Additional Notes

  • The 2012 Volkswagen Routan utilizes three distinct speaker locations with two different size configurations throughout the cabin.
  • Dashboard speakers measure 5.25 inches and accept full-range speaker types for upper dashboard sound distribution.
  • Both front and rear door panels accommodate 6x9 inch full-range speakers, creating size uniformity between front and rear door installations.
  • The 6x9 inch format in door locations may provide a larger cone area compared to the dashboard speakers, potentially affecting mid-bass response characteristics.
  • All factory speaker positions support full-range speaker types, which handle multiple frequency ranges within single driver units rather than requiring separate component configurations.
  • The radio cavity accepts both single DIN and double DIN head unit formats, offering flexibility for aftermarket receiver upgrades without dashboard modification requirements.
  • Replacing door panel speakers might take priority over dashboard units given their larger size and typical positioning closer to occupants' ear level.
  • Full-range speakers in these positions would typically handle frequencies from mid-bass through treble ranges without dedicated tweeters or crossover networks.
  • The 6x9 inch oval configuration in four door positions suggests a focus on maximizing speaker surface area within the available panel space constraints.
