My grandpa has had the same radio for 50 years. Originally in his car, he harvested it and Frankensteined it into being portable. Running on a lantern battery with a homemade antenna and some of those cheap speakers you showed, it still lives today. When the time comes, I will make sure it ends up safe with me or I will die trying.
Yup, my portable speaker setup was running off an old tape/CD deck that I literally found thrown out of a pickup truck on the side of the road. Sucker still works, somehow.
ah yeah, like how we made beercrate radios before bluetooth speaks existed. slap a pair of car speakers, a battery and a radio in a crate and off ya go.
i will never forget my friend in high school bought a $1,200 sub and speaker setup. his trunk was full of subs. he bought his car for $500 it was a rusty shit box. my man rattled that thing apart, screws were literally coming loose and falling out. good times.

My 21 year old Mondeo has four 12's in the boot, components in the front and rear with compression driver tweeters providing the front highs, a decent Sony touchscreen headunit and 2 mono amps and a 4ch driving everything, 0 gauge power cable and high end speaker cable, my system cost more than my car like your friends did!
Can some explain why car audio heads love bass so much? It doesn't have any musical quality and it's honestly doesn't sound good after 10 seconds of "wow that's shits insane".
@@XxXnonameAsDXxX I have to disagree, it does have musical quality, if the rest of the system can keep up with the bass then having a system that punches you with bass, sounds very good. Not come across a single person who has not liked how my four 12's sound, they punch pretty hard but I have the mids and highs to go with them and its not all bass and no clarity like some youngsters have ragging their cheap setups well past the point of distortion.
It's probably worth mentioning that the Maraca Cracka is going to struggle destroying loudspeakers, pretty much by design. That grocery store amplifier has a lot of power that it can throw around if hooked up to a big array of speakers, but it lacks the max voltage to actually cram all that power through a speaker cone. Otherwise turning it up would pop the speakers in the grocery store. It's like putting a sink tap on a massive water mains pipe, yeah the pipe's huge but there's not any more pressure than the smaller pipe in your bathroom at home. It blows up earbuds pretty well because they're designed to run on much lower voltages.
@@aaron71 Yeah... I'm wondering if it's hooked up for 70/100 V operation or for low impedance. Typically, I'd expect a commercial amp to be capable of both or only Hi impedance.
@@willofthewind Its been awhile but I think the main big box thats connected too had multiple voltage outputs he could connect to. Maybe he needs to hook up to the higher one now XD
3 ways are junk, you want what's called component speakers which are a set of 2-3 speakers designed just to play certain frequencies (bass, mids, highs) and then wire them up through high/low pass filters that send yhe specific frequencies to the correct speakers. Those sony 3 days can be had for $30-40 at Walmart
Tweeter is cock-eyed to give it some "direction". Back in early 2000s when car audio tuning was a thing it was common. Some tweeters were designed to be rotated even.
7:20 is a good example to show how Willie Kizart unintentionally pioneered guitar distortion. His amplifier and speaker cone was damaged during transit, and this created a new more distorted tone, as you can hear on his song ‘Rocket 88’.
"it got no bass at all" - Dankpods looking at a graph but not actually reading it the thing only starts dropping around 50Hz, which is super low for such a tiny speaker. for comparison, the low E on a 4 string bass is around 40Hz. still sounds like swamp arse, of course.

The only reaction to that would be the screen waking up when he removes the speaker, since that's how the ipad knows the official covers are closed, (unless Wade hasn't ruined the front part of the cover)
Tablets are already chock full of decently powerful magnets. If you take an iPad and put it up against a flat metal magnetic surface surface like steel (but not stainless steel), it will stick in place because there are so many magnets inside it. A moderate magnet like the shielded one in a speaker will only temporarily mess up camera auto focus, and possibly the connection to the SD card and Sim card. It will affect the speakers in the tablet much less than you think it will.
Stock car speakers are usually made by reputable brands as oem parts, as seen by the pioneer one, if you're not spending much the very least you'd upgrade are the tweeters and midrange..the midbass you can still salvage it with some eq and dsp. And also sound deadened it.
