- The front and rear door panels in the 2016 Chevrolet Traverse use 6.5 inch speakers, which tend to be the highest-priority locations for replacement, as midbass and full-range drivers at this size typically carry the most weight in overall audio output.
- The A-pillar position is sized for a 1 inch tweeter, which suggests a dedicated high-frequency driver may already be part of the factory speaker layout, potentially allowing for a more distributed frequency spread across the cabin.
- The dashboard and rear side panel positions both accommodate 3.5 inch speakers, though their compatible types differ. The dashboard position supports a full-range driver, while the rear side panel is designated for a midrange driver, indicating each location may serve a somewhat distinct role in the frequency spectrum.
- A full-range driver in the dashboard position could be handling a broad portion of the frequency response on its own, which may point to some audible limitation given the relatively small cone area of a 3.5 inch unit.
- The midbass designation for the door panel positions suggests those locations are likely optimized for lower-mid and upper-bass frequencies, and replacing them with quality midbass drivers could potentially result in a noticeable improvement in punch and body within that range.
