The Truth about Sony Car Speakers
Sony car speakers are one of the most popular car speakers. This speaker has been around for over half a century since the transistor radio first became available to the market. After all those years of improvement, Sony car speakers seem to be leading the industry by a bundle of fibers and thermoplastic rubber.
Speaker technology is quite simple but not perfect. While various manufacturers offer different features or designs Sony car speakers have a factor that is uniquely theirs, the Highly Oriented Polyolefine or H.O.P. It is the tougher and lighter material that Sony uses for its woofer cones. Highly Oriented Polyolefine is made of pressured-aligned plastic fiber called, Polyolefin, a polymer akin to polypropylene. This produces a smoother sound with better direction than previous materials used. This allows the speaker to bounce sound more accurately which in turn creates audio with better clarity. It also improves energy and amplifier use which cause a decrease in power consumption. Because of this material the woofer's absorption of other frequencies is more efficient wherein the sound clarity does not diminish as the audio does.
They also contain Santropene, a mixture of EPDM rubber and polypropylene that works and lasts in both cold and hot environments. It's actually quite perfect for cars that usually get soaked in the sun or icy cold weather.
Many of Sony's car speakers have very different compositions unlike other brands. It is obvious that they are improving on the internal composition of the material not only the technology.
