Why Upgrade Factory Speakers?
Most OEM speakers are designed to:
- Meet cost requirements
- Survive warranty periods
- Produce acceptable sound
They are rarely optimized for:
- Clarity
- Detail
- Bass response
- Volume capability
Common factory speaker problems include:
- Distorted vocals
- Weak midrange
- Missing bass
- Buzzing noises
- Cracked speaker surrounds
Which means even the best playlist can sound disappointing.
Extended Voice Coil Technology
One of the standout features of the CS-Series:
EVC (Extended Voice Coil)
This design helps provide:
- Increased cone control
- Better efficiency
- Improved bass response
- Enhanced overall output
The result is deeper and more controlled low-frequency performance compared to many factory speakers.
No, they won’t replace a subwoofer.
But they will make stock speakers sound significantly less embarrassing.
By drastically reducing the mounting depth, CS-Series Coaxial and Three-Method Speakers will have compatibility in just about each make and model of car at the road nowadays.
Excellent Factory Radio Compatibility
The CS-Series performs exceptionally well with:
Factory Head Units
- Improved clarity
- Better bass response
- Increased efficiency
Aftermarket Radios
- Enhanced output
- Greater detail
- Improved dynamics
Small Amplifiers
- Additional volume
- Better speaker control
- Stronger overall performance
This flexibility makes the CS-Series one of the most popular speaker upgrades on the market.
The easiest upgrade out of your factory sound, a stamped-steel framework supports a rigid polypropylene cone and 0-protrusion PEI tweeters.
Polypropylene Cone Construction
The CS-Series utilizes:
- Rigid polypropylene cones
Benefits include:
- Lightweight operation
- Excellent durability
- Moisture resistance
- Accurate frequency response
Unlike traditional paper cones, polypropylene resists:
- Heat
- Humidity
- Age-related deterioration
Which is important because dashboards spend summers attempting to recreate surface temperatures found on Mercury.
PEI Tweeter Design
The zero-protrusion PEI tweeter helps produce:
- Crisp vocals
- Detailed highs
- Improved instrument separation
- Smooth treble response
Without creating harsh listening fatigue.
Because nobody enjoys tweeters that sound angry.
Shallow Mounting Depth
One major advantage of the 46CSC44:
- Reduced mounting depth
This allows fitment in:
- Cars
- Trucks
- SUVs
- Jeeps
- Classic vehicles
Many vehicles with limited installation space can accommodate these speakers without modification.
Which saves both installation time and frustration.
UV-treated poly-foam surround resists heat or direct sunlight
Neodymium tweeter magnets allow for increased volume in high frequencies
