Additional Notes

  • The A-pillar locations in the 2020 Chevrolet Onix are sized at 1 inch, which is a dedicated tweeter position, suggesting the factory configuration may have been designed with high-frequency reproduction in mind at ear level.
  • The front and rear door panels share the same 6.5-inch opening size, which could allow for a uniform speaker selection across all four door positions, potentially simplifying a full-door replacement approach.
  • The 6.5-inch positions are noted as compatible with either midbass or full-range driver types, meaning the door locations could support either a component system strategy or a simpler coaxial arrangement depending on the intended audio setup.
  • Given that the A-pillar tweeters sit at a higher mounting point than the door-mounted drivers, the separation between high-frequency and mid-to-low-frequency sources may contribute to a more defined soundstage when dedicated component-style speakers are used.
  • The front door panel positions may represent a higher replacement priority, as mid and upper-bass frequencies reproduced at the front of the cabin tend to have a more noticeable impact on overall perceived sound quality than rear fill sources.
  • Replacing the rear door 6.5-inch units with full-range drivers could provide supplemental sound coverage throughout the cabin, though midbass-only drivers in those positions might be considered if a front-focused listening experience is preferred.
