Will a Car Audio Speaker Upgrade Make My Stereo Louder?

Speaker Upgrade

Speakers are, by a long way, the most influential component in any audio system when defining performance or quality. Low-quality speakers, or those without specific technologies, can’t match the clarity levels of premium solutions. In addition, many music enthusiasts want their car audio systems to play louder than what’s possible with factory-installed equipment. After all, jamming to your favorite music while going to work or school is a great way to start the day! Is upgrading the speakers the right solution? Let’s look at the physics of loudspeaker efficiency and output capability.

Car Audio Speaker Efficiency

One of the many reasons people ask to upgrade the speakers in their cars and trucks is a desire for the system to play louder. Unfortunately, most high-performance speakers aren’t as efficient as those that the manufacturer provided.

When shopping for speakers, you’ll need to look at the efficiency specification. This number describes the amount of sound a speaker will produce for a given signal from an amplifier. The standard specification describes the speaker’s output in dB SPL at 1 meter from the speaker when powered with 1 watt from an amplifier.

A second standard exists where 2.83 volts are applied to the speaker, and the output is measured at 1 meter. There is nothing wrong with the 2.83-volt rating, except that you have to consider the speaker’s impedance when comparing drivers. For example, a drive level of 2.83 volts equals 1 watt of power when driving an 8-ohm speaker, 2 watts when driving a 4-ohm speaker and 4 watts with a 2-ohm speaker.

The output of a speaker increases or decreases by 3 dB every time the power is doubled or halved. Therefore, be sure you’re comparing like numbers when comparing speaker efficiencies. If no drive level specification is provided, it’s safe to assume the manufacturer will choose the 2.83-volt measurement to produce the highest numbers.

Speaker Upgrade
Audison designed its Prima Series speakers to offer a good efficiency upgrade over the standard solutions that come from the factory.

Are New Car Audio Speakers Going To Be Louder?

A while back, we measured the output of a 6.5-inch speaker from a Honda Civic as part of our series on understanding speaker quality. Our measurements showed that this speaker had an efficiency of 89.04 dB SPL when driven with 1 watt of power and measured at a distance of 1 meter. So how does this number compare to common replacement speakers? First, let’s look at a few examples from Rockford Fosgate. I’ve chosen this brand as it has a variety of offerings and many price points and performance levels.

Starting with its most affordable option, the Prime Series R165X3 has a rated efficiency of 91 dB SPL at 1W/1M. You’d be able to hear this 2-dB increase in output. What if you want a better speaker? It seems logical to move up to one of the Punch Series drivers. The P1650 is a very popular replacement speaker, but it has an efficiency of 88 dB SPL at 1W/1M. Does this mean the speaker isn’t as good? No, it’s simply not as efficient. If you want an even better speaker, then the Power Series T1650 is the next step in the series. This driver also has an efficiency of 88 dB SPL at 1W/1M. So why are the better speakers not louder?

When a transducer engineer is designing speakers, they must balance many characteristics. How efficient will the driver be? How low should it play? How much power can it handle? How much excursion is required? Unfortunately, some of these characteristics oppose each other. A driver of a given size that is intended to play lower frequencies will need a lower resonant frequency. This lower Fs value is usually achieved by increasing the cone’s mass and softening the suspension. The increased mass of the cone assembly decreases the driver’s efficiency. An extreme example of this would be a 6.5-inch subwoofer. A typical 6.5-inch car audio subwoofer has an efficiency of around 80 to 81 dB at 1W/1M.

Speaker Upgrade
Output at 1 watt of power of a 6.5-inch subwoofer (yellow) and a midrange (red).

As you can see, the 6.5-inch midrange driver is much louder at higher frequencies. So, why not use it as a subwoofer? Well, it doesn’t have the power handling or excursion capabilities required to reproduce low-frequency audio and high volume levels. A typical full-range 6.5-inch driver might handle about 50 or 60 watts of power and have a maximum linear cone excursion of roughly 3 millimeters in each direction. An equivalently sized subwoofer might handle 150 watts of power and have 9 to 10 millimeters of excursion capability. Since we know that speakers need to move a lot more air to produce bass, it’s clear that the subwoofer would be louder at lower frequencies.

