Additional Notes

  • The 2016 Audi RS7 utilizes a multi-component speaker configuration with dedicated drivers for specific frequency ranges rather than relying on single full-range speakers in most locations.
  • Tweeters are distributed across three distinct locations, with 0.75-inch units in the rear door panels and 1-inch units positioned in both the center dash and dashboard areas for high-frequency reproduction.
  • Midrange drivers vary in size across their mounting locations, with 4-inch and 4.5-inch units found in the front door panels, a 3.5-inch driver in the D-pillar position, and an additional 3.5-inch full-range speaker in the center dash.
  • The rear door panels accommodate 6.5-inch speakers that can function as either midbass drivers or full-range units, providing flexibility in component selection for that location.
  • A factory subwoofer location exists in the cargo area designed for an 8-inch driver, which handles low-frequency output separately from the other speaker positions.
  • Upgrading the front door midrange drivers and rear door midbass speakers would likely produce the most noticeable improvement in overall sound quality, given their larger surface area and broader frequency handling capabilities.
  • The tweeter positions in the dashboard and center dash may present mounting challenges during replacement due to their smaller 1-inch size and integration into the interior trim panels.
  • Component speaker systems designed for automotive use would be compatible with this configuration, allowing separate optimization of tweeters, midrange drivers, and midbass units across the various locations.
