Daewoo Lanos Speaker FAQ

Should I upgrade front or rear speakers first in my Daewoo Lanos?

Replace the front door panel speakers first. You'll hear the biggest improvement since most music content comes through the front channels. The 6.5 inch front speakers handle vocals and mid-range frequencies that you notice immediately. Rear deck speakers mostly provide fill and ambiance. Though both locations accept coaxial or component speakers, front upgrades give you more bang for your buck.

What's the difference between coaxial and component speakers for the Daewoo Lanos?

Coaxial speakers combine the tweeter and woofer in one unit - simpler installation, decent sound. Component speakers separate the tweeter from the woofer, usually sound better but require more wiring. Since your Lanos accepts both types in all positions, components might be worth it if you're serious about sound quality. The 6.5 inch size gives you flexibility either way. Coaxials work fine for most people though.

Can I mix coaxial and component speakers in my Daewoo Lanos?

Yes, but it's not ideal. Different speaker types have different impedance characteristics and frequency responses. You might get uneven sound balance. If you're upgrading gradually, start with matching coaxials all around, then move to components when budget allows. The front door panels and rear deck both handle 6.5 inch speakers, so at least sizing isn't an issue. Keep the power handling specs similar too - maybe 50-100 watts RMS max.

Why does my Daewoo Lanos have the same speaker size front and rear?

The 6.5 inch sizing front and rear creates balanced sound distribution throughout the cabin. Smaller cars like the Lanos benefit from uniform speaker sizes - prevents one area from overpowering another. Plus it simplifies replacement since you can buy matching sets. The door panels and rear deck have enough space for 6.5 inch drivers without modification. Makes sense from a manufacturing standpoint.

What impedance should I look for in Daewoo Lanos replacement speakers?

Stick with 4-ohm speakers. Most aftermarket car speakers run 4 ohms, and that's what your Lanos stereo expects. Using 8-ohm speakers will reduce power output significantly. 2-ohm speakers might overload the head unit. The 6.5 inch coaxial or component speakers you choose should handle around 20-25 watts RMS minimum, maybe up to 75 watts if you plan to add an amplifier later. Check your head unit specs first though.
