Pump Up Your Sound System with Car Audio

Maximise the sound potential of your car with new car speakers, a car subwoofer, and a car amplifier. First measure the areas of your car where you want to place your speakers. When you evaluate item listings, make sure each speaker, subwoofer, and amp will fit in your car.
Step up your car speakers

Manufacturers like Pioneer, Sony, Alpine, Kenwood, JL Audio and Clarion deliver a wide range of car speakers, varying in size, price, and power. You can mount them in a variety of places, including the front and/or back of a car, as well as inside car doors.

*

Full-range car speakers: Various speaker parts, usually a woofer and a tweeter, live in one full-range car speaker unit.
*

Component car speakers: Component car speakers keep speaker parts separate, providing better sound quality than full-range speakers.

Car amplifiers

Car amplifiers by manufacturers like Alpine, Pioneer, Kenwood and Sony add to the overall volume of your car audio system, driving your speakers without causing distortion. Whether you prefer Beethoven or Beck, car amps also improve music clarity and detail. Place a car amplifier under a seat, inside your trunk, or in the rear of your car.
Subwoofers

Car subwoofers reproduce very low bass frequencies to provide thumping bass sound. You’ll need an amplifier to drive your subwoofer and a place to install an 8- to 15-inch (20 to 37.5cm) unit. You can mount it in a trunk enclosure, under a seat, or in a side panel or cargo tray.

Subwoofers produced by companies such as Boss, Sony, JL Audio, Pioneer, and Alpine, are usually round, but you may see some square-shaped units on eBay Australia. The larger the subwoofer, the lower the frequency it will produce.

Purchase your subwoofer individually, as part of a multi-speaker system, or with an enclosure.
Install your car speakers

When you look at item listings, make sure the item you want to purchase comes with its original installation documentation. If you need additional guidance, visit the manufacturer’s website. Many companies provide free online installation instructions.

In addition, many in-dash receiver and speaker listings offer a link right in the description to find out whether or not the product will fit your car.

In-dash receiver and car speaker installation is a fairly straightforward process. Consider an installation kit, such as an amp install kit, to help with the more detailed car amplifier and subwoofer installation process.
