Silver Member Username: DkchillinVermont Post Number: 204 Registered: Mar-05 | Short version: Component speakers have a seperate tweeter and woofer, generally with an external crossover to direct the proper frequencies to the driver designed to reproduce that frequency range. Example:Alpine Type S Components Coaxial speakers stack the woofer and tweeter together and generally have a far more basic built in crossover. Example: Alpine Type S Coaxials Components offer more flexability and adjustability and nearly always better sound reproduction. Long version: http://www.caraudio.com/forum/showthread.php?t=90412 |

Gold Member Username: AlteraudiousaConcord Post Number: 1106 Registered: Jan-06 | components are good if done corretly. Install plays a big factor into this. Bad imaging or placement and not enough care taken into the installation such as dynamat and such and you'll not have the noticeable difference you may be expecting. |

Gold Member Username: AlteraudiousaConcord Post Number: 1109 Registered: Jan-06 | dynamat everywhere, out metal skin of the door, inner, around the speaker mounting spots, over any gaps on te door, on the door panels. Deadening the door and adding some weight to it helps out alot. Also adding baffles that help eliminate standing waves behind the woofers can help too. |
