These are the most widely used speakers and are pre-installed during the production of the car. The design of the coaxial speakers includes tweeters and woofers that are combined in the same speaker unit. The cone shaped woofer has the capability of generating low range frequencies while the tweeters are able to produce very high range frequencies.

In addition, the coaxial speakers are usually described as either two-way speakers, three-way speakers and so on. It is very easy to know whether the speaker is a two way or a four way. Two-way speakers contain one tweeter and a woofer, while four way speakers have one woofer and three tweeters. Tweeters in a speaker are a vital requirement. The reason for this is that car music systems play compact disks at frequencies of 20-20,000 Hz. However, speakers that have no tweeters can only pick up sounds at frequencies of 15-10,000 Hz. Because of this shortfall, the system will try to reproduce the missing frequency resulting to sound distortions and low sound quality.
