Speaker is the converting device which change electric energy to sound energy, and we can easily see the speaker. They are widely used to home and car audio unit, home and industrial alarm device. Sometimes, the alarm sounds cause the environmental noise. Therefore it is important to design the appropriate speaker according to the installed device and position. In order to study the vibration and sound characteristics, the curvature of the cone paper is changed. Finite element method is used to compute the vibration characteristics and mode. Indoor and Vehicle teats are carried out to investigate the non-linear characteristics and the sound characteristics for some car speakers.

In the car speaker, because the sound characteristics is changed by the space of car which mount the speaker, the speaker elements must be decide according to sound field. In this study, the nonlinear characteristics, the frequency response and the sound pressure for the same size speakers which is adapted to domestic car model are investigated. The car model is classified to semi-midsize, midsized, full size automobile in order to change the car space. As a results, we can investigate the differences of the force factor and the stiffness of suspension system for speaker. According to the change of the speaker characteristics, the sound pressure is changed, also. In the future, these data will be used to investigate the correlation between the sound quality and measurement data.

The sound characteristics is changed by the cabin of the car which mount the speaker. Therefore the speaker must be design to consider the cabin of the car. In this study, the mechanical components of the nonlinear speaker model are investigated by measurement. The frequency characteristics of the sound and the sound pressure level for the same size speakers which are adapted to domestic car model(semi-mid size & mid size car) are investigated, too. From the measurement, we can investigate the differences of the sound characteristics and the thiele-small parameter such as force factor, mechanical mass of driver diaphragm, mechanical resistance of driver suspension losses and mechanical stiffness of driver suspension. This means that the speaker design parameters are changed by the car model
