Dual-Cone Speakers
Many factory installed auto speakers are of the dual cone type. Sometimes also referred to as a "full-range" speaker, it uses an inexpensive, efficient design. The small "whizzer" cone in the center of the woofer reproduces high frequencies, but not with the dispersion or intensity of a separate tweeter. The main advantgage of such speakers lie in thier low cost.

Dual-Voice-Coil Or Dual-Channel Speakers
These are woofers with separate two voice coils mounted to a cylender connected to a common cone. These can connected to separate amplifiers in order to produce a common bass of two channels through a single woofer. Since bass has a non-directional character, this still permits the optimum reproduction of the stereo image in the other speakers. Care should be taken in making connection to observe proper polarities, however. Failure to do so can result in the quick extinction of the driver if the amplifiers are pulling the cone in different directions at once.

Tools - Choosing The Right Tools For The Job

Welcome to our educational section on speakers/drivers. You will note throughout this section that speakers are often referred to as "drivers," because this is actually the correct term. The term "speaker" is traditionally meant to describe what you may think of as a cabinet or system with speakers/drivers built in, whereas the term "driver" refers to an individual speaker. In some cases, speaker/drivers may also be referred to as "emitters" or "transducers," both technically correct terms. If you have any trouble understanding any term used in this or any other section, please refer to our Glossary , and if you can't find the term you are looking for there, please e-mail us by clicking here.

Below we have added links to the pages in the Speaker section, but if you ever need to get from one place to another, all these links, plus links for the entire site, are available on the right and left navigation bars.
