Additional Notes

  • The 2016 Acura RLX contains multiple speaker locations throughout the cabin, with tweeters positioned in the front door panels, rear door panels, and rear deck lid at 1 inch each, suggesting a distributed high-frequency audio setup.
  • The dashboard houses a 3-inch full-range speaker, which typically handles midrange frequencies and may serve as a center channel or fill speaker in the factory audio configuration.
  • Six and a half inch locations exist in both front and rear door panels as well as the rear deck lid, accommodating either midbass or full-range speakers depending on the system design and upgrade preferences.
  • An 8-inch woofer location in the rear deck lid provides low-frequency reproduction, indicating the factory system likely includes a dedicated bass driver rather than relying solely on the 6.5-inch speakers for lower frequencies.
  • Replacing the 1-inch tweeters could refine high-frequency clarity and detail, particularly if the factory units exhibit limited extension or response characteristics in the upper audible spectrum.
  • The 6.5-inch door speakers likely represent the primary upgrade opportunity, as these locations typically handle the majority of vocal and instrumental content in automotive audio systems.
  • Component speaker systems with separate tweeters and woofers would align with the existing factory configuration, potentially utilizing the existing tweeter locations while upgrading the 6.5-inch midbass drivers.
  • Sound staging might benefit from upgrades to the front door panel speakers, as these positions generally provide the most direct sound path to the listening position in the front seats.
  • The presence of an 8-inch woofer location suggests that maintaining or upgrading this position could preserve bass response without requiring subwoofer installation in the trunk area.
  • Aftermarket speakers in the 6.5-inch locations would need to match the mounting depth and width constraints of the factory speaker openings to ensure proper fitment without door panel modification.
