8 Best Car Speakers

Key Specs

• Woofer: 6.5 in.
• Midrange: 4 in.
• Tweeter: 1 in.

MB Quart has a long history with audiophiles, and now it has a value-priced system to replace the “speaker separates” in many high-end cars. Instead of a “two-way” design where both a woofer and tweeter fit in the same area, this system offers six individual speakers in three different sizes. So if you have a car that’s wired this way, as some Audis and Mercedes-Benzes are, this is a good choice.

Power handling is a robust 100 watts, up to the demands of most factory-supplied amplifiers.

Whether we’re talking headphones or automotive audio, it’s hard to find people who don’t enjoy the clear, musical, and powerful offerings from French speaker-builder Focal. This complete automotive kit offers five of the firm’s best car speakers plus the amplifiers to push them. Using an interface kit to upgrade your car’s head unit (available for most modern cars for just a few hundred dollars), you can give your automotive audio experience the same kind of power and clarity offered by high-dollar brand-name systems in the finest luxury cars.

Be aware that installation of this system is best done with at least the advice of a professional. It’s also not the loudest choice out here, but the focus is on clarity and quality.