Speaker Upgrade
If you want your music to be crystal clear and deliver rock concert volume levels, a premium component set like the Rockford Fosgate T4652-S is a perfect choice.

What About PA Speakers?

We have pro audio or PA speakers at the other end of the speaker spectrum. These drivers are designed for applications where the most output possible is required from minimal amounts of power. For example, let’s say you were responsible for setting up the sound system for a Metallica concert in an open-roof stadium. Many of these installations have about a megawatt of power driving the speakers and subwoofers. Assuming 220-volt, 30-amp circuits feed the amplifiers, the sound system would need more than 180 circuits. However, if you could find 3 dB more efficient speakers, you could get the same output for the audience from 90 circuits and half the amplifier power.

PA speakers use designs that trade low-frequency output for increased midrange output. For example, a 6.5-inch PA-style speaker might have an efficiency of 92 or 93 dB at 1W/1M. This would be achieved by lowering the mass of the cone assembly as much as possible. The trade-off would be output at lower frequencies. Unfortunately, many high-efficiency 6.5-inch speakers have an Xmax specification of only 1.5 to 2 millimeters. As a result, they sound horrific when used incorrectly and driven with midbass information in the 80-to-150-hertz range at high levels.

Unlike a car audio system, there’s no need to drive concert midrange drivers down to 80 Hz to help with the perception of bass frequencies sounding as if they’re coming from the front of the vehicle. Instead, the crossover point can be at 150 or 200 hertz, and the system will sound the same to the audience. If you look at the frequency response specification of a concert subwoofer, you’ll find that most are designed to play up to 200 hertz. You may also note that these subwoofers also call for a high-pass filter, or what car audio enthusiasts would call an infrasonic filter at 35 hertz.

Speaker Upgrade
The predicted output of a PA-style speaker (green) compared with a 6.5 midrange (red) and subwoofer (yellow).

As you can see from the graph above, the green trace shows that the speaker is much more efficient in the upper midrange, but at the expense of low-frequency output.

Which Speakers Are Right for My Car Audio System?

In general terms, you have two options for replacement speakers for your car stereo: You can choose from a number of relatively high-efficiency solutions like the X2 speakers from ARC Audio, Prime Speakers from Rockford Fosgate, Prima speakers from Audison or Uno speakers from Hertz. These are great choices if you use a radio with up to about 22 watts of power to drive them.

If you plan on adding an amplifier to your car audio system, your speaker choice might change to something like the ARC Audio ARC Series, the Rockford Fosgate Punch, Sony Mobile ES or Hertz Cento. These speakers can handle more power and have more excursion capability to play louder. With that said, they need more power to reach those output levels. A secondary reward for choosing better speakers is that they are typically clearer and more detailed.

When it’s time to upgrade your car stereo, visit a local specialty mobile enhancement retailer so you can audition the speakers they have on display. Talk to the product specialist about your long-term plans for your audio system, along with your immediate performance improvement goals. They can use this information to select speakers that will meet your expectations.

Product Spotlight: Hertz Capri H100

Though there are dozens, if not hundreds, of marine source unit options on the market, very few are designed with audio performance as their primary consideration. To this end, the Hertz Capri H100 features support for modern high-resolution audio file playback and premium Bluetooth streaming connectivity. Combined with a large color display, this is the marine source to consider for those who care about sound quality. Let’s check it out!

Hertz Capri H100 Design and Features

The H100’s focal point is its large 4.3-inch color TFT IPS display. The In-Plane Switching (IPS) technology dramatically improves off-axis viewing clarity to ensure the displayed information is visible even when the radio is mounted at an angle. Aside from the usual audio source information display, the Capri has a camera input that could help with docking a larger boat.

