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 deck center position in the Hyundai Azera is a dedicated mounting location situated along the rear parcel shelf, between the rear seatback and the rear window.
- A center position on the rear deck places the speaker along the vehicle's longitudinal axis, which differs from the left and right rear deck positions flanking it.
- The rear deck surface in a sedan body style like the Azera is a relatively flat, horizontal panel that sits above the trunk cavity, and the depth of that trunk cavity beneath the deck can act as an enclosure that influences low-frequency output.
- An 8-inch driver occupies a diameter that demands a correspondingly wide mounting cutout and sufficient depth clearance below the deck surface to accommodate the speaker basket and magnet assembly without obstruction from trunk structures.
- At 8 inches, the cone surface area is large enough to move the air volume required for low-frequency reproduction, which is the acoustic basis for the subwoofer designation assigned to the Hyundai Azera rear deck center position across the listed model years.
- A subwoofer is a driver type designed to reproduce frequencies in the low bass range, generally from approximately 20 Hz to 200 Hz, rather than midrange or high-frequency content.
- Subwoofers are not intended for full-range reproduction and are typically crossed over electronically so only low-frequency signals reach the driver, concentrating cone excursion within the frequency band where large cone movement generates useful bass output.
- At the rear deck center location, a subwoofer radiates low-frequency energy into the passenger cabin through the rear window shelf and rear window area, with bass waves propagating forward through the cabin due to the omnidirectional nature of low-frequency sound.
- Low-frequency sound waves have long wavelengths that are relatively non-directional, meaning the rear deck center placement does not impose the same stereo imaging constraints that midrange or high-frequency driver placement would require.
- The trunk cavity below the rear deck of the Azera can function as an informal enclosure for the 8-inch subwoofer, and the volume and seal characteristics of that space affect the driver's bass extension and efficiency.
- Mounting an 8-inch subwoofer in the rear deck center requires that replacement units conform to the original cutout diameter and depth specifications to seat properly within the factory opening.
