Additional Notes

  • The 2018 Audi RS7 appears to utilize a multi-component speaker system with dedicated drivers for different frequency ranges across various cabin locations.
  • Multiple tweeter locations including the center dash, dashboard, and rear door panels suggest a focus on high-frequency dispersion throughout the interior space.
  • The front door panel contains two separate midrange drivers at 4 inch and 4.5 inch sizes, which may indicate a dual-midrange configuration for enhanced vocal and instrumental reproduction.
  • Rear door panel speakers serve dual purposes with 0.75 inch tweeters handling high frequencies and 6.5 inch drivers managing midbass and full-range duties.
  • The D-pillar mounting location for a 3.5 inch midrange driver suggests rear passenger area soundstage enhancement through elevated speaker placement.
  • A center dash 3.5 inch full-range speaker likely contributes to center channel imaging and dialogue clarity in the front soundstage.
  • The cargo area houses an 8 inch subwoofer, indicating factory provision for low-frequency extension without requiring a separate enclosure installation.
  • Replacement priority might focus on the larger 6.5 inch rear door and front door midrange speakers, as these handle substantial portions of the audible frequency spectrum.
  • Component speaker systems with separate tweeters and woofers would align well with the factory configuration's multi-driver approach per door location.
  • Sound improvement potential exists through upgrading the front door midrange drivers and rear door midbass speakers, as these locations typically receive the most direct listening attention.