A rotary volume encoder is located on the left side of the front panel, making control easy and intuitive. Rubberized buttons above and below the control handle source selection, track selection and menu access.

The H100 radio has a slender rear chassis and an oversized face. The face measures roughly seven inches wide and four inches tall. The cutout for the chassis needs to be six by 2.5 inches. The chassis will protrude about 5 inches behind the mounting surface. The front panel has an IP67 rating, so it can handle getting splashed without fear of water damage.

The H100 display features a high-quality color display and intuitive controls.

Source Options

The Capri H100 features an AM/FM receiver with tuner frequency spacing support for countries worldwide. RDS and RDBS information display is also supported, so you can see what track is playing, assuming the station broadcasts that information. The radio will also receive Weather Band information so you can stay up to date with the marine forecast in your area.

If you want the best sound quality from your entertainment system, you must start with the best source. Connecting a USB memory stick with FLAC, WAV or Vorbis files will deliver high-resolution audio playback. You can also play MP3, WMA or AAC files. The radio supports USB memory sticks up to 256 GB in size with as many as 9999 files on the stick.

The Capri H100 isn’t shy about inputs. First, there’s an RCA input that you can use with a media or DVD player. A TOSLINK S/PDIF input also supports 24-bit, 192 kHz audio streams.

Moving down the sound quality food chain takes us to Bluetooth. The Capri is state-of-the-art, supporting LDAC and aptX HD high-resolution formats. If your Android phone supports these transmission types, your music will sound better than the classic AAC protocol. You may have to dig into your phone’s menu to turn these all on. Those of us with an iPhone are stuck with AAC.

The H100 can be upgraded with a SiriusXM SXV300 tuner module and antenna if you want to enjoy genre-specific entertainment. This is a must-have in rural regions without terrestrial radio stations or cell service.

System Connectivity and Expansion

Let’s start by looking at the audio outputs. The built-in four-channel amplifier is rated to produce up to 70 watts of power when driving four two-ohm loads. Continuous ANSI/CTA-2006 compliant output is 26 watts per channel into four four-ohm loads.

The Capri H100 is a multi-zone radio with four sets of stereo and subwoofer RCA outputs rated for four volts RMS. Each stereo output has an optional high-pass filter that can be set to 60, 80 or 100 hertz. The subwoofer outputs have the same low-pass frequencies. There’s also an eight-band graphic equalizer for each of the four zone outputs. Your installer could configure a system for the helm, the main seating area, a front berth and the cabin.

The deck is part of Hertz and Audison’s Full DA HD ecosystem. As such, it features a coaxial S/PDIF output with support for 24-bit, 192 kHz digital audio. If you want to feed a digital signal processor with a clean signal, this connection has you covered.

Hertz Capri H100
The Capri H100 offers four zones of control to ensure everyone on your boat is entertained.

Remote Control Options

The Hertz Capri H100 can be upgraded with your choice of wired remotes to make controlling the radio from around a large boat easier. The optional Capri HD1 mimics the functionality of the main Capri H100 radio and includes the same controls and color display. If you want something more streamlined, the compact HMC U1 remote has source, volume and track selection buttons in a small chassis. The latter would be ideal for a swim platform where its compact size is a big feature.

An NMEA 2000 port on the back of the radio chassis allows you to connect the H100 to a multi-function display.

What you might not have seen coming is the Hertz Marine Control app for your Apple or Android smartphone. You have complete control over all four zones’ source options and volume levels when connected. Your installer can use the app to set crossover points and fine-tune the equalizers as mentioned earlier.

The Capri H100 includes a NMEA 2000 that lets you connect to a multi-function display at the helm.

The Heart of a Premium Marine Audio System

Whether you have a bowrider, wakeboard boat, or want a multi-zone audio system for your cruiser or yacht, the Hertz Capri H100 marine radio is the perfect solution. Combine it with high-quality speakers, amplifiers and subwoofers, and you have entertainment options that are perfect for an evening of dinner and drinks with friends or blasting around the lake with someone on the tow rope.

