- The front door panel and rear door panel both share the same 6.5 inch opening, which may suggest that a single speaker model could potentially serve both locations, possibly simplifying a replacement process for the 2018 Peugeot 508.
- The cargo area houses an 8 inch subwoofer, which tends to handle low-frequency reproduction. This placement is fairly typical for a dedicated subwoofer, as the rear enclosure space may offer some natural acoustic reinforcement for bass output.
- The A-pillar and rear door panel each appear to accommodate a 1 inch tweeter. Tweeters at this size generally focus on high-frequency content, and having them in both front and rear positions could suggest an attempt at a more distributed high-frequency soundstage throughout the cabin.
- The front door panel positions, rated for midbass or full-range drivers at 6.5 inch, tend to carry much of the midrange and upper-bass frequencies. These locations are often considered a higher priority in speaker replacement, since door-mounted drivers typically contribute significantly to the overall perceived sound quality.
- The center dash holds a 3.5 inch full-range driver, which is a relatively modest size. Full-range drivers at this size may struggle to reproduce deep bass or the uppermost high frequencies with much clarity, so its role could be more supplementary than primary in the overall audio setup.
- Replacing the 6.5 inch midbass or full-range drivers in both door panel positions, combined with properly matched 1 inch tweeters, could potentially result in a more noticeable improvement in midrange clarity and stereo imaging compared to focusing on other locations first.
