Midrange speakers for cars vocals, impact, and high-output car audio

Discover our selection of midrange and midbass car speakers: 10, 13, 16.5, 20, 25, and 30 cm, from Hi-Fi systems to high-power car audio SQL, Show Car, and SPL installations.

CAR AUDIO MIDRANGE SPEAKER

The heart of your speaker system

The midrange speaker reproduces an essential part of the musical spectrum, including vocals and many instruments. In high-output installations, it also helps achieve plenty of presence and volume between the bass section and the tweeters.

16.5 cm 6.5 inches
20 cm 8 inches
25 cm 10 inches
30 cm 12 inches
MORE VOCALS • MORE IMPACT

Build a truly powerful car audio system

The subwoofer provides the bass, the tweeter completes the highs and the midrange speakers provide much of the musical energy in between. Choosing them is therefore essential to achieve a balanced, dynamic system capable of keeping up with a powerful subwoofer section.

Vocals & instruments An essential area of musical reproduction.
High output Models suited for powerful installations.
Wide selection From small midrange speakers to 30 cm high-power models.
CHOOSE BY DIAMETER

16.5 cm, 20 cm, 25 cm, or 30 cm midrange?

Diameter influences the radiating surface area, space requirements, and available uses. It should be chosen based on the complete system rather than simply looking for the largest speaker.

16.5 cm / 6.5" Very common size
20 cm / 8" High output
25 cm / 10" Large surface area
30 cm / 12" Powerful systems

Midrange 16.5 cm / 6.5"

16.5 cm is one of the most common sizes in car audio. Compact and versatile, it is available in both relatively musical models and high-output speakers designed for powerful systems.

Midrange 20 cm / 8"

Very popular in SQL and Show Car installations, the 20 cm midrange offers more radiating surface area and is available in many power levels and designs.

Midrange 25 cm / 10"

25 cm speakers make it possible to build large midrange or midbass sections. They are particularly common in projects seeking a lot of output and impact.

Midrange 30 cm / 12"

30 cm models are designed for installations where a large radiating surface area and high volume levels are desired. They should not be confused with 12-inch subwoofers.

MIDRANGE • MIDBASS • MIDBASS

What is the difference between midrange and midbass?

Terminology varies by manufacturer. A midrange speaker is primarily designed for midrange frequencies, while a midbass speaker is generally designed to go lower into the upper bass and provide more kick.

However, there is no universal crossover frequency: always use the manufacturer's operating range and recommendations to set up your system.

RMS POWER

Midrange speakers from 60 W to over 300 W RMS

Our catalog includes many power levels to suit both a simple installation and a high-power car audio system.

60–100 W RMS Versatile installations
100–150 W RMS Powerful car audio
150–250 W RMS High output
300 W RMS+ High power
A 300 W RMS midrange speaker is not automatically louder than a 150 W RMS model.

Power handling alone does not indicate volume level. Sensitivity, cone area, frequency response, amplification, filtering, and installation also play a major role in the final result.

SENSITIVITY • OUTPUT • SPL

For a powerful system, also look at sensitivity

Show Car, SQL, and SPL installations often use high-output midrange speakers to achieve high volume levels with the available power.

When comparing several models, therefore do not look only at the RMS Watts. Sensitivity and the conditions under which it is measured are also important.

MIDRANGE + TWEETER + SUBWOOFER

Build a complete system

In a multi-way installation, each speaker must operate in a range suited to its design. Filtering allows frequencies to be correctly distributed between subwoofers, woofers, midrange speakers, and tweeters.

Subwoofer

It reproduces the lowest part of the system. Its operating range must be correctly connected with the upper drivers.

Midbass / Woofer

It can provide the transition between the bass and midrange and deliver the kick desired in certain installations.

Midrange

It reproduces much of the vocals and instruments and plays a major role in the system's presence.

Tweeter

It completes the system in the high frequencies and must be correctly filtered to work with the midrange speakers.

ACTIVE FILTERING • DSP • AMPLIFIER

Filtering is essential

A midrange speaker does not necessarily need to receive the entire audio spectrum. A high-pass filter, for example, can limit very low frequencies, while a low-pass can be used to make the transition with the tweeter.

Crossover frequencies and slopes must be adapted to the model used. A DSP allows you to go further with precise filtering, equalization, and delay settings.

Note: 20, 25, or 30 cm does not automatically mean "subwoofer".

A large-diameter speaker can be designed specifically to operate as a midrange, midbass, or woofer. Diameter is therefore not enough to determine its frequency range or use.

BUYER'S GUIDE

How to choose your midrange speakers?

Start by defining the role of the speaker in your installation and the desired volume level.

✓ Diameter — 10, 13, 16.5, 20, 25, or 30 cm
✓ RMS Power — match the amplification
✓ Sensitivity — important for high output
✓ Impedance — check the amp's load
✓ Frequencies — check the usable range
✓ Filtering — HPF / LPF / DSP depending on the system

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

FAQ – Car Audio Midrange Speakers

What is a midrange speaker used for?

It reproduces an important part of the midrange frequencies, especially vocals and many instruments.

What is the difference between midrange and midbass?

A midbass speaker is generally designed to go lower into the upper bass and produce more kick. However, the exact ranges depend on each model.

Which diameter should I choose: 16.5 or 20 cm?

It depends on the available space, the desired frequency range, and the required output. 16.5 cm is very versatile, while 20 cm offers more radiating surface area.

Is a 25 or 30 cm midrange a subwoofer?

Not necessarily. Some 25 or 30 cm speakers are specifically designed as midrange or midbass speakers and operate higher in frequency than a subwoofer.

What amplifier power is needed for a midrange speaker?

Compare the speaker's RMS power with the power delivered by the amplifier at the correct impedance, then set the gain and filtering correctly.

Should a midrange speaker be filtered?

Yes, in most multi-way installations. The crossover frequencies and slopes should be adapted to the manufacturer's recommendations and the complete system.

Which midrange should I choose for SPL or a Show Car?

Look especially at sensitivity, power handling, frequency range, and the model's ability to operate at the desired volume level.

Can I install several midrange speakers on the same amplifier?

Yes, if the wiring produces an impedance compatible with the amplifier and if it has enough power for all the speakers.

Should I add tweeters with midrange speakers?

In many systems, yes. Tweeters allow you to complete the high frequencies that the midrange is not designed to reproduce effectively.
