- The front door panel positions in the 2016 Nissan Kicks appear to take a 6.75-inch driver, which is a somewhat less common size compared to the more widely available 6.5-inch or 7-inch formats, so component compatibility may be worth verifying before selecting a replacement.
- The A-pillar location is sized for a 1-inch tweeter, suggesting the factory audio configuration may have included a degree of frequency separation at the front stage, with high-frequency reproduction handled separately from the mid-range and bass content.
- The rear door panel accommodates a 5.25-inch driver in a midbass or full-range capacity, which is generally considered a secondary replacement priority compared to the front stage positions, as front speaker placement tends to have a greater influence on perceived soundstage imaging.
- Where a full-range driver is installed in the front door panel position, it would be handling a wide frequency spectrum from a single cone, whereas a dedicated midbass driver paired with the A-pillar tweeter could potentially allow for a more defined separation of high and low frequencies across the front soundstage.
- The rear door panel's 5.25-inch size may produce somewhat less low-frequency output compared to the larger 6.75-inch front drivers, which could result in an uneven tonal balance between the front and rear of the cabin if both positions are not considered together during a speaker replacement.
