Car audio speakers & cables Customization Options
When importing car audio speakers and cables from China, you can either buy an ODM or OEM product. Keep reading to learn the difference.
Option A: ODM (Private Label)
Most of our customers, in this category, buy ODM products. This is the fast track to launch a product, as it’s based on a factory designed product – not a custom design.
There are, however, quality differences between each SKU. Most suppliers provide relatively detailed spec sheets, such as the following:
- 6.5″ midrange speaker
- Impedance: 4Ω
- Magnet type: Y30
- Magnet Size and weight: 100X45X20mm (22 OZ)
- Max Power: 200W
- RMS Power: 100W
- Sensitivity ( 1w/1m): 93db
- Voice Coil: Φ38MM
- 8″ midrange speaker
- Impedance: 4Ω
- Magnet type: Y30
- Magnet Size and weight: 120X40X20mm (35 OZ)
- MAX Power: 300W
- RMS Power: 150W
- Sensitivity ( 1w/1m): 96db
- Voice Coil: Φ38MM
- Frecuency response: 35HZ-18.5KHZ
ODM products also allow some customization, such as colors and logos.
Option B: OEM (Custom Design)
Nearly every car audio speakers and cables manufacturer are OEM manufacturers, at their core.
This means that they can make any product, based on your design and technical requirements.
However, don’t expect them to develop your product ideas for you.
Most manufacturers will not even respond, unless you can show the following:
- Products pictures
- Specifications
- Order quantity
MOQ Requirement
Most manufacturers require that their buyers order at least 500 to 1000 units per order.
Some suppliers may be willing to offer a slightly lower MOQ (300 pcs), but less than that is very rare.
