- The 2018 Audi S5 contains a multi-speaker configuration with drivers ranging from 0.75-inch tweeters to 8-inch woofers distributed across multiple locations throughout the cabin.
- Tweeter locations include the center dash with both 0.75-inch and 1-inch sizes, A-pillar positions with 1-inch units, dashboard placements at 1 inch, and rear side panels featuring 0.75-inch drivers.
- Midrange frequencies are handled by 2.5-inch speakers positioned in the center dash and rear side panels, while 3.5-inch midrange units are installed in the front door panels.
- The front door panels accommodate 6.5-inch drivers suitable for midbass or full-range reproduction, providing primary mid-to-low frequency output at ear level.
- Rear side panels contain multiple speaker types including 0.75-inch tweeters, 2.5-inch midrange drivers, 6.5-inch midbass/full-range units, and 8-inch woofers for extended frequency coverage.
- Low frequency reproduction is supported by 8-inch woofers located in both the rear side panels and rear deck lid, while the rear deck lid also contains a 3.5-inch full-range speaker.
- Replacement priorities would typically focus on the larger 6.5-inch and 8-inch drivers, as these handle more audible frequency ranges and may show greater degradation over time compared to smaller tweeters.
- Component speaker systems with separate tweeters and woofers could potentially replace the factory configuration in door locations, where both tweeter and larger driver positions exist.
- The tweeter-heavy configuration with five separate tweeter locations suggests the factory system emphasized high-frequency dispersion and soundstage width across the listening environment.
- Sound improvements might be achieved by upgrading the 6.5-inch midbass drivers in doors and rear panels, as these handle vocal and instrumental fundamentals critical to perceived audio quality.