Man, those aftermarket speakers are nothing like the premium OEM speakers I work. We put a lot of effort into trying to make good systems. I think it's really funny how they all use ferrite magnets, where as in the industry we are going neodymium on pretty much everything for weight savings. So much effort going into tuning all all the DSP channels to compensate for the environment of a car. Paper is also a great material for speakers, especially woofers, cheap and you don't really need stiffness like for higher frequencies.
I feel your pain of people bashing OEM stuff, when in reality a lot of the time it is better for the intended application than, i.e., the aftermarket "3-way" coaxial crap like the sony in this video. Sidenote, are you able to tell me which OEM you work for? I am very interested in the industry (to the point I have a collection of ~30 OEM car speakers from various manufacturers), and I would love to someday work as an engineer in it. Curious on what path you took to get there and if you have any advice. I am currently studying mechatronics engineering, so I would likely be on the DSP side. Thanks!
My first car back in 2009, I ran some kicker 6.5 coaxials, their cheapest ones (they were like $40 if I remember cuz I got two sets for $80) and they were connected to a $60 pioneer headunit. And man, i used to crank that shit. Used the built in crossover so the bass didn't distort. Was absolutely fantastic. I miss that car/setup because it was cheap and sounded great.
Dank, as an old installer, I will say most brands tilted their tweeters in 2 and 3 way car speakers. Higher end ones could swivel and/or twist, too. It's so you can aim the tweeter for optimal "sound quality".
My 2008 jeep grand Cherokee came with Boston Acoustics audio and while they are older they are absolutely incredible. All frequencies are crisp and nothing is too quiet or harsh. The dash speakers are beginning to crackle a little so I'm planning on installing all JBL speakers eventually.

Fun fact am radio is largley abandoned in canada so we mostly get american right wingers wich makes me sad because there was this really cool basically forgotten am channel that that i troduced me to alot of 80s and 90s hiphop and just wild conversations about what may be out in the sky
Vwestlife has a bunch of recording of US radio jingles and such that he uses when he shows one thing or another, perhaps he can help identifying the channel?
I only recently discovered that the AM radio on my radio clock was still functional, and very happily connected to a popular music station. Three days later they announced they'd be ending their AM broadcasts within the month.
for some reason the blue one sounds way better than the silver one to me that's for sure, interesting what's inside; listening on dt770ple, and ofc great vid as always mate
Yes he does!! It’s called Garbage time and if you like this you’ll love it, even if ur not a car person (I’m not but I’ve watched all those vids multiple times)
I thought Sony sounded worse. The difference in upper freqs doesn't come across well in video, and in the end, bass matters way more in a car stereo since there's a lot of low frequency engine and tire rumble to drown out.
5:39 Ive been a car audio nerd for over 20 years. Some speaker designs do this on purpose so you can point them towards you face for sound stage (instead of straight out at a 90 degree). Im not sure if the Planter one was intentional though.
I clicked this while tired AF thinking it was a BigClive video, and it threw me for a loop when I heard Wade's voice instead. 😂 Very different energy haha.
I'm sure its said elsewhere in the comments but speakers need a baffle for any sort of sound testing otherwise the front and rear waves cancel out and sound awful. Even a hole cut into cardboard would be more than enough. Love the vids look forward to more car audio stuff in the future.
*FUN FACT:* My 1993 Pontiac Firebird Formula had a *_TEN_* SPEAKER premium package available, which mine indeed has! 🤘😫🤘 _(Camaro, which is also an F-Body platform, I believe only had 6 for its premium)_ In later years (97) it got branded as the "Monsoon Package", as well as a bit of a glow up (500W amp, better speakers), but still the same number of speakers. And no, we're not talking about 2-way and 3-way speakers each counting as 4 or 6! Were taking dedicated speakers for each! DOOR: 2× 6.75in Midrange Woofer 2× 2in Tweeter SAIL PANEL: 2× 6.75in Subwoofer REAR: 2× 4in Mid Woofer 2× 2in Tweeter _[Sail Panel is a giant B-Pilar, flanking the back seats; Rear is under the hatch lid, _*_behind_*_ the back seats]_ Even my original Delco factory speakers with just an aftermarket Pioneer deck, stop sounds awesome. It's the perfect amount of bass, even for Daft Punk, Crystal Method, or heavier. Because the sail panels act as nice sub boxes. I also have the steering wheel controls, since mine has a factory CD player as well (although, my 1991 *_also_* had those). I don't have the adapter to use the controls though, because it's first-gen and not super user friendly lol [/ramble]
Lots of cars in the 80's and 90's used the trunk as the enclosure for the rear deck speakers, which gave them superb bass response. Pontiac's Grand Prix is one such example.
