2020 Nissan Kicks Speaker Sizes

The 2020 Nissan Kicks factory audio system contains specific factory mounting locations where the a-pillar accommodates a 1 inch speaker size, and the headrest accepts 2.5 inch units. Furthermore, the rear door panel accommodates 5.25 inch speakers, while the front door panel supports 6.75 inch speakers. Compatible speaker types for a replacement upgrade project include tweeter, full-range, and midbass components.

Additional Notes

  • The front door panel locations in the 2020 Nissan Kicks take 6.75 inch speakers, which is a somewhat uncommon sizing that may require attention when sourcing replacement drivers.
  • The rear door panel positions appear to accommodate 5.25 inch speakers, which tend to offer a narrower midbass response range compared to the larger front door units.
  • The A-pillar tweeters are listed at 1 inch, suggesting these high-frequency drivers handle the upper portion of the audible spectrum in a dedicated tweeter role rather than a full-range capacity.
  • The headrest positions are noted at 2.5 inch full-range sizing, which is a relatively small format that may limit low-frequency output given the physical constraints of that driver size.
  • Front door panel locations are generally considered a higher replacement priority, as the 6.75 inch midbass or full-range drivers there tend to have a stronger influence on overall midrange and bass response than the smaller rear or headrest positions.
  • A staged upgrade approach could reasonably begin with the front door panel speakers, as improving the largest drivers in the system may yield more noticeable changes in tonal balance than addressing the smaller headrest or A-pillar positions first.
  • The combination of A-pillar tweeters and front door midbass drivers suggests the factory system may be structured around a partially separated frequency design, where distinct high and mid-low frequency reproduction is handled by separate speaker locations.
