Nissan Pulsar Speaker FAQ
What speakers should I replace first in my Nissan Pulsar for better sound quality?
Replace the dashboard speakers first. The 4 inch coaxial speakers in the dash handle most of your midrange frequencies and vocals. Since you're sitting closer to these speakers, upgrading them typically gives you the most noticeable improvement in clarity and detail. The rear door panel speakers can wait - they mostly fill in ambient sound. Look for 4 inch coaxials with around 20-30 watts RMS and 4-ohm impedance. The factory mounting depth is usually pretty shallow in the dash, so measure before buying.
Can I install component speakers instead of coaxials in my Nissan Pulsar?
You could theoretically separate the components, but it's not really practical. The dashboard location works better for tweeters anyway since they're closer to ear level. Your rear doors might have space for woofers, but you'd need to run new wiring for the crossovers. Most people stick with upgraded coaxials - they're much easier to install and still give you decent sound improvement. Look for coaxials with silk dome tweeters rather than the cheap metal ones.
Why does my Nissan Pulsar have the same size speakers in both locations?
The 4 inch size was pretty standard for compact cars back then. Same size doesn't mean same function though. Your dashboard speakers handle the primary stereo imaging - they're positioned for direct sound to your ears. The rear door speakers add depth and fill. Even though they're both 4 inch coaxials, the dashboard placement gives better frequency response for vocals and midrange. That's why upgrading the dash speakers first makes such a difference in perceived sound quality.
What power handling should I look for in 4 inch replacement speakers for my Nissan Pulsar?
Keep it reasonable - maybe 15-25 watts RMS maximum. The factory head unit probably puts out around 10-15 watts per channel anyway. Going higher than 30 watts RMS is just wasted money unless you're adding an amplifier later. Focus more on sensitivity ratings - look for speakers around 88-92 dB sensitivity. This means they'll play louder with the same power input. Frequency response should cover roughly 80 Hz to 20 kHz for decent full-range performance in those small coaxials.