@@brigganthewolf1461 I always figured they did that primarily because the rear window glass perfectly reflects the audio back to the front. Particularly since in the 80s, the factory stereos lacked the wattage to drive factory speakers that well. Hell, even into the 00s they were generally 45Wx4, which is why they were adding an amp for the sail panel subs and let the deck handle the rest. F-Body's lack a deck lid though. Most aftermarket sub boxes were built into the recessed area at the way back, where a fullsize spare *could* be kept. _(4th Gens, which started in 93, use a space saver, kept behind paneling... I don't remember if my 91 had one there or not)_
I can say with full confidence that I’m quite sure those “planters” are what we know as Pyle And yes, their quality is exactly what their name implies.
I replaced the speakers in my "slightly dehydrated urine" colored Saturn ION with speakers we pulled from cars at a U Pull It. It sounds way better now, even with the original radio. Granted, the original radio is made by Matsushita. We tested the speakers by plugging them into the back of a Sharp bookshelf speaker radio and seeing if they crackled at high bass with good old Madonna songs.
It was 1995. '86 Chevy Astro van. In the back, by the rear double doors was a set of KLH home stereo speakers with 15 inch subs. (and various mids & highs) My brother found a dinky 200 watt amp at a yard sale. Now those KLH speakers back then could thump on very low power. Shook the rearview mirror off the windshield and rattled those doors like crazy. We though we were so cool going through our lil' redneck town in a souped up Astro, with a Bass compilation CD cranked up. Those speakers lived in the van for 2 years. Did the same with a '77 Old Delta-88 Station wagon. Two huge stage speakers with dual 12's each. That lasted for a few days until we needed the back seats again.
I love seeing the speaker membrane go sicko mode, you don't normally get to see it at the right angle to really see the movement. Pouring some paint on speakers with lots of bass is awesome too
Hey! Kicker's headquarters are in my hometown! Stillwater Oklahoma, not too bad for a southern U.S. town, lol. I love their stuff and they seem generally high quality, focusing on boats, cars, and motorcycles.
0:58 i once exploded an entire gallon of sweet tea into my car door (well, like, half onto the door, half... everywhere else. never did clean it up. wonder if it got crushed like that)
I saw my dad upgrading the speakers in his car years ago and vaguely remember the "3-way speaker" written on the box that he chose. It's only now that I understand what they meant by 2-way & 3-way speakers. Pretty neat actually separating the frequency range. But when my dad replaces his car which has got separate tweeters on the A-pillar, it blows even the 3-way speaker. It sounds roomier and you can hear the details much more better.
Speakers work by a magnet beneath the piece of paper that is a coil. It makes noise by pushing air back and forth via vibration and creating high and low pressure. This can make a sine, triangle, sawtooth and “square” wave. 7:15
Those response brand APMLIFIERS, specifically the discontinued A/B class ones are crazy powerful. I had a boom car back in the day with 2x12 inch Vifa Subs running on a response 2x150W and was able to crack 170DB.
So, as someone with like 15 years of car stereo experience behind me (about 10 years behind me) one thing I learned early on is that you rarely blow speakers with power. It is distortion that blows speakers. And since those 2 aftermarket speakers have separate speakers to handle different frequencies it'll be pretty hard to blow them without a fucked signal.
I'm all for car audio. Turn em up loud enough and the car sound doesn't matter. Pretty well insulated too so you get it all. I splurged a bit on some speakers for my old car and wasn't disappointed.
