Video: Sony FB car speakers

An affordable factory replacement

by Crutchfield's Video Team

Sony's FB series of car speakers are a great option for replacing factory speakers. They'll run comfortably off your factory stereo, and can handle an aftermarket head unit or an external amplifier, too. They add a small "supertweeter" to the usual balanced-dome tweeter, ensuring that musical details get reproduced with nuance.

Sony's FB line of car speakers let you improve the sound in your car without breaking your budget. A number of our customers use these speakers to replace their factory speakers and they really appreciate the upgrade in sound quality.

The FB speakers feature an efficient design, so they'll sound full and lifelike even if they're powered by your factory stereo. If you step up to an aftermarket receiver or small amp, the speakers can handle the extra power with ease.

Their three-way design is suited to any kind of music you throw at them. The woofer cone is made from a sensitive, yet sturdy material for rich bass and mids, and Sony adds a small "supertweeter" to the traditional balanced dome tweeter, ensuring that high frequencies are reproduced with realistic nuance.

Replacing your factory speakers really makes a big difference in your sound, and the Sony FB line of speakers gives you an affordable way to get started with a car audio system. If you have any questions about car speakers, give Crutchfield a call.

How it works

SpeakerCompare^™ simulates the sound of home and car speakers through your headphones. It lets you compare sonic characteristics between speakers so that you can make a more informed shopping decision.

Why selecting your headphones is important

SpeakerCompare tailors your listening experience to the exact headphones you have, so that what you hear is comparable to auditioning speakers side-by-side in person. Knowing which model headphones you're using lets us remove any sonic coloring from your experience.

Two different listening modes

In an actual listening room, you'd find that some speakers play louder than others when fed the same amount of power. In equal power mode, you'll hear these differences in loudness as they naturally occur between speakers.

In equal volume mode, we've made the loudness of each speaker about the same. This gives you a more direct comparison of subtle voicing differences between speakers.

Nothing beats listening to speakers in your space

SpeakerCompare gives you a sense of the sonic differences. But performance in the real world is affected by the acoustics of your car or home, your choice of amplification, and your source material. We still believe that the gold standard for auditioning speakers is hearing them in your own environment — that's why we offer a 60-day money-back guarantee.

Listening kit

To help you choose the right speakers, we recommend using Crutchfield's SpeakerCompare Listening Kit. It includes a pair of studio-quality headphones, and a guide to getting the most out of your session, and a few other necessary items. We've carefully chosen the components of this kit to ensure a crystal-clear listening experience. It's available for a nominal rental fee, and includes a $25 Crutchfield merchandise credit.
