| 2013 | Midrange | 2.5 |
| 2013 | Midbass / Full-Range | 6.5 |
| 2012 | Tweeter | 1 |
| 2012 | Midrange | 2.5 |
| 2012 | Midbass / Full-Range | 6.5 |

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. |
| Midrange | A driver for the middle of the audible range, typically from about 300 Hz to 5,000 Hz, where vocals and most instruments sit. It is often paired with a tweeter and a woofer. |
| Midbass | A driver tuned for upper bass and lower midrange, roughly from 80 Hz to 500 Hz. It has longer cone travel than a full-range unit, which supports stronger bass in doors and panels. |
| Full-Range | A single driver that reproduces bass through treble without a separate crossover network. It is the simplest replacement option and is common in factory audio systems. |
Additional Notes
- The Hyundai Equus front door panel accommodates a 3-way speaker arrangement, with dedicated mounting positions for a 1 inch tweeter, a 2.5 inch midrange, and a 6.5 inch midbass or full-range driver within the same door panel.
- Front door panel locations place speakers along the lower lateral edges of the cabin interior, positioning drivers at roughly knee-to-waist height relative to seated occupants and angling sound toward the listening area from the vehicle's sides.
- The 6.5 inch driver in the front door panel is sized to move a substantial volume of air, which is acoustically necessary for reproducing lower midrange and upper bass frequencies with adequate output in an enclosed door cavity.
- A 6.5 inch midbass speaker is typically associated with a frequency range spanning roughly 60 Hz to 500 Hz, allowing the door panel position to serve as the primary source of bass energy within the front soundstage.
- When a 6.5 inch driver operates in full-range mode, the front door panel mounting location requires the cone to reproduce frequencies well beyond its natural mechanical comfort range, extending up through the midrange and treble regions.
- The 2.5 inch midrange driver is suited to frequencies roughly between 500 Hz and 5,000 Hz, covering the vocal and instrumental presence range that contributes heavily to perceived clarity and detail in the front door listening position.
- A 2.5 inch cone diameter limits the driver's ability to move large volumes of air, making the front door panel an appropriate location insofar as the midrange unit is relieved of low-frequency reproduction by the co-located 6.5 inch driver.
- The 1 inch tweeter is designed to handle high-frequency content, typically from around 2,000 Hz to 20,000 Hz, and the front door panel mounting places the tweeter in a relatively low position, which affects the dispersion angle and arrival time of high frequencies at ear level.
- A 1 inch tweeter dome or cone surface area is small by design, as high-frequency wavelengths are short and a smaller radiating surface maintains wide dispersion without the beaming effect that would occur with a larger diaphragm at the same frequencies.
- The Hyundai Equus front door panel's consistent use of all 3 speaker sizes across the 2011 through 2016 model years indicates a stable mounting geometry and cutout configuration across the full production span covered by the specifications.
- Door panel speaker enclosures are not acoustically sealed in the same way as dedicated speaker cabinets, meaning the 6.5 inch driver in the front door location operates within a partially open baffle environment formed by the door's internal sheet metal and trim cavity.
- The separation of frequency responsibilities across the 3 sizes in the front door panel - low-to-mid reproduction from the 6.5 inch driver, midband from the 2.5 inch midrange, and high frequencies from the 1 inch tweeter - reflects a component speaker architecture rather than a single full-range unit approach.
