10 best 13 cm speakers for cars

13 cm is one of the most common car speaker sizes. Many cars have standard speaker systems with these parameters. As a rule, they are most often located in the front doors and have fairly average sound reproduction characteristics (with the exception of prestigious cars).

Our review presents the best samples of acoustic systems (including component ones) that correspond to this size, and which have already gained popularity among domestic buyers. It was on the basis of their assessments that the rating position of a particular model was finally formed.

TOP 10 best car speakers 13 cm

10 SoundMAX SM-CSE503

Speakers of the budget category, and a priori are not suitable for installation in business-class cars. At the same time, they generate a fairly good sound quality. The tweeter has a pivoting design, which when installed in the front doors can provide better sound. Designed for installation in a car without an amplifier, the SoundMAX SM speakers deliver a maximum output of 120W.

For the manufacture of the diffuser, a Mylar (synthetic mylar film) is used, which allows you to enjoy sound at a low and medium output signal (no more than 55-60 W). This suggests that at maximum volume on the standard device, instead of bass, tearing rales can be heard, which immediately disappear when the volume is lowered. In general, the choice is worth the money spent, and will provide its owner with an acceptable sound of the radio.

9 KENWOOD KFC-1353RG2

The woofer of this speaker is made of polypropylene (by injection molding) and has sufficient strength to not only withstand the audio signal power of 210 W, but also to maintain its performance significantly longer than competing counterparts. The built-in ceramic super-tweeter gives the sound more depth, together with the tweeter, provides good sound separation, reminiscent of more professional (and expensive) audio systems. Even without an amplifier, but with a high-quality radio tape recorder, the speakers are able to make a good impression.

The standard speaker size (13 cm) makes it easy to install them in the regular places of the front doors of the car. Competitions in car audio with these speakers cannot be won, but high-quality sound without acoustic interference will allow you to enjoy listening to your favorite songs.

8 Ural AS-C1327K

Domestic component speakers for a car really were able to surprise - a high-quality second-level crossover and a silk tweeter of the tweeter give a decent depth of sound at mid and high frequencies. Bass thanks to the receiver are more saturated, this effect is especially noticeable when playing sound at low volume.

The midbass (main speaker) exhibits a low resonance frequency and wide dispersion of radiation, in contrast to the tweeter. This allows the speakers to play out the bass efficiently, despite the impossibility of "pulling out" a strong sound at these frequencies. For these purposes, other devices (subs) are used, and for placement in the front doors on standard seats (13 cm), the Ural is excellent.

7 Pioneer TS-R1350S

The 13 cm diameter 3-way speakers fit perfectly into the front doors of most vehicles. The process of their installation does not cause any difficulties, and if desired, the owner can carry it out on his own. The diffuser is made of composite material using mica and multi-sheet layer technology. This greatly increases the strength and prevents the speaker from breaking at peak loads.

Withstands an audio signal power of 250 W, although the nominal value is 35 W - the loudspeakers are designed to work without an amplifier.The sound is produced pure, impurities and extraneous vibrations of the diffuser are absent. Not the last role in gaining popularity among buyers was played by the external, slightly futuristic, design of the speakers.

6 Mystery MC 540

Two-component car speakers give a fairly good sound, which differs from coaxial speakers for the better. You can connect them without an amplifier, to a head unit, but it will not be able to "squeeze" good bass out of the speakers. With the amplifier, the “mid” give a richer sound (as much as possible for a speaker with a size of 13 cm).

The Mystery MC 540 speakers are made soundly, the components are of high quality, despite the Chinese assembly. The tweeter has a silk cone and a neodymium magnetic core for good sound purity, and the midbass uses polypropylene as a membrane to ensure high strength and durability of the speaker, even when used with an amplifier. This design feature allows you to get a sufficiently high-quality sound in the car, while spending the least possible means.

5 Hertz DCX 130.3

Two-way coaxial speakers are standard size (13 cm) and can be installed in the rear and front doors of the vehicle. A ferrite magnet detects the speaker depth at 52mm, so most cars do not need a podium when installed. To prevent the impact of an aggressive environment, a rubber cover is pulled on top of the magnet, and the basket itself is treated with a protective material.

The cellulose damper is impregnated with a special substance that increases vibration resistance. The centrally located high-frequency dome is made of a state-of-the-art heat-resistant polyetherimide material. This configuration produces the clear, rich sound that larger speakers can deliver. The speakers are loud enough, which looks impressive when working with a conventional radio.

4 JBL CS752

JBL car speakers are ideal for installation in front door trousers. They have a high sensitivity (93dB) and a plastic cone with a metal tweeter. Together with the high-quality assembly that is common to all products of the brand, this ensures a longer speaker life, regardless of the nature and intensity of the load.

Having high rigidity, the speakers, nevertheless, reproduce sound of decent quality when working with a head unit without an amplifier. At high volume, the speakers swing quickly and are capable of reproducing reasonably rich bass. At the same time, they are able to withstand a maximum power of 105 watts.

3 Alpine SXE-1325S

This brand is familiar to every motorist - for more than 20 years it has been among the leaders in the automotive acoustics market in terms of sound level. These speakers, which have a standard landing size of 13 cm, are no exception. They are ideal for installation in the front doors of a car and do not require any changes in the seat (podiums).

Despite their rather modest dimensions, coaxial speakers deliver good bass and clear sound. The speakers are designed to work without an amplifier, and at maximum loads, they are naturally locked. The Mylar-titanium cone demonstrates sufficient strength, but high volume will not provide high-quality sound perception - everything should be in moderation.

2 Focal RCX-130

Two-way car speakers, despite their size (13 cm), have excellent rich sound and durability of cones (LF - polypropylene, HF - Mylar). This ensures not only a long service life, but also high-quality operation with a sound amplifier.

A key feature is the inverted tweeter dome, which maintains clarity even at high volumes. Deep bass with sharp transitions does not block - thanks to the elastic suspension, the woofer diffuser works out every vibration efficiently and without interference.

1 MTX T6C502

The manufacturer has won fame in the international market for its high quality acoustic products, and this model is no exception. They can handle a good 220 W load (when connected through an amplifier). Thanks to the fiberglass cone for the woofer, very rich bass is generated. At the same time, the clarity of the sound is maintained at maximum volume, and the mylar tweeter cone emphasizes the excellent clarity of the sound.

Of course, the speakers can be connected without an amplifier, which with a high-quality head unit will also allow you to enjoy the brightness and clarity of sound. At the same time, the service life of the speaker system will significantly increase - the nominal power of the speaker is 55 W and the absence of heavy loads will ensure a long service life.
