Additional Notes

  • The 2009 Scion xD features a component speaker configuration in the front doors, with separate 1-inch tweeters and 6.5-inch midbass or full-range drivers mounted in the door panels.
  • Both front and rear door locations accept 6.5-inch speakers, which could allow for consistency in driver selection when replacing the factory audio components throughout the cabin.
  • The presence of dedicated 1-inch tweeter locations in the front doors suggests the factory system may have been designed with higher frequency reproduction in mind, though aftermarket tweeters might offer improved clarity and detail.
  • Upgrading the 6.5-inch door speakers would likely address midrange frequencies and bass response, as these drivers handle the majority of the audible frequency spectrum in typical automotive installations.
  • The dual-size front door configuration indicates that replacing just the 6.5-inch drivers might leave the original tweeters in place, potentially creating tonal inconsistencies unless the tweeters are also upgraded or the new speakers include integrated crossovers.
  • Component speaker systems designed for 6.5-inch openings typically include separate tweeters that could replace the factory 1-inch units, potentially offering better frequency integration and soundstage characteristics.
  • The rear 6.5-inch locations would primarily contribute to fill and ambiance in the listening environment, though their importance varies depending on whether the focus is on front-stage imaging or overall cabin coverage.
  • The radio's compatibility with both single DIN and double DIN head units provides flexibility for source unit upgrades, which often proves beneficial when trying to drive higher-quality replacement speakers effectively.
