Additional Notes

  • The 2013 Mercedes-Benz S400 uses 6.5 inch openings in both the front and rear door panels, which may allow for consistent staging across the cabin when replacing factory units.
  • Door panel locations typically accept midbass drivers or full-range speakers, though midbass components paired with separate tweeters often provide better frequency separation than full-range alternatives.
  • Aftermarket midbass drivers in this size range generally handle midrange and lower frequencies more effectively when crossed over with a dedicated tweeter network, while full-range speakers attempt to reproduce the entire spectrum from a single cone.
  • Replacing door speakers might address issues like cone deterioration or surround rot that can develop in factory units over time, potentially restoring clarity in vocal ranges and impact in mid-bass response.
  • The uniform 6.5 inch specification across all door positions suggests that component sets with matching woofers could maintain tonal balance between front and rear soundstages during installation.
