This car parts and accessories review from Autoparts focuses on the Vibe audio SLICK car speaker range

VIBE are consistently establishing their position at the forefront of product innovation within the ICE industry. The new SLICK car speaker range is no exception to that rule, with outstanding acoustic innovation and advanced design technology. The SLICK speakers certainly live up to their name, SLICK style with SLICK performance. VIBE have designed these car speakers to deliver up power in true VIBE fashion.

You can expect sharp, tight bass sounds thanks to the stiffened IMPP cone and hard PU surround incorporating FASTBASSâ„¢ technology. The SLICK car speakers are a 2 way coaxial configuration which enables the SLICK speakers to have shallow euro fit baskets with wider but shallower magnets for maximum ease of installation where space is tight allowing the SLICK car speakers to be installed into virtually every vehicle on the market today.

All SLICK car speakers feature a new bigger, oversized PowerTweeterâ„¢ able to deliver powerful sharper mids and treble. The SLICK speakers are a welcome new addition to the VIBE range offering SLICK performance and looks at a price that will allow a complete SLICK install.
