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