If you want to make a speaker suffer, instead of playing music through it just play a sine wave continuously. The sine wave will make the air that refrigerates the coil of the speaker not do its task efficiently, given that the same air that comes out of the space in between the magnets and the coil comes back into that space without the chance of cooling down. That makes the glue that fixes the coil to the cone melt.
Just an FYI, the "crooked"/askew tweeter you see on some car speakers is actually intentional; it's intended to be used such that you can aim the tweeter more directly at the direction you want, since speakers are usually at a mild angle from the person listening. Not much difference, but that is the intention.
These car speakers are really powerful. I got renault stock speakers. Some EQ and delay settings and they got some insane low frequency from 40hz and up.
My family owns a 1996 Toyota Mr2 which apparently had a "premium audio" option. It wasn't good, so we just changed all the speakers to basic ones (with low power) from real brands. Now its fairly unbalanced but sounds far better and more fun. Car speakers are awesome.
Hey Wade, just wanted to leve a bit of feedback: when comparing the speakers, the cut length made it that we heard the same part from the same speaker twice. So the sony played the "high" part twice, the 5$ cashies ones didn't play it at all. I think it would be great to use a different time between the cuts to allow us to hear both doing the same thing to actually compare. Cheers mate!

One thing that's fun is listening to the difference of having the speaker in the door vs. having it out and about. It really changes the sound.
Fun fact am radio is largley abandoned in canada so we mostly get american right wingers wich makes me sad because there was this really cool basically forgotten am channel that that i troduced me to alot of 80s and 90s hiphop and just wild conversations about what may be out in the sky
Vwestlife has a bunch of recording of US radio jingles and such that he uses when he shows one thing or another, perhaps he can help identifying the channel?
I only recently discovered that the AM radio on my radio clock was still functional, and very happily connected to a popular music station. Three days later they announced they'd be ending their AM broadcasts within the month.
for some reason the blue one sounds way better than the silver one to me that's for sure, interesting what's inside; listening on dt770ple, and ofc great vid as always mate
Car speakers? Does this guy own a car channel? Idk he just might
Yes he does!! It’s called Garbage time and if you like this you’ll love it, even if ur not a car person (I’m not but I’ve watched all those vids multiple times)
@@rebeccajensen159 yeah I have as well this comments just a silly joke
I was gonna say something about how speakers need a cabinet or atleast a baffle to work properly, but then I remembered what channel I'm watching.
I’m begging you
PUT IT IN JEFF
Nah mate Jeff's BANNED
the cockeyed tweeters r usually spinnable to adjust to point more towards ur ears depending on where they sit in the doorcard
Wow at first i thought "man, that stock speaker isnt bad" then you cut to the sony and holy shit. It sounded like i just got the water out of my ears!
I thought Sony sounded worse. The difference in upper freqs doesn't come across well in video, and in the end, bass matters way more in a car stereo since there's a lot of low frequency engine and tire rumble to drown out.
@@romangiertych5198 true true. But the speaker you're listening to the video on absolutely has an effect on how it sounds
@@gergthewerg I'm on hurr durr 598's by old mate senny :D
Dankpods is my favorite talking floating arms and hands
1:40 Wdym little? These are huge!
Tony now needs some of the DIRTIEST speakers you can find Dank, that boy needs it
2:24 Planters? Like peanuts?
5:39 Ive been a car audio nerd for over 20 years. Some speaker designs do this on purpose so you can point them towards you face for sound stage (instead of straight out at a 90 degree). Im not sure if the Planter one was intentional though.
I clicked this while tired AF thinking it was a BigClive video, and it threw me for a loop when I heard Wade's voice instead. 😂
Very different energy haha.
The vibes are very different, but equally chaotic
I'm sure its said elsewhere in the comments but speakers need a baffle for any sort of sound testing otherwise the front and rear waves cancel out and sound awful. Even a hole cut into cardboard would be more than enough. Love the vids look forward to more car audio stuff in the future.
