FAQ – Speaker Components

What are speaker components?

Speaker components are the individual parts that make up a sound system:

  • Woofers for low frequencies
  • Tweeters for high frequencies
  • Horns or coaxial drivers for precise sound projection

They let you build or repair loudspeakers to fit your preferred sound — for PA systems, studios, or home audio setups.

What speaker sizes are available?

At MUSIC STORE you’ll find components ranging from 5.25″ to 21″:

  • Small (5–8″): for compact speakers or monitors
  • Medium (10–12″): for general-purpose sound systems
  • Large (15–21″): for powerful bass and live performance setups
What does impedance mean?

Impedance represents the electrical resistance of a speaker — typical values include:

  • 4 ohms – for higher output
  • 8 ohms – standard for most systems
  • 16 ohms – used in specialized configurations

Always match your speaker’s impedance with the amplifier’s output to prevent damage or performance loss.

How do I choose the correct power rating (watts)?

The power rating indicates how much load a speaker can handle safely:

  • 200–500 W: smaller venues or rehearsal spaces
  • 500–1000 W: typical stage applications
  • 1000 W+: outdoor events or large venues

Make sure your speaker can handle at least as much power as your amplifier delivers.

What’s the difference between woofers, tweeters, and full-range speakers?
  • Woofers: reproduce low-end frequencies and bass
  • Tweeters: deliver high-end clarity and detail
  • Full-range speakers: cover the complete frequency range — ideal for smaller or self-contained systems
What are horns used for?

Horns help direct and amplify sound efficiently:

  • Provide focused sound coverage
  • Ideal for large rooms, halls, or outdoor systems
  • Achieve higher sound pressure levels with the same amplifier power
What are coaxial speakers?

Coaxial speakers integrate a woofer and a tweeter along the same axis:

  • Provide accurate, time-aligned sound reproduction
  • Perfect for stage monitors, installations, or compact PA systems
Can I replace or repair speaker components myself?
  • Yes — many speaker systems are modular in design
  • Use matching impedance, power handling, and dimensions
  • For complex repairs, contact the MUSIC STORE service department
What accessories are available for speaker components?

Available accessories include:

  • Gaskets and protective grilles
  • Mounting rings, screws, and acoustic damping materials
  • Crossovers and replacement diaphragms

Ideal for building custom loudspeakers or maintaining existing setups.
