Step 1
Opt for component speakers if audio quality is your prime concern. Component speakers consist of separate woofers and tweeters so you can get the best frequency isolation and construct a pristine soundscape inside your vehicle. The problem with component speakers is that they cost more than other options, but if you have the money, you should absolutely go with component. Eclipse offers 2-way and 3-way speaker systems in the component SC series. Eclipse also offers an external crossover with their component systems.

Step 2
Save some money without sacrificing much quality with the Eclipse integrated series. The integrated series models all start with SE, such as the SE8385 model. The integrated speakers are coaxial, meaning that the woofer and tweeters are housed in one speaker instead of separately. This can diminish the sound quality, but Eclipse strives to make designs that still keep audio integrity in a coaxial speaker. Eclipse offers 2-way, 3-way and even 4-way integrated speakers, some featuring a super-tweeter to give you a really crisp sound.

Step 3
Compromise with the point-source series from Eclipse. The point-source series, designated by SP, are more affordable than the component series and offer better audio potential than the integrated series. The point-source series offer detachable tweeters that can either be mounted with the woofer in one speaker or in a separate location. Eclipse also offers extenders for tweeters in the point-source series so that you can isolate the tweeter better while keeping it in the same speaker with the woofer.

Step 4
Pick up an Eclipse subwoofer for that added boom to your system. Eclipse offers a few different models of subwoofers, each coming in a 10 inch or 12 inch configuration. You can also get a subwoofer system that has two 12 inch speakers for lots of thump.