What to Look for in a Motorcycle Amplifier Upgrade

Motorcycle Amplifier

It should come as no surprise that it takes a moderate amount of amplifier power to reproduce music on a motorcycle that’s audible when on the freeway. So aside from great speakers, you need a high-quality amplifier to ensure that you can hear your music. Here are a few considerations when choosing the ideal motorcycle amplifier upgrade.

Amplifier Efficiency is Crucial

One topic often overlooked when choosing an amplifier for a motorcycle is efficiency. In terms of electrical or electronic systems, efficiency describes the ratio of how much power something consumes to how much it delivers. Electric motors, lights and, most importantly for this conversation, amplifiers all have efficiency specifications.

Amplifier efficiency is essential in motorcycle applications because the electrical system is often quite limited compared with that found in a car or a truck. The stock charging system on many motorcycles is limited to around 32 to 38 amps of current. Harley-Davidson offers upgraded alternator solutions that produce between 45 and 60 amps of current. Remember that the ignition system, lights, radio and bike control module are already consuming current. As a gross generalization, amplifiers consume about 10 amps of current for every 100 watts of power they produce. This doesn’t leave much capacity for a high-power audio system. As such, choosing amplifiers that make the most out of the power they consume is crucial.

When looking at amplifier specifications, the numbers are usually presented in one of two ways: efficiency at maximum power or 1/3 or 1/4 power. A good amplifier should have a total efficiency that’s at least 75% to 80% at full power. The best amplifiers on the market are up to around 90% efficient at full power. Sadly, lots of amps are down around 50% to 60%. These inferior products might be rated well, but being power-hungry means they can’t deliver on their claims.

Motorcycle Amplifier
The ARC Audio Moto 720 is one of the most efficient amplifiers in the mobile electronics industry at over 90% at full power.

Environmental Protection

A second consideration in choosing an amplifier upgrade for your motorcycle is to look for one designed specifically to resist harsh environmental conditions. For example, vibrations from a lumpy V-twin engine can wreak havoc with electronics that aren’t explicitly designed to handle constant physical oscillations. Likewise, if you use your motorcycle for long rides, the probability of running into rain is high. Therefore, you want to choose an amplifier designed to handle the harshest elements without fear of component damage or corrosion.

Motorcycle Amplifier
Rockford Fosgate’s M5-Series Element Ready amplifiers are IPX6 rated, making them watertight.

Adequate Cooling Capacity

When shopping for a reliable motorcycle amplifier, you want to look for a solution with a large enough heatsink that the amplifier can properly manage whatever heat it produces. Physically larger amplifiers have more heat sink mass, making it easier to extract thermal energy from the power supply and output switching MOSFETs in the amp. As a result, an amplifier that runs cooler will last longer than one built to be as small as possible, with minimal consideration for heat management.

Motorcycle Amplifier
The Hertz HMP 4D features an extruded aluminum heatsink with integrated cooling fins to help dissipate heat for reliable operation.

Four Reasons to Have Your Car or Truck Windows Tinted

Window Tint

A person might choose to have the windows on their car or truck tinted for a variety of reasons. No matter why you’re interested in window tint, the team here at BestCarAudio.com strongly recommends that you take your time to pick a shop that’ll do a good job. We’ve seen and dealt with the results of poor-quality films and workmanship, which is quite frustrating. So let’s get to discussing why you might want tinted windows.

Window Tint Looks Cool

One of the most popular reasons for wanting your car or truck windows tinted is for looks. A nice rich, dark tint can make all colors of cars look more dramatic. On the other hand, a dark-colored car with a dark tint can look very sinister. A white car with tinted windows is often described as having a high-contrast “stormtrooper” look. No matter the color, window tint can personalize and add style to your vehicle.

Window Tint
A set of wheels and window tint can dramatically change the look of your car, making it unique.

