Additional Notes

  • The factory audio system in the 2012 Infiniti M37 incorporates multiple speaker locations with varied sizes, suggesting a multi-way configuration that distributes different frequency ranges across specific positions throughout the cabin.
  • Tweeters are positioned in both the front door panels and headrests, which may indicate an attempt to optimize high-frequency dispersion toward listener ear level in both front and rear seating areas.
  • The front door panels house three distinct speaker sizes, including 1-inch tweeters, 3-inch midrange units, and 6x9-inch full-range speakers, pointing to a component-style arrangement rather than coaxial integration.
  • A dedicated 10-inch subwoofer location exists in the rear deck center, which could provide low-frequency extension beyond what the door-mounted speakers typically handle.
  • Rear door panels accommodate 6.5-inch speakers compatible with either midbass or full-range drivers, offering flexibility in replacement component selection based on whether separate tweeters are retained or integrated designs are preferred.
  • The center dash contains a 3-inch midrange speaker, potentially serving dialogue clarity or center channel duties if the factory system includes surround processing capabilities.
  • Rear deck lid speakers measure 3 inches and accept full-range drivers, though their positioning may limit their contribution to overall soundstage compared to door-mounted units.
  • Aftermarket upgrading would likely prioritize the front door speakers given their multiple size options and proximity to front passengers, followed by the rear door 6.5-inch locations and the rear deck subwoofer for bass enhancement.
  • The presence of dedicated midrange speakers alongside tweeters suggests replacement strategies might benefit from component speaker sets that match this frequency division rather than coaxial alternatives.
  • Speaker depth and mounting bracket compatibility remain unspecified in these measurements, which would require physical inspection before finalizing replacement component selections.
