Additional Notes

  • The 2017 Mercedes-Benz S65 AMG front and rear door panels share identical 6.5 inch speaker openings, which may simplify component selection when replacing multiple locations simultaneously.
  • Both front and rear positions accommodate midbass drivers, suggesting that a dedicated subwoofer likely handles lower frequencies in the factory configuration.
  • Full-range speakers represent an alternative to component systems in these door positions, though they would handle mid and high frequencies through a single driver rather than separated tweeters.
  • Midbass drivers typically require proper crossover settings to avoid distortion from frequencies outside their intended range, particularly when paired with separate tweeters.
  • The door panel locations generally offer better midbass performance than dash positions due to larger mounting depth and panel area for sound radiation.
  • Aftermarket component systems would replace these positions with dedicated midbass woofers while adding separate tweeter mounting locations elsewhere in the cabin.
  • Sound staging characteristics could change depending on whether full-range or component speakers are selected for the door positions.
  • Power handling specifications would vary considerably between entry-level and high-performance aftermarket options within the 6.5 inch size category.