Window Tint Improves Security

Let’s consider security from two perspectives. First, tinting your windows helps conceal items in your vehicle’s back seat, cargo area or center console. If you have bags from a shopping adventure at the mall or a backpack from school, window tint will force a would-be thief to make a dedicated effort to look through your windows rather than simply seeing everything clearly at a glance.

Window Tint
Tinted windows, especially in a parking garage, can help make it hard for thieves to see personal belongings.

Another benefit of window tint is that the adhesive that holds the film to the glass can help protect you in an accident. In modern vehicles, most side and rear windows are tempered, which means the glass has been heat-treated so that the outer surfaces of the window are under compression while the core is under tension. When the glass breaks, the imbalance causes the entire pane to break into tiny pieces that cause less injury and damage than large shards of glass. If your windows are tinted, the small pieces of glass will tend to stick to the film, further reducing your chances of injury. The result is similar to the laminated glass used for windshields.

Window Tint
A tinted side or rear window behaves similarly to a laminated windshield and stays together when it’s broken, reducing the chances of injury.

Window Tint Offers Protection

Window tint offers significant additional protection to the vehicle and its occupants. Almost all window films with a visible light transmission rating of 55% or darker block at least 97% of the ultraviolet rays from the sun. According to the American Cancer Society, prolonged exposure to UV rays can cause premature skin aging, wrinkling, liver spots and leathery skin. UV rays are also hard on our eyes and can weaken our immune system. Therefore, if you spend significant time in your vehicle daily, having the windows tinted with even a 50% VLT tint can dramatically reduce your exposure.

Window Tint
Window tint can help protect you and your passengers from harmful UV rays.

UV energy isn’t just hard on our bodies, but it’s also hard on the leather, plastics and fabrics in the interior of our vehicles. You’ve likely seen pictures of cars with cracked plastic dash covers, faded seats and dried-out leather. UV rays from the sun cause the majority of this damage. You can make your vehicle last longer and look better by tinting the windows with a film that blocks UV energy.

These gray seats were once bright blue. The UV rays from the sun have caused them to fade.

Window Tint Can Help Keep You Cool

If you live in the South, you’re probably aware that upgrading your car or truck with a high-quality window tint film can help keep it much cooler. The infrared energy from the sun heats the earth and all the objects on the surface. This is the same heating as those red heat lamps you might see at a classic burger joint that keeps your fries warm or that you might use at home to keep your pet Larry the Lizard warm. Having the windows of your vehicle tinted with a high-quality ceramic or metallic film can reduce the transfer of this heat energy into the interior by as much as 70%. The benefit is that getting into your car or truck on a hot day won’t feel like stepping into an oven.

Window Tint
Infrared energy from the sun provides heat in the same way that an infrared lamp keeps baby chicks or a pet lizard warm.

Upgrade Your Vehicle Today!

No matter why you want your windows tinted, we suggest shopping around for an expert mobile enhancement retailer that will take the time to explain the film solutions they offer and then install it thoughtfully and carefully. Investing in quality materials and workmanship will help ensure that your vehicle is comfortable and looks great.

Product Spotlight: DroneMobile XC Connected Dashcam Security System

DroneMobile XC

Thieves frequently target vehicles from Hyundai, Kia, Toyota, Lexus, RAM, Chevrolet, and Honda. These vehicles are often stolen for their parts or exported overseas. Well-integrated anti-theft systems like those from Compustar greatly reduce the chances that a thief will drive off in your vehicle. However, vehicle owners have long sought the ability to monitor their vehicle and its surroundings using their smartphone. The DroneMobile XC connected dash cam is the perfect solution. Let’s check it out!

What is DroneMobile?

DroneMobile is a smartphone interface created by Firstech, the parent company of Compustar and Arctic Start. DroneMobile allows you to use an app on your smartphone to communicate with, monitor and control your vehicle from almost anywhere on the planet. If the shock sensor on your Compustar alarm is triggered, the DroneMobile app will notify you within seconds. If someone opens a door, you’ll get an alert. If a thief is trying to cut off a catalytic converter, you’ll know about it.