Nice to see DankPods expanding into sonic weapons.
tony doesnt need speakers tony needs earmuffs
*FUN FACT:* My 1993 Pontiac Firebird Formula had a *_TEN_* SPEAKER premium package available, which mine indeed has!
🤘😫🤘
_(Camaro, which is also an F-Body platform, I believe only had 6 for its premium)_
In later years (97) it got branded as the "Monsoon Package", as well as a bit of a glow up (500W amp, better speakers), but still the same number of speakers.
And no, we're not talking about 2-way and 3-way speakers each counting as 4 or 6!
Were taking dedicated speakers for each!
DOOR: 2× 6.75in Midrange Woofer
2× 2in Tweeter
SAIL PANEL: 2× 6.75in Subwoofer
REAR: 2× 4in Mid Woofer
2× 2in Tweeter
_[Sail Panel is a giant B-Pilar, flanking the back seats; Rear is under the hatch lid, _*_behind_*_ the back seats]_
Even my original Delco factory speakers with just an aftermarket Pioneer deck, stop sounds awesome. It's the perfect amount of bass, even for Daft Punk, Crystal Method, or heavier. Because the sail panels act as nice sub boxes.
I also have the steering wheel controls, since mine has a factory CD player as well (although, my 1991 *_also_* had those).
I don't have the adapter to use the controls though, because it's first-gen and not super user friendly lol

S+ tier yap
@@GRamerDim It's a requirement in order to keep my nobility status. 😊
Lots of cars in the 80's and 90's used the trunk as the enclosure for the rear deck speakers, which gave them superb bass response. Pontiac's Grand Prix is one such example.
@@brigganthewolf1461 I always figured they did that primarily because the rear window glass perfectly reflects the audio back to the front. Particularly since in the 80s, the factory stereos lacked the wattage to drive factory speakers that well. Hell, even into the 00s they were generally 45Wx4, which is why they were adding an amp for the sail panel subs and let the deck handle the rest.
F-Body's lack a deck lid though. Most aftermarket sub boxes were built into the recessed area at the way back, where a fullsize spare *could* be kept. _(4th Gens, which started in 93, use a space saver, kept behind paneling... I don't remember if my 91 had one there or not)_
I like the formatting
I really want to see you explode nugget pods with a stinky 3500watt or 6500 car bass amp.
I am forever thankful my car (03 Ls430) actually has a good sound system from the factory, Mark levinson knew what they were doing
Fun Fact aftermarket car speakers brings improvements.
I can say with full confidence that I’m quite sure those “planters” are what we know as Pyle
And yes, their quality is exactly what their name implies.
dropped a very in-depth Mario game lore video for this.
I am not disappointed
I replaced the speakers in my "slightly dehydrated urine" colored Saturn ION with speakers we pulled from cars at a U Pull It. It sounds way better now, even with the original radio. Granted, the original radio is made by Matsushita. We tested the speakers by plugging them into the back of a Sharp bookshelf speaker radio and seeing if they crackled at high bass with good old Madonna songs.
DANKPODS, THE LEGEND!!

@@AmbraMedling I APPRECIATE YOU
use a mixer as a preamp to the "Maraca Cracka" and then it can output way more power. power amps need heavy preamps
“Wrong meme, sorry.”
WHAT WAS THAT MEME, AND WHY DO YOU HAVE IT SAVED 😭😭😭
Legit looks like something you would see in Need for Speed Underground 2.
Who else had stereo speakers from the house hooked to into their rides when they were younger.
It was 1995. '86 Chevy Astro van. In the back, by the rear double doors was a set of KLH home stereo speakers with 15 inch subs. (and various mids & highs) My brother found a dinky 200 watt amp at a yard sale. Now those KLH speakers back then could thump on very low power. Shook the rearview mirror off the windshield and rattled those doors like crazy. We though we were so cool going through our lil' redneck town in a souped up Astro, with a Bass compilation CD cranked up. Those speakers lived in the van for 2 years.
Did the same with a '77 Old Delta-88 Station wagon. Two huge stage speakers with dual 12's each. That lasted for a few days until we needed the back seats again.
