Additional Notes

  • The 1984 Audi 5000 dashboard locations accommodate 4 inch midrange speakers, which would typically handle vocal frequencies and mid-frequency reproduction rather than the full audio spectrum.
  • Rear deck lid positions accept 6.5 inch speakers that can function as either midbass units or full-range drivers, suggesting flexibility in component selection based on the desired system configuration.
  • The factory 4 inch dashboard speakers likely represent the primary listening position speakers, though their midrange-only designation indicates limited bass response without additional components.
  • Upgrading the rear deck speakers with 6.5 inch midbass drivers could enhance lower frequency output, particularly if paired with the dashboard midrange speakers in a component-style setup.
  • The single DIN radio opening provides standard aftermarket head unit compatibility, which may be relevant when considering amplification requirements for upgraded speakers.
  • Full-range 6.5 inch speakers in the rear deck positions could operate independently without additional crossovers, though this configuration might create frequency overlap with the dashboard midrange units.
  • The speaker size difference between front and rear locations suggests a factory design that separated frequency responsibilities across the available mounting points.
