Build an Audiofrog system

The Audiofrog price tag sets its speakers apart from the run-of-the-mill but buys you astounding car audio. When they demo'd the GS Series at Crutchfield headquarters, I listened, slackjawed, fantasizing about a world where speakers this powerful and clear were installed in my car. I'd pair them with Audiofrog's GS10 tweeters and an active crossover system, but there's always the option of setting up a 3-way system with GS60 6-1/2" midrange drivers. The beauty of Audiofrog's a la carte approach is that it imposes no limits on your ultimate car audio vision.

This little 4" wonder is ready to change your daily drive.

What a woofer

Audiofrog designed the GS40 4" woofer to deliver the midrange details in a custom component system. A responsive polypropylene cone provides high internal damping for smoother frequency response, and Audiofrog uses a 1" copper voice coil to enhance power handling.

Creative installation

Audiofrog was founded by experienced installers, who know all the pitfalls and shortcuts of custom installations. With the included mounting hardware, you'll find custom fabrication of a speaker location much easier. The GS40's removable ring can be painted or upholstered, depending on your vision for your interior. The grilles are ideal for painting as well.

Highlights:

4" polypropylene speakers (pair)
for use in systems with active crossovers
no crossovers included
power handling: 15-70 watts RMS (200 watts peak power)
frequency response: 90-12,000 Hz
impedance: 4 ohms
sensitivity: 88 dB
removable grille mesh and trim ring can be painted
flush-mount depth: 1.917"
cutout diameter: 3.673
warranty: 1 year

Product Research

Features

Durability: The Nitrile-Butadiene Rubber (NBR) surround is resistant to ultraviolet rays, temperature extremes, and humidity to add to the speaker's reliability and longevity.

Multi Component Systems: The GS40s are designed to mate with the GS10 tweeters (item number 898GS10, sold separately) using the GS410C passive crossovers (item number 898GS410C, sold separately). They can also be used in an active system with (or without) the GS60 woofers (item number 898GS60, sold separately) and the GS10 tweeters using an electronic crossover.

Note: Audiofrog recommends a low pass crossover set no higher than 3.5 kHz. The minimum recommended slope is 12 dB/octave.

Power Handling: Audiofrog lists two RMS power figures in the manual; 70 watts RMS in the technical specifications section and 15-75 watts RMS in the recommendations section.

3 questions already asked

Are these good for something that may be used for offroading where thereâ??s a chance they could get wet?

jacob Apr 14, 2021

1 answer

These are not marine rated . They should not be used in a location where they will be exposed to water. They can withstand humidity and sunlight, but are not recommended for powersports, boating, ATVs, etc.

What is the diameter of the speaker, excluding the speaker grill ?

frank Nov 23, 2019

1 answer

4-11/32 is the overall speaker diameter. 3-11/16 is the inside diameter of the mounting plate - you'd want about 3-7/8" hole to mount. 4" should work too.

Audition speakers before you buy

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.

Our 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.