I had a pair of those Bose rectangular blocks that used to be everywhere in my old hatchback.. haha
@@nickwallette6201 had two awia brand speakers that thumped pretty good in my old truck. They did their job
I love seeing the speaker membrane go sicko mode, you don't normally get to see it at the right angle to really see the movement. Pouring some paint on speakers with lots of bass is awesome too
Ooooo a noisy thing
Love noisy things (and being early)!!
Hey! Kicker's headquarters are in my hometown! Stillwater Oklahoma, not too bad for a southern U.S. town, lol. I love their stuff and they seem generally high quality, focusing on boats, cars, and motorcycles.

0:58 i once exploded an entire gallon of sweet tea into my car door (well, like, half onto the door, half... everywhere else. never did clean it up. wonder if it got crushed like that)
I saw my dad upgrading the speakers in his car years ago and vaguely remember the "3-way speaker" written on the box that he chose. It's only now that I understand what they meant by 2-way & 3-way speakers. Pretty neat actually separating the frequency range.
But when my dad replaces his car which has got separate tweeters on the A-pillar, it blows even the 3-way speaker. It sounds roomier and you can hear the details much more better.
After so long, the Laphoneys return only to immediately get blown up. Love it.
Speakers work by a magnet beneath the piece of paper that is a coil. It makes noise by pushing air back and forth via vibration and creating high and low pressure. This can make a sine, triangle, sawtooth and “square” wave.
7:15
The tweeters are angled so they point more towards the listener when mounted in a car door
Those response brand APMLIFIERS, specifically the discontinued A/B class ones are crazy powerful. I had a boom car back in the day with 2x12 inch Vifa Subs running on a response 2x150W and was able to crack 170DB.
So, as someone with like 15 years of car stereo experience behind me (about 10 years behind me) one thing I learned early on is that you rarely blow speakers with power. It is distortion that blows speakers. And since those 2 aftermarket speakers have separate speakers to handle different frequencies it'll be pretty hard to blow them without a fucked signal.
I'm all for car audio. Turn em up loud enough and the car sound doesn't matter. Pretty well insulated too so you get it all. I splurged a bit on some speakers for my old car and wasn't disappointed.
You can't fool me, Mr. Pods, these quote unquote "wrong memes" you pick out are perfect
3:45 local aussie discovers what natural distortion is on gutiar cabs
I saw the thumbnail, heard "Dad's Ute" in my head, and hoped it was you.
Glad it was!
If you want to make a speaker suffer, instead of playing music through it just play a sine wave continuously. The sine wave will make the air that refrigerates the coil of the speaker not do its task efficiently, given that the same air that comes out of the space in between the magnets and the coil comes back into that space without the chance of cooling down. That makes the glue that fixes the coil to the cone melt.
Just an FYI, the "crooked"/askew tweeter you see on some car speakers is actually intentional; it's intended to be used such that you can aim the tweeter more directly at the direction you want, since speakers are usually at a mild angle from the person listening. Not much difference, but that is the intention.
Lol Dank is slowly turning into Garret Claridge
These car speakers are really powerful. I got renault stock speakers. Some EQ and delay settings and they got some insane low frequency from 40hz and up.
I love the sheer joy he had in his laugh while destroying the speaker with the 1 grit
My family owns a 1996 Toyota Mr2 which apparently had a "premium audio" option. It wasn't good, so we just changed all the speakers to basic ones (with low power) from real brands. Now its fairly unbalanced but sounds far better and more fun.
Car speakers are awesome.
Hey Wade, just wanted to leve a bit of feedback: when comparing the speakers, the cut length made it that we heard the same part from the same speaker twice. So the sony played the "high" part twice, the 5$ cashies ones didn't play it at all. I think it would be great to use a different time between the cuts to allow us to hear both doing the same thing to actually compare.
Cheers mate!
My cousin bought a prius and put a huge speaker in the back and a subwoofer in the trunk, best car for going speeding down the road blasting music at inconvenient times of day
that's gotta be the worst possible car to install a subwoofer in depending on how much power the sub needs to work
