Additional Notes
- The 1973 Audi Fox front door panels accommodate 6.5-inch speakers, which typically provide better low-frequency response than the 5.25-inch units in the rear deck lid, suggesting door speaker replacement might deliver more noticeable bass improvement.
- Both locations accept midbass or full-range speaker types, though full-range units would eliminate the need for separate tweeters if the goal is a straightforward upgrade without adding components.
- The size difference between front and rear speakers could allow for a staggered upgrade approach, where higher-quality 6.5-inch components go in the doors while the rear deck receives less expensive full-range speakers for fill.
- The single DIN radio opening provides standard aftermarket head unit compatibility, which might be relevant if planning to power upgraded speakers with an external amplifier fed through modern preamp outputs.
- Midbass-specific speakers in the 6.5-inch front positions would likely require separate high-frequency drivers, while the rear 5.25-inch locations might work well with coaxial full-range designs for ambient sound.
- The 1973 Audi Fox rear deck lid placement often means speakers fire upward toward the glass, which can affect sound staging compared to the front door panels where speakers aim more directly at occupants.
- Factory speaker locations in this configuration tend to have limited depth clearance, particularly in door panels, so aftermarket speaker mounting depth specifications would need verification before purchase.
