Size
The size of the speakers of the acoustic system; in speakers with different driver sizes (component and coaxial, see "Type"), the size is determined by the diameter of the largest (woofer) driver. The size of the speaker determines primarily its ability to work with low frequencies. It is believed that acoustics up to 4 "is practically not suitable for low frequencies (regardless of the frequency range), 5-6" refers to the average level, and speakers of
6" or more even allow you to do without a subwoofer. Also, the size affects the installation options. So , some cars may provide seats for acoustics of a certain size — this limits the choice.And for large acoustics, there may not always be a place in cars with cramped interiors.
Rated power
Rated power of the speaker system. Most often, the average (rms) sound power is indicated as the nominal one.
The most obvious point associated with this characteristic is sound volume: the more powerful the sound system, the louder the sound it can produce, all other things being equal. In addition, compatibility with an external amplifier depends on this indicator: its power should not exceed the power of the sound system, otherwise overloads and damage to the speakers are possible.
Max. power
The maximum power of a short-term (up to several seconds) incoming signal that the speaker can withstand without physical damage. Just like the nominal power, it matters for the selection of acoustics for an amplifier (or vice versa): it is believed that the maximum power of the speakers should be at least 2 times higher than the maximum power of the signal source.
Tweeter diameter
The diameter of the tweeter (speakers) provided in the design of the speaker.
The diameter affects the amount of space needed to install the speaker. However, large cones are not needed for high frequencies, so this dimensions is usually small and does not really affect the overall dimensions of the speaker. The only exception is separate tweeter tweeters (see "Type"), where the overall dimensions of the cabinet are directly related to the dimensions of the cone.
Midrange speaker diameter
The diameter of the midrange speaker(s) provided in the speaker. Midrange in this case may also mean a combined woofer/midrange speaker or an emitter of broadband acoustics (see "Type").
The size of the midrange speaker is often a key parameter that determines the overall dimensions of the acoustics and, accordingly, the requirements for its installation location. Exceptions can only be found among models with separate woofers (see below). But from the point of view of acoustics, a larger size allows you to achieve higher power and richer sound, including on bass.
