A SPEAKER IS ACTUALLY A LINEAR MOTOR. THINGS THAT MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN SPEAKER QUALITY. Among important things to remember when evaluating speakers, is to be sure to compare the right sorts of claims. Some manufacturers specify weight for the magnet only, while others weigh the entire magnet structure, which may be up to twice the weight of the magnet proper.

http://www.stereotechnicalinformation.com/education/speakers/whatsdual.htm
Some factory installed and replacement auto source speakers are of the dual cone type. Sometimes also referred to as a full-range speaker, it uses an inexpensive, but efficient design. The small whizzer cone attached to the center of the main cone extends the high frequency range, but not with the wide dispersion or intensity of a separate tweeter driver. The main advantage of such speakers lie in their low cost. Dual-Voice-Coil Or Dual-Channel Speakers. Great care should be taken in making connection fr...

Installation Tips For Stereo Amplifiers | Car Audio Amp installation | Installing An Amplifier
http://www.stereotechnicalinformation.com/education/amplifiers/practicaltips.htm
Practical Tips For Installing An Amplifier. Dress the positive red wire directly from the battery to your amplifier. Position the wiring through the vehicle so it is not crimped, nor likely to be disturbed. Avoid drilling holes in the frame. Most of the time, you can find pre-existing holes in which to run and attach wiring. Holes in the frame can cause cracks to form over time. If you must drill a hole, drill it close to the center, rather than the edge of the member. For the best system integrity, it ...

http://www.stereotechnicalinformation.com/education/speakers/whatsmid.htm
Dispersion - the extent to which a sound emitter yields acoustic radiation over a given area - is a particular concern in midrange speakers, whose portion of the audio spectrum has a much more directional character than woofers. Midrange drivers mounted in enclosures with woofers will usually have a closed back design, to prevent interference from the woofer's internal backwave. Such interference is usually a source of intermodulation (IM) distortion.

Understand of course, that no capacitor is a substitute for an adequate amplifier to provide the amount of bass energy you want to project. Nor will it substitute for an inadequate car power supply. You may have to install a stronger alternator if you have one of the more powerful systems. The rest of your system must also be up to spec to serve that purpose. Charging with a Resistor:. All the capacitors we sell, come with instructions for connection; follow them exactly.
