About the Audiofrog GB15
A big splash
A big splash
If you haven't heard of Audiofrog yet, here's what you need to know – there's no one like them. We know, because we put their speakers to the test, side by side with some of the most celebrated car speakers in car audio. Track after track, with music that spanned many genres, Audiofrog's speakers made our jaws drop.
It's no coincidence. Audiofrog was founded by car audio veterans, who have been on the front lines of audio innovation for 30 years and have a rich, colorful history of crafting award-winning, custom car installations. Drawing on that substantial experience and their practical knowledge of what makes a great speaker, Audiofrog has created a no-nonsense, high-quality car audio line. While their speakers will fit into a large number of vehicles, Audiofrog's emphasis is definitely on custom installations.
Audiofrog provides versatile mounting solutions for flush and behind-the-panel installation.
The toughest tweeters in town
Audiofrog's GB15 1-1/2" tweeter sits in your palm with the weight of a stone -- there's not one plastic part in this speaker. Cast zinc housing protects the polyester soft dome, which delivers impressive performance that's as lush and nuanced as live sound. A copper polepiece cap helps extend frequency response and reduce distortion, making this tweeter a tough one to beat.
Such an efficient design puts the GB15 near the top of its class in the realm of power handling, with a rating of up to 100 watts RMS. Add in Audiofrog's grueling standards for real world speaker testing, and you can trust that the GB15 will live a very long life in your car.
Built for custom installations
Audiofrog was founded by experienced installers, who know all the pitfalls and shortcuts of tweeter installation. The all-metal finish of the GB15's removable ring and tray can be polished, painted or upholstered, depending on your vision for your interior. The grilles are ideal for painting as well.
With this tweeter's unique metal mounting bracket, you'll find custom fabrication of pillar and sail panel pods much easier. The bracket's versatile straps provide for numerous installation scenarios as well. Without the mounting bracket, the GB15 will fit a standard sawhole cut. Audiofrog's unique threaded design for flush-mounting allows for the snuggest fit possible, complete with set screws to ensure the tweeter stays locked in position. Any way you install it, this versatile tweeter gives you the potential to gain the widest possible soundstage for total musical immersion.

I'm really happy with the quality of Audio Frog products. These tweets give me all the detail I was missing from my stock speakers and more. They're smooth, has much clarity (I can make out words where I couldn't before), and the install pieces make it much easier to install.
