Recently, the WNAT - CES2025 Automotive Acoustics Forum was successfully held with the theme of "New Possibilities for Automotive Sound Beyond the Audio System". Major automakers such as BAIC, CHANGGE, NIO, and GEELY, as well as leading acoustic enterprises like Skyworks and experts from the research and education industry gathered together to focus on core topics such as spatial audio, speakerless acoustics, and NLCPRO distortion control. They deeply discussed the transformation path of the automotive acoustics industry from "hardware accumulation" to "experience upgrade", and jointly discussed the acoustic innovation direction of the "third living space" of automobiles.
At the forum, enterprises like Skyworks shared their cutting-edge technological achievements. Their unique NLCPRO non-linear control algorithm attracted widespread attention. This technology, through hardware modeling and precise algorithm compensation, solves the "size-amplitude-distortion" problem of small-sized speakers, can increase 20dB of low-frequency energy, and significantly optimize the audio quality experience in the vehicle. At the same time, the guests engaged in heated discussions on the development path of the industry and reached a consensus of "transitioning from hardware accumulation to soft and hard collaborative innovation". Experts from automakers like NIO and XIAOPING emphasized that they need to focus on scenario refinement based on hardware compliance, optimize the experience of scenarios such as watching movies and navigation through acoustic layout, and refuse meaningless parameter competitions.
In addition, the forum focused on the application prospects of AI technology in the field of vehicle audio, as well as the core issues of user experience and cost balance. The guests believed that the Jingcai Sound standard, the A²B2.0 bus, and the AI speaker optimization technology would become the cornerstone of the next-generation vehicle audio, achieving the effect of "improving sound quality without upgrading hardware". The event also discussed the path for upgrading vehicle audio from "sound effect configuration" to "emotional atmosphere solution", proposing to use the "sound-light-touch" three-sense interaction to make sound an important part of the brand genes of the car, providing new ideas for the innovative development of the industry.
In terms of core performance, it has a peak power of 1200W and a continuous rated power (RMS) of 300W. It can stably output powerful bass and is not stressed in handling heavy bass tracks such as rock and electronic music. The dual 2Ω voice coil design enables it to flexibly match different amplifiers. It can be connected in series as 4Ω or in parallel as 1Ω, suitable for various audio system solutions and meeting different modification needs. The frequency response covers 37Hz - 1200Hz, accurately reproducing low-frequency details. Its 87dB sensitivity is outstanding among products in the same category, ensuring efficient energy conversion and delivering full and non-tedious bass.
The hardware configuration is solid. It uses a Φ61mm CCAW (copper-clad aluminum wire) voice coil, which has excellent conductivity and heat dissipation properties, capable of withstanding long-term high-power operation and reducing the risk of voice coil overheating and distortion. The diaphragm is made of carbon fiber, which is strong, lightweight, and can respond quickly to audio signals, presenting clean and crisp transient bass, while effectively suppressing resonance and improving sound quality purity. It is paired with a 102.5 oz. large magnet, providing strong driving force and ensuring the depth and strength of low-frequency extension. The 151mm installation depth is suitable for most vehicle trunk or under-seat installation spaces, and its 7.6kg weight combines stability with installation convenience.
