10 Best Car Speakers UK 2024 | Pioneer, Kenwood and More

You'll notice that the price of these speakers sits considerably higher than the others in this list. That's because these are premium car speakers, built by expert engineers with the highest quality materials. One of these materials is Focal's patented 'Flax' fibres, which they believe offers superior sound quality. 

These speakers, with their ability to handle high power and deliver deep bass without sacrificing sound quality, certainly bolster that claim. In this case, you really do get what you pay for, and it's completely worth shelling out the extra money if you can afford it.

With this 2-way speaker set, Kicker have managed to achieve the enviable feat of a sound system that handles both low and high frequencies with ease. Its extended voice coil technology enables impressive bass performance, while its lightweight tweeters possess impeccable clarity.

They're easy to install too, with their compact design able to fit into a wide variety of cars. They're slightly pricier than the competition, but they're head and shoulders above when it comes to quality. 

These speakers are designed to deliver excellent sound quality, even at high power levels. Their robust design is truly something to behold, with some impressive innovations, including the use of square, rather than round, coils to eliminate unnecessary space and improve sound response.

Their quality speakers mean that Alpine are becoming an increasingly big player in the car speaker market. This set is more expensive than similarly-priced alternatives by Pioneer and Sony, but the build quality is far superior, and that makes it worth spending the extra few pounds. 

If you're one of the initiated, you'll know that JBL are no strangers to car speakers, producing models to suit all vehicles and budgets. We're particularly fond of their Club 6520 speakers, which are a well-rounded, mid-range set that offers worthy competition to similarly-price alternatives.

They're robustly built and equipped with UV-resistant polypropylene woofers, and they possess a frequency range varied enough to confidently handle a variety of music genres while maintaining clarity and a decent bass end. They're not the cheapest, but they won't disappoint!

It's immediately apparent just from looking at them that these speakers, from industry legends Rockford Fosgate, have been built with quality in mind. Take for example, the dedicated piezo tweeter, which is mounted on a silk dome pole, or the bass woofer, which is insulated with rubber for improved sound quality.

Their three-way arrangement also makes them pretty great at distributing different sound frequencies, resulting in natural-sounding, distortion-free audio. The bass isn't anything to call home about, but in every other way, these speakers are great value for money.

Boss are renowned for their impressive audio products, and there's a level of quality immediately apparent in this speaker set. Built to last, the woofer is polymer-injected for durability and rubber coated for improved sound dampening, while the aluminium voice coil ensures that the speakers continue to perform, even in hot temperatures.

Their high power makes them especially suited to those using high power amps, but with one caveat! Despite what the inclusion of piezo-electric tweeters would have you believe, these speakers don't handle high frequencies as well as some slightly pricier alternatives. 

If you've done even a little bit of browsing for car speakers, you've probably come across Pioneer. Their popularity in the world of car audio means they're hard to miss. For starters, they're incredibly easy to install straight out the box, meaning you won't need to pay any extra installation fees. 

Their sound quality is incredibly versatile too. The mica-layered woofer cone provides excellent mid-range frequencies, making these speakers pretty well suited to all types of music. Bass hunters might be slightly disappointed but, for the price, this is an impressive pair of speakers. 

Sony are famous the world over, and these speakers sucessfully create balanced, full-frequency audio by distributing sound between a woofer and a dome tweeter. The result is rich vocals and clarity across the mid and upper ranges - qualities that suit all genres of music.

Unfortunately, it's at the lower end that these speakers disappoint. This is because there's definitely a distinct lack of punch in the bass. They're undoubtedly a decent place to start, but those looking for impressive thumps are likely to be left wanting more. 

Anyone that knows anything about car audio knows Kenwood. Their popular KFC-PS1795 model comprises a 6.5 inch paper cone woofer that offers superior, rubber-diffused bass tones, with a much smaller, 4cm tweeter, for handling the higher frequencies. The result is a coaxial speaker with clear sound across all frequencies, whether it's treble or bass.

Their eye-pleasing design doesn't look too shabby either, and suggests a much pricier set of speakers. One thing to bear in mind, however, is their high RMS Power, which makes them better suited to head units with higher powered channels.

JVC are a highly respected brand and their CS-J620X speakers are perhaps the best budget car speakers currently available, easily outstripping similarly-priced alternatives when it comes to quality. They're easy to install straight out of the box, meaning you'll be enjoying superior sounding tunes in a matter of hours. 

Both speakers combined, they possess a modest peak output of 300 watts and an RMS Power of 30 watts. Sure, they'll be blown out of the water by more expensive alternatives, but for the price, this is a pretty great pair of speakers!
