Alpine Electronics was founded in 1967 in Tokyo, Japan as part of the Japanese Alps Electric Co, which jointed with Motorola for the new name in a new country. It currently sells navigation and audio systems for cars. Alpine, although currently not the leading company in the car audio industry, has produced many lines of successful car subwoofers, all under $300 (with the exception of a couple of lines). The looks of the subwoofers are of note. Customers have reported that Alpine subwoofers are made so both sides look fantastic. One has even rated the clean look as a weakness, as a simple installation “will not visually do it justice”.

One of the more popular lines in the Alpine company, the Type-R series is also the largest: it has seven subwoofers compared to the three or four the other lines have. The Type-R series is composed of 10-inch, 12-inch, and 15-inch woofers. Alpine has really packed a whole lot into those inches, because there’s power, yet it doesn’t hurt like other subwoofers that sacrifice sound quality for strength. The two 15 inch products in the Type-R line are the only ones priced over $300, but that’s not to say they aren’t worth it. The entire line is priced as it should be, because high quality 15-inch subwoofers are actually quite difficult to find; most tend to stick to 10 and 12 inches. An owner of an SWR-1242D subwoofer (12 inches, part of the Type-R series) said that sound could be heard from the car from 2 miles away. He parked his car in a gas station and even made the shelves shake. You can get the 10-inch Type-R series for $200, the 12-inch for $220, and the 15-inch for $400.

Rockford Fosgate, founded in 1973, used to be one of the leading companies in the car audio industry. Since then, it has fallen to simply become a major brand, letting their competitors take the reigns as the more innovative brands on the market. Rockford Fosgate focuses on amplifiers, but sell a variety of different audio equipment, whether it belongs on a car or not.

Mitsubishi recently began using the Fosgate sound systems in their new models, despite the lack of industry status that Rockford Fosgate as taken on. In any case, this just proves that their products have not fallen off of the shelves in any way, and that they will continue to be a reliable brand.

Hifonics was first set up in 1981, November to be exact. Helmut Stieglitz, the man behind the first trades of Hifonics, decided on a very interesting concept that would put the first faces to the Hifonics company. Instead of using simple number and letter combinations to denote series and models, Hifonics borrows the names of Greek, Teutonic, Roman, and Egyptian gods to use in order to create a memorable name that wouldn’t be confused (like, say the 700 series versus 800 series). This has certainly paid off, because some series, like the Hifonics Zeus subwoofer series, are easy to remember. Hifonics is now owned by Maxxsonics, which continues to win numerous SPL wars.

Team Maxxsonics, as mentioned, consistently places in the top rankings for their sound pressure levels. They have won so many competitions using their strategies and products. As Hifonics has fallen into the hands of the Maxxsonics team, the company will absolutely continue to produce better car audio equipment aimed to pack as much power into a consumer model (rolling around in a competition car wouldn’t be too fun, some of them can’t even drive!) as possible while maintaining a low cost to make things affordable. Mr. Stieglitz certainly picked the best team to hand over his creations to, because we’re going to see some good things come out of Hifonics in the future.

In any car audio system, the subwoofer must absolutely be present. It might not sound important at first, but if you remove the subwoofer component, there’s no bass left. A subwoofer by definition is a loudspeaker dedicated to producing low frequency sounds. Have you ever heard the booming beat screaming from a car? That’s the subwoofer at work. Of course, it’s turned past what the average car owner would have it at.

The top companies you’ll want to look for if you want to upgrade your car subwoofer are JL Audio, MTX Audio, and Kicker. These three are leading the car audio industry, all with early origins. JL Audio’s W7 line is one of the most advanced and most powerful subwoofer lines available on the market (pricey, but well worth it if you care about the quality). MTX Audio has released an amazing 60-inch subwoofer that holds the record for the size. They also have the largest consumer subwoofer that measures at 22 inches. Kicker’s L7 seems to be the best from the Kicker lineup, and there’s no reason why it shouldn’t be. Continue reading ‘Car Stereo Subwoofers: An Essential Car Audio Component’ »

When it comes to loud pounding bass the big secret is that the quality of your speaker box is more important than the quality of your sub woofers. With your vehicle’s sub woofer box, bigger is not always better. However, you do not want your subwoofer box to be too small either. Why is proper sizing of the sub woofer box so important? Because proper sizing allows for proper placement in your vehicle, proper placement means that you and your passengers will all enjoy the same high quality sound from your stereo whether sitting in the front, back or on the left or right.

subwoofer enclosures allow you to upgrade your car stereo system without detracting from the appearance of your car or truck. Many people have great ideas about upgrading or even building a custom stereo system, but think they’ll have to sacrifice looks to get the sound. Continue reading ‘Subwoofer Enclosures’ »
