Additional Notes

  • The 2016 Audi S6 features a multi-component speaker configuration with separate drivers handling different frequency ranges across various locations throughout the cabin.
  • Three distinct tweeter positions exist in the vehicle, with 0.75-inch units in the rear door panels and 1-inch units in both the center dash and dashboard locations.
  • The front door panels contain dual speaker positions, utilizing a 4-inch midrange driver alongside a 5.25-inch midbass or full-range driver to cover mid and lower frequency reproduction.
  • Rear audio coverage employs multiple speaker sizes, including 0.75-inch tweeters in the door panels and both 6.5-inch midbass/full-range drivers and 4-inch midrange units in the rear deck lid area.
  • A 10-inch subwoofer position in the rear deck lid handles low-frequency output, working in conjunction with the smaller drivers for extended bass response.
  • The center dash location incorporates both a 1-inch tweeter and a 3.5-inch full-range driver, suggesting a dual-purpose design for central audio staging.
  • The varied speaker sizes indicate a factory system designed with dedicated drivers for specific frequency ranges rather than relying solely on full-range speakers.
  • Replacement options would need to account for the specific driver types, as the system separates tweeter, midrange, midbass, and subwoofer functions across different physical locations.
  • The presence of both midbass and full-range compatibility designations for certain positions suggests flexibility in replacement speaker selection depending on desired tonal characteristics.
