Audi S7 Speaker FAQ

Which speakers should I upgrade first in my Audi S7?

Start with the 6.5 inch speakers in your front and rear door panels. These handle most of the frequency range and deliver the biggest impact for your money. The front door 6.5 inch units typically see around 40-60 watts RMS and work at 4 ohms impedance. Component speakers work better here than coaxials - you get separate tweeters and better staging. The rear door 6.5 inch speakers support the soundstage but aren't as critical. Skip the dashboard tweeters initially unless you're doing a complete component system upgrade.

Can I use component speakers in the Audi S7 door locations?

Yes, both front and rear door panels in the S7 accept component speakers. The existing 1 inch tweeters in various locations can integrate with new component sets. Front doors have dedicated 4 inch and 6.5 inch positions - the 6.5 inch spot works best for the main component driver. You might need custom mounting brackets depending on the aftermarket brand. The factory crossovers probably need bypassing for proper component integration. Some installers run new tweeter wires to the existing 1 inch locations rather than using the door-mounted tweeters.

What's the purpose of the 4 inch speakers in the Audi S7 front doors?

The 4 inch front door speakers handle midrange frequencies, roughly 200Hz to 3kHz. They fill the gap between the 6.5 inch drivers and the 1 inch tweeters in the factory setup. These typically receive 25-35 watts and work at 4 ohms. When upgrading, you could replace them with dedicated midrange drivers or eliminate them entirely if you install high-quality 6.5 inch components. Some people disconnect the 4 inch speakers to reduce frequency overlap. The S7's sound might actually improve with fewer competing drivers in the same frequency range.

Should I replace the 3.5 inch speakers in my Audi S7?

The 3.5 inch speakers in the center dash and C-pillar locations add fill and ambiance but aren't crucial for sound quality. They typically handle 15-25 watts at 4 ohms and cover upper midrange frequencies. Replace them after upgrading the main 6.5 inch door speakers. The center dash 3.5 inch unit affects vocal clarity and stereo imaging. C-pillar speakers provide rear fill for passengers. If your S7 has the premium audio system, these locations might be more important for the factory surround processing. Budget upgrades should focus elsewhere first.
