Car Audio Speaker Placing Tips
Creating a quality audio system requires more than just good speakers. In order to create a well-balanced soundstage, the speakers need proper placement-not always an easy task when dealing with the tight spaces of modern cars. Many times audio teams relegate themselves to modifying the factory placements for better imaging. One way to do this is building new door panels, which is a pretty complicated endeavor. There are, however, more simple methods of achieving this goal.
Depending on the vehicle, there are options using factory panels or grilles. But for modern cars, they use the factory door speaker grilles as a base for their pods. By modifying the factory panels, they can change the directional imaging of the speakers, creating a well-balanced soundstage. The one above is a great sample of a modern cars’ speaker pod.
