Eton VAG 14 speakers
ETON is known for its range of Plug & Play Upgrade systems and has been a pioneer in full integration and bespoke loudspeakers for years. Now the range has been expanded with the UG VAG 14 Universal 145 mm (6”) mid-bass speaker. A number of current VAG models (VW Golf 8, T6.1, Polo V and many others) are equipped with a 145 mm woofer. The UG VAG 14 was therefore completely newly developed. It impresses with a 2-layer glass fiber paper membrane, known from the POW series. This extremely stiff and damped membrane means high stability, as well as its warm, full sound and dynamic, powerful punches. The smaller diaphragm area of only 145 mm is compensated by a system of strong ferrite magnets and a newly developed long-range surround sound, so that the UG VAG 14 is in no way inferior to a conventional 165 mm mid-bass speaker: the UG VAG 14 impresses with its sharp, dynamic and shaped reproduction bass, tuned for constant use. Thanks to the well-thought-out design and coordination, the UG VAG 14 can be integrated into various vehicles from large (Transporter T6.1) to small (Polo V). Durable voice coil with permanently elastic centering enables low distortion playback even at high levels. Newly developed Plug & Play speakers made of plastic and reinforced with glass fibers are extremely resistant to distortion and guarantee 100% assembly accuracy. The woofer/mid-woofer has VAG specific connectors and the kit includes an optional low-pass cable crossover for optimal in-vehicle tuning. UG VAG 14 fits various VAG models: VW T6.1, Polo V, Golf 6 rear, E-Golf, Golf 8, Tiguan II rear, T-Roc, T-Cross, Caddy and many others. (Current compatibility list at: www.eton-caraudio.com.)

| Speaker typeCoaxial speakers: Coaxial speakers are characterized by a so-called all-in-one design. The tweeter and mid-bass speaker are in one basket. The advantage is simpler assembly, but thanks to the connection or proximity of the bands in one speaker, the sound quality will usually be reduced. As a rule, in the middle of the mid-bass speaker, there is a tweeter whose voice coil works in the second air gap of the common magnetic circuit. The three-way coaxial speaker consists of a mid-bass speaker, a center speaker and a separate tweeter in the front on a special beam. Component Speakers: Component speakers are characterized by a division into individual frequency bands, treble + mid-bass + or. bass band. The individual speakers can be placed completely separately, which results in a better sound and acoustic performance. In the vast majority of cases of component speakers, an external crossover is also supplied, which divides the treble, middle / mid-bass, and into the three-band the bass band or allows setting the decibel level of the tweeter (e.g. +2 dB, 0 dB, -2 dB), steepness (e.g. 6dB/Oct. 12dB/Oct.) or active or bi-amp connection. | Mid-bass |
| Max. (maximum performancePeak performance , which the speaker can play for a moment (approx. 0.5 s), for example when hitting drums in a song. If the max power is exceeded, the speakers will usually be damaged! | 80 W |
| Sensitivity (SPL 1W/1m)Sensitivity, sensitivity or efficiency of the speaker. Speaker sensitivity is given in decibels (dB) and simply put, the higher the value, the lower the demands on the amplifier's power. This is a defacto rating of how a speaker converts watts to sound. Sensitivity ratings are in noise level measured at 1 meter from the speaker using 1 W (watt of power) or using 2.83 volts at the source at 1 meter. A higher decibel level means the speaker is louder with less power. For every 3 dB increase in sensitivity, the speaker requires half the power to reproduce the same volume. For example, if an 88 dB speaker needs 100 Watts to produce a certain volume, then a speaker with a sensitivity of 91 dB needs only 50 Watts to reach the same volume. | 88.5 dB |
| ImpedanceImpedance - measurement of electrical resistance. When buying speakers, it is important to make sure that the impedance matches the amplifier or car stereo you are using. Example: A 2 Ohm speaker cannot be connected to an amplifier that is only stable up to 4 Ohms! A 4 Ohm speaker can easily be used with an amplifier that is stable up to 2 Ohms. The most common speaker impedance today is 3 - 4 Ohm. | 3 Ω |
| The diameter of the mid-bass speakerWe state the diameter of the speaker as the diameter of the entire speaker, not including the mounts, when smaller speakers (87, 100, 130 mm) have extra mounts. Some speakers are oval and there the dimension is given in inches, always the shortest side to the longest side. One inch is approx. 2.5 cm. | 145mm (6") |
| Mid-woofer diaphragm materialThe material that was used for the speaker diaphragm. Don't be afraid of the paper, it surprisingly has a very natural and high-quality sound and, thanks to the surface treatment, it can withstand moisture without any problems. | Fiberglass paper |
| Frequency crossover included in the packageThe crossover is an important part of defacto all loudspeakers. A crossover usually contains different resistor values, coil sizes, and capacitor types that fundamentally modify the sound. We describe below what the turnouts are for. Component Speakers: A crossover is part of every quality component speaker system. Its task is to ensure the distribution of frequencies that the amplifier produces in the entire acoustic spectrum of frequencies so that each of the speakers receives only that part of the band that it can optimally play in terms of efficiency and minimal distortion. Coaxial speakers: In most cases, coaxial loudspeakers have a simple crossover (6dB/Oct.) formed by a capacitor at the tweeter. | No |

| Price forIf the price is for a pair, the package always includes 2 pieces of everything, e.g. 2x mid-bass, 2x tweeter and 2x crossover. | Few |
