Especially in application scenarios that require detailed playback accuracy, this demonstrates impressive performance.
When installing the Gold 16W/4538G05 from Scanspeak Automotive, you should primarily pay attention to the correct dimensions. With a diameter of 6.5 inches and a complex magnetic system, it is important to consider sufficient installation depth and space in the vehicle. While the aluminum die-cast basket provides additional stability, it also requires a firm and shock-free mounting. The included magnetic protection grille can increase the lifespan by protecting the magnet from dust and damage, especially in vehicles with heavily vibrating bodies. This way, you effectively optimize the listening experience in your vehicle.
The sensitivity of the Gold 16W/4538G05 is 90 dB, which shows that this speaker can produce a high volume even with a low power input (1 watt). This technical feature is particularly helpful for operating the speaker energy-efficiently, as a high sound pressure level can be achieved even at low power. An advantage here is the ability to pair it with a variety of amplifiers, which do not need to be high-power amplifiers to still create an immersive sound image. This makes integration into existing audio systems flexible and cost-effective.
Without specific car brands mentioned in the description of the Gold 16W/4538G05, compatibility is primarily determined by universal installation tolerances. The 6.5-inch size gives you a reference point for vehicle models that offer these speaker dimensions in the door or rear shelves. Commonly, mass-market vehicles like the VW Golf or models from the BMW 3 Series are suitable for this. However, it is crucial to take direct measurements of the installation opening to ensure a trouble-free installation. In particular, the magnet protection could be significant in tight installations.
