So let's talk about speakers now. Speakers have different sizes. The standard sizes would be 6x9 which would be some oval speakers; which as a matter of fact we have right here. These are 6x9 speakers ovals and 6 1/2. These are the more common size speakers in cars. So all speakers are the same thing as woofers and amplifiers. The only difference between models of speakers depend on the power they handle; for instance Alpine. Alpine makes two kinds; they make the type S and they make the type R. Type R are speakers that if the customer later on want to run all the speakers with an amplifier, you want to go for the type R just for the fact that type R handles more power. Quality wise, it'll be the same, all depends on what the customer wants. If they want a very loud sound, then you want to go type R. If you want something good and you don't want to add an amplifier, then you want to run the speakers through the relay unit, then you want to go with type S; which is good but with less power. So any time you're going to do a system like that, you need to take in consideration exactly what is it you want to do. You want to get a nice set up just for you, probably I would recommend type S. If you want to get a system for people outside your car to hear you, then you want to go for type S, because they going to handle a lot of power and again, you're able to add an amplifier to them.
