Are there any car speakers that are factory installed?

There’s no standard for the number of car speakers that are factory-installed in a vehicle. In fact, they seem to get more numerous every year as car makers introduce premium factory sound systems with perks like noise cancellation and simulated engine noise. But for this article, we’ll stick to the basics.

What to look for when replacing car speakers?

When replacing front and rear speakers, a good goal is to have a voice-matched system. That means having the same brand and series of speakers in the front and rear. If you’re on a budget, that doesn’t have to happen all at once.

How many speakers are in the front of a car?

Some vehicles only have two speakers in the front, one per door. They use a full-range design. Other vehicles feature four speakers in the front, two per side. This is typically woofers in the door and a tweeter either higher up in the door or in the corner pillar or dash.

What to look for in a full range speaker system?

In most cases, you simply remove the old speaker, connect the new speaker with a free Crutchfield wiring harness, and mount it. You’ll find full-range speakers at nearly every price point and power range. Component speaker systems use a superior speaker design to give you the best possible sound.
