Additional Notes

  • The 2017 Audi S7 factory audio system incorporates multiple speaker sizes distributed across various locations, with tweeters positioned in the center dash, dashboard, and rear door panels to handle high-frequency reproduction.
  • Midrange drivers are installed in the C-pillar at 3.5 inches and front door panels at 4 inches, suggesting a three-way component setup in the front stage that separates frequency ranges among dedicated drivers.
  • Both front and rear door panels contain 6.5-inch speakers compatible with midbass or full-range drivers, indicating these locations may serve as the primary sound sources for mid and lower frequencies in their respective positions.
  • The center dash includes a 3.5-inch full-range speaker, which likely handles dialogue and center-channel content in the audio staging.
  • A factory subwoofer location exists in the cargo area with an 8-inch driver, providing low-frequency extension for the sound system.
  • Replacement priorities might focus on the 6.5-inch door speakers first, as these positions typically contribute most significantly to overall sound quality and tonal balance in the listening environment.
  • The multiple tweeter locations suggest the factory system emphasizes treble dispersion throughout the cabin, which aftermarket upgrades would need to consider when selecting components.
  • Upgrading the 4-inch and 3.5-inch midrange drivers could refine vocal clarity and instrumental definition, particularly if component sets with crossovers are implemented.
  • The 8-inch subwoofer location may accept aftermarket replacements or enclosures, though space constraints in the cargo area would influence upgrade options for enhanced bass output.
