Additional Notes

  • The 2011 Acura TSX features a dedicated tweeter location in the front door panel with a 1 inch mounting size, which handles high-frequency reproduction separately from the larger drivers in the same door assembly.
  • Dashboard-mounted 3 inch full-range speakers provide mid-range and upper frequency output from the instrument panel area, offering a different sonic perspective than the door-mounted components.
  • Front door panels accommodate 6.5 inch speakers that accept either midbass or full-range configurations, giving flexibility in component selection based on whether the factory tweeter location is utilized or bypassed.
  • The rear deck lid contains both 6.5 inch and 8 inch speaker locations, with the smaller size accepting midbass or full-range types while the larger position is designated for woofer applications that emphasize lower frequencies.
  • Rear door panels incorporate 6.5 inch openings compatible with midbass or full-range speakers, matching the size used in multiple other locations throughout the 2011 Acura TSX audio system.
  • Replacing the front door 6.5 inch speakers might take priority for sound improvement since these locations typically handle the majority of mid-range frequencies and contribute substantially to overall clarity and staging.
  • The 8 inch woofer position in the rear deck lid could enhance low-frequency output when upgraded, as this dedicated bass location allows for improved lower-range extension compared to the 6.5 inch positions.
  • Component speaker systems utilizing the separate 1 inch tweeter location and 6.5 inch midbass configuration in the front doors may provide better frequency separation than installing full-range speakers alone.
  • The radio opening accepts both single DIN and double DIN head units, allowing for aftermarket receiver installation with various features and power output capabilities to drive upgraded speakers.
