameter tag has a cutout diameter equal to 5.5″. So, installation hole diameter in your car door equal to 5.5″ to install 6.5″ speaker. Same rule for oval shape speaker. 6″x 9″ speaker can fit in the 5”x 8” installation hole.
- Screw position is not critical in most cases because you can easily drill new holes to hold speakers.
2. Power of your car head unit
Find out the watts that your car head unit can handle. If you want to install high watts speakers then purchase an external amplifier accordingly. Mostly the car head unit has 50-200 watts power range. For high bass, you need to install an external amplifier of power 250-500 watts.
3. Frequency rating of the speaker
The frequency range of the speaker indicates its sound quality. A good quality speaker should have a frequency range from 20 to 20000 Hz. Because human ears are capable of hearing frequency from 20 to 20000 Hz.
4. Speaker sensitivity
The sensitivity of the car speaker is also indicating its quality. Sensitivity means how effectively a speaker converts electrical power into sound. The high sensitive speaker gives higher volume at a given watts. The average speaker has 88dB sensitivity and good quality speakers can have 93dB sensitivity. You should Pair the speaker of the same sensitivity to get better quality sound.This factor is the most important feature while evaluating best budget car speakers.
5. Power handling ability of the speaker
RMS rating measures how much power a speaker can handle continuously. And peak power handling means any watts above the peak power would likely result in some form of damage to the speaker unit. For example, a speaker rated with 50 watts RMS (root mean square) and 150watts peak power handling. This speaker may be able to handle 150 watts of power in a short burst but for prolong period average deliver power by head unit should be around 50 watts. RMS of the speaker and rated amp of the head unit should match.
6. Ways of speaker
Some speakers are 2 way means they comprise of woofer and tweeter. And some speakers are 3 way means they comprise woofer, tweeter, and mid-range. 3-way speakers have better control over frequency ranges which results in good quality of sound. Now a day 4-way speakers are also available in the market to give the best quality of sound. But 4- way speakers are relatively expensive.
7. Coaxial or component speakers
Mostly speaker installs in cars are Coaxial. In coaxial speakers, the tweeter is mounted on a woofer cone. In this way, minimum space is required for installation. On the other hand, the component speaker has a separate tweeter and woofer so there is a need to mount them separately. Component speakers give better sound quality but difficult to install.
8. Speaker impedance and head unit
Most head unit designs for speaker impedance of 4-16 ohms. Speaker available in the market is rated with 4Ω, 6Ω, 8Ω, and 16Ω. If the impedance of speakers remains in the 4-16 ohms limit then the head unit will be happy. When you connect two speakers of 4Ω impedance with one channel in parallel then overall impedance becomes 2Ω which is not good and if you connect them in series then overall impedance will be 8 Ω which is good. So when you connect more than 2 speakers with one channel then use a combination of parallel and series connection in such a way that overall impedance remains in the 4-16ohms limit.
Keeping in mind all the above features, let’s see all the best budget car speakers in the market right now with there respective pros and cons.
Best Car Speakers Under 50$
Budget speakers below 50$ are very good for film watching and radio transmission listing. These speakers have enough bass that the overall sound quality becomes awesome. But if you want to play music with a deep bass then you have to spend a little more on your car sound system. I categorized budget speakers under 50$ and 100$. Speakers under 100$ are really good to give deep bass sound.
