Additional Notes

  • The front door panel positions in the 2017 Nissan Kicks use a 6.75 inch mounting size, which is a somewhat less common sizing compared to standard 6.5 inch or 6x9 inch formats, so compatible replacement options may be more limited than typical.
  • The A-pillar locations are sized for 1 inch tweeters, which suggests the factory audio configuration may have included a degree of high-frequency separation from the main woofer positions, rather than relying solely on full-range drivers throughout.
  • The rear door panels accommodate 5.25 inch drivers, a size generally associated with midbass or full-range reproduction, though this sizing tends to offer less low-frequency output compared to larger formats like 6.5 inch or 6.75 inch.
  • Given that the front door panels carry the larger 6.75 inch sizing and are positioned closer to the listening area, they could be considered a higher priority for replacement when sound quality improvement is the primary concern.
  • The presence of dedicated tweeter positions at the A-pillars suggests that component speaker sets, which separate tweeter and woofer drivers, may be a more suitable fit for the front stage than coaxial drivers, depending on installation preference.
  • The combination of A-pillar tweeters and front door midbass positions implies a front soundstage setup that could potentially support a more focused stereo image when appropriately matched replacement drivers are installed.
