When it comes to car audio systems, there are varieties of different kinds of speakers that must be joint for best quality sound.

Multi-Element – This type of speakers also known as coaxial speakers, multi-elements hold two different types of speakers that are built into one. A big cone (woofer) makes the low-range frequencies and round about 3 small cones (tweeters) control the high-pitched frequencies. The number of rudiments or components that are built into the speaker decides the number of "ways" the speaker is classified. For example, a car stereo speaker with a large cone (woofer) at the back and two small cones (tweeters) in the front would categorize as a "3-way" speaker.

Mid-Bass/Midrange – The Midrange speakers are usually designed and intended to pick up and reproduce the middle and some lower bass frequencies. Midrange speakers enhance the frequency of middle range and make sound better.

Component Speakers – The Component speakers are tweeters and horn-loaded compression drivers. They are designed to reproduce the high-pitch frequencies in your music. A tweeter above 25 kHz is considered a super-tweeter.
