ML3245, ML3215 specifications

Legacy Car Audio offers a compelling lineup of speakers designed for audiophiles on a budget. Two notable models from their range are the ML3215 and ML3245, both of which showcase advanced technologies and robust features that cater to enhancing the in-car audio experience.

The Legacy ML3215 is a 3-way speaker system that integrates a 12-inch woofer, a 4-inch midrange driver, and a 1-inch tweeter. This combination allows for a wide frequency response, soaring highs, rich midrange, and deep bass, all essential for an immersive listening experience. The polypropylene cone material used in the woofer ensures durability while delivering powerful bass, while the rubber surround isolates and enhances sound quality effectively.

Both speaker models boast a peak power handling capacity designed to handle high volumes without distortion. They also support a wide range of audio sources, making them suitable for use with various head units and amplifiers. In terms of installation, they are user-friendly, featuring a standard mounting depth that allows for easy fitting in most vehicles.
