Audi allroad Rear Speaker Size
The Audi allroad rear location accommodates an 8 inch speaker size across all listed model years. Compatible types for the rear audio system include subwoofer replacement units. The specifications cover a range of 2013 to 2016.
| Year | Type | Size (inch) |
|---|---|---|
| 2016 | Subwoofer | 8 |
| 2015 | Subwoofer | 8 |
| 2014 | Subwoofer | 8 |
| 2013 | Subwoofer | 8 |
Speaker Types
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Subwoofer | A large driver for the lowest bass notes, typically from about 20 Hz to 120 Hz. It is usually installed in a separate enclosure and works alongside the other speakers. |
Additional Notes
- The rear location of the Audi allroad accommodates an 8-inch driver across the 2013 through 2016 model years.
- An 8-inch woofer cone surface area is large enough to move the air volume required for extended low-frequency reproduction, making the rear placement acoustically suited for bass-heavy output rather than midrange or high-frequency detail.
- The rear cabin position places the driver behind or beneath the primary listening area, which is a common enclosure arrangement for subwoofer-class drivers that rely on omnidirectional low-frequency dispersion rather than on-axis projection.
- A subwoofer is a driver type dedicated to reproducing the lowest portion of the audible frequency spectrum, generally below 80 to 120 Hz, where wavelengths are long enough that localization by the human ear is minimal.
- Because low frequencies are perceived as non-directional, a rear installation position does not create the same imaging concerns associated with placing midrange or full-range drivers away from the front soundstage.
- The 8-inch diameter is a transitional size in subwoofer applications, capable of delivering meaningful bass extension while fitting within the spatial constraints of a passenger vehicle's rear compartment or enclosure cavity.
- The Audi allroad rear speaker location, paired with the 8-inch subwoofer specification, indicates a sealed or integrated enclosure designed around the physical dimensions of that specific driver diameter.
- Subwoofer drivers of the 8-inch class typically require a defined enclosure volume to perform at their rated frequency response, meaning the rear cavity dimensions of the allroad are a factor in acoustic output and tuning.
