Audi RS7 Dashboard Speaker Size
The Audi RS7 dashboard location accommodates a 1 inch speaker size. Tweeter units represent the compatible audio system replacement types. The specifications cover the years 2014 to 2018.
| Year | Type | Size (inch) |
|---|---|---|
| 2018 | Tweeter | 1 |
| 2017 | Tweeter | 1 |
| 2016 | Tweeter | 1 |
| 2015 | Tweeter | 1 |
| 2014 | Tweeter | 1 |
Speaker Types
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Tweeter | A small driver built for high frequencies, typically from about 2,000 Hz to 20,000 Hz. It adds treble detail and clarity and is usually mounted near ear level or aimed at the listener. |
Additional Notes
- The dashboard speaker location in the Audi RS7 accommodates a 1-inch driver across the 2014 through 2018 model years.
- A 1-inch diameter is a standard dimension for tweeter drivers, as the small diaphragm surface area is suited to reproducing high-frequency content, typically spanning the range from approximately 2,000 Hz to 20,000 Hz.
- The tweeter is the sole compatible speaker type for the Audi RS7 dashboard location, which is consistent with how dashboard positions are acoustically used - placed near the windshield and instrument panel to project high-frequency sound toward the listener at ear level.
- Dashboard placement positions the tweeter at a relatively close distance to the front occupants, which supports the short-wavelength, directional nature of high-frequency sound reproduction.
- High-frequency sound waves are highly directional, meaning the physical aim and angle of a dashboard-mounted tweeter has a direct influence on the perceived stereo imaging and soundstage width experienced by front-seat occupants.
- The 1-inch cone or dome diaphragm of a tweeter requires minimal excursion depth to reproduce high-frequency content, which is consistent with the shallow mounting depth typically available within a dashboard cavity.
- Tweeter drivers in dashboard positions are commonly crossed over from the low and midrange frequencies handled by woofers or midrange drivers located elsewhere in the vehicle, such as in the doors or rear deck.
- The compact footprint of a 1-inch tweeter is suited to the spatially constrained mounting points found within an Audi RS7 dashboard, where surface area and depth clearance are limited by the instrument panel structure.
