A tweeter is usually made of textile blends or silk, which produce a clear and smooth sound. But if you want the treble notes to be crisp and bright, choose speakers made from rigid materials such as metals, ceramic, or graphite.
Woofer Materials – A woofer made of rigid and lightweight material will produce bass notes that will resonate throughout your car. Polypropylene is the most widely used material when it comes to woofer cones, and while it works well, polypropylene mixed with metal or mica-coated synthetic fabrics will produce a better bass sound and will also withstand heat, cold, and humidity.
Surrounding Materials – Surrounds are the names given to the soft rings of the woofer. They allow the woofer cone to move freely and produce lower frequencies. Due to the strong vibration caused by the bass frequencies, for the best results, the surround must be made of a durable material such as rubber. If you’re looking for a cheaper alternative, opt for foam or fabric.
