Additional Notes
- The 2017 Ford Fusion audio system contains a combination of tweeters, midrange drivers, and larger speakers spread across multiple locations throughout the cabin, suggesting a factory configuration designed to distribute different frequency ranges to specific positions.
- Tweeters in both front and rear door panels measure 1 inch and handle high-frequency reproduction, while the larger 6.5 inch speakers in the same door locations accommodate midbass and full-range capabilities, indicating a potential two-way component setup in the door assemblies.
- The center dash position houses a 3.5 inch full-range speaker, which may serve to anchor center-channel imaging or fill in midrange frequencies for front-seat occupants.
- Rear deck areas feature both a 3.5 inch midrange speaker in the center position and 6x9 inch full-range speakers in the deck lid, providing multiple options for rear soundstage enhancement when upgrading the factory audio.
- Replacing the 6.5 inch door speakers with aftermarket midbass or full-range units could provide the most noticeable improvement in overall sound quality, as door-mounted speakers typically handle the majority of musical content and benefit from the door cavity's acoustic space.
- The 6x9 inch rear deck speakers offer a larger surface area compared to the door-mounted 6.5 inch units, potentially allowing for greater output and bass extension when replaced with quality aftermarket full-range speakers.
- Upgrading the 1 inch tweeters in the door panels with higher-quality aftermarket units could enhance high-frequency detail and clarity, particularly when paired with component speaker sets that include crossover networks.
- The radio opening accepts both single DIN and double DIN head units, providing flexibility for aftermarket receiver installations that may include enhanced amplification or digital signal processing capabilities to drive upgraded speakers.