DroneMobile hardware works with a remote car starter or security system to add smartphone control. Door lock, trunk release, and, when applicable, remote starter activation are as simple as tapping the screen of your Android-based smartphone or iPhone. The communication is bidirectional, so you’ll be advised when the command is executed. This feedback lets you know the car is locked and safe in your driveway for the evening.

DroneMobile XC is the only dash cam we’ve reviewed that offers this level of functionality and integration with aftermarket remote start or alarm systems.

DroneMobile XC
With a DroneMobile and a Compustar remote car starter, you can lock, unlock, or remote start your car or truck from anywhere your phone has cellular or Internet service.

GPS Locating Services

The DroneMobile system offers services at various feature levels. The basic package provides door lock and remote start control. You also get security alerts from an optional (but highly recommended) DAS-II security sensor. This means that impact, motion, or tilting will result in a nearly instant phone notification. You can also monitor the temperature inside the vehicle and keep an eye on battery voltage.

Upgrading to one of the Premium plans adds location-based alerts and monitoring. If the system reports that your vehicle has moved from where you parked it without authorization, you can tap the map screen to view its current location. You can set Geofences around specific areas to monitor usage. Several of the top programs include full breadcrumb trail tracking with turn-by-turn updates.

DroneMobile XC
GPS-based locating services allow you to monitor the location of your vehicle at any time.

High-Speed Communication

One of DroneMobile’s best features is its speed. Factory-installed smartphone control systems, such as MyMazda, can take more than 30 seconds to relay a command to the vehicle. It’s incredibly frustrating to have to wait that long. DroneMobile uses the fastest LTE services and Amazon cloud servers to execute a command in a second or two. Often, they can be faster than a key fob remote control. That’s truly impressive.

Live Video Feed

What makes the DroneMobile XC so special is its integrated camera system. It includes a Sony Starvis 2K QHD camera that monitors everything in front of the vehicle while you are driving. Videos are stored on an included 64GB microSD memory card.

What sets the XC apart from other dashcams is that it can use the onboard LTE modem to transmit video to the DroneMobile app on your smartphone. Using artificial intelligence, your phone can warn you when someone walks in front of your vehicle. You can turn on the video feed to see who is lurking around your vehicle. You can even speak with them. If it’s the neighbor kids, you can ask them to be careful around your pride and joy. If it’s someone more nefarious, you can alert them that the police have been notified and that the vehicle is being tracked.

The DroneMobile XC features many of the same capabilities as the DAS-II security sensor. So, impact, tilt, motion or glass breakage will immediately trigger an alert.

DroneMobile XC
The DroneMobile XC allows you to see what the camera sees in real time.

DroneMobile XC Installation

The DroneMobile XC mounts to the front windshield and can be mostly hidden behind the rearview mirror. It starts recording video as soon as the vehicle is started. Your DroneMobile retailer can add the optional RC1 rear camera to capture what’s happening behind your car or truck as you drive. Another option is the IR1 interior camera. A second camera capturing what’s happening inside the vehicle is a wise investment if you drive a taxi, limousine, Uber, Lyft, or other rideshare service. The IR1 includes infrared LEDs, so it can see in the dark without lighting up the interior. Only one additional camera can be added to the DroneMobile XC.

For the DroneMobile XC to control your vehicle, you need a remote car starter or security system from Compustar or one of its sister products. This system must be integrated into your car or truck to monitor door locks, the hood, trunk and ignition. If you want remote starter features, then a controller with remote start functionality and a vehicle data interface will be required.

A local authorized DroneMobile and Compustar retailer can tell you the total cost of the system, including professional installation and configuration. Likewise, they can review the prices for the DroneMobile XC service plans to help you choose an option that provides the features you desire.
