Hyundai Veloster Speaker FAQ

Which speakers should I upgrade first in my Hyundai Veloster for the biggest sound improvement?

Start with the front door 6.5 inch speakers. These handle most of your music's midrange frequencies and vocals. The Hyundai Veloster's front doors can accommodate both coaxial and component speakers, but components will give you better imaging since the 1 inch tweeters are already separated up high. Expect to see power handling around 50-100 watts RMS with 4 ohm impedance. The front speakers do most of the heavy lifting in your sound system.

Can I install component speakers in all four doors of my Hyundai Veloster?

Yes, both front and rear door panels accept component systems. The rear doors also take 6.5 inch speakers with the same mounting depth as the fronts. However, you might want to stick with coaxials in the rear since the Veloster's rear seating position doesn't benefit as much from separated drivers. Component speakers typically require 2-4 ohms and handle 75-150 watts RMS. The rear positioning makes imaging less critical anyway.

What's the purpose of the 3.5 inch center dash speaker in the Hyundai Veloster?

The center dash speaker fills in the soundstage between your front doors. It's designed for full-range or coaxial speakers, usually handling frequencies from 80 Hz to 20 kHz. Most aftermarket 3.5 inch speakers put out around 30-60 watts RMS at 4 ohms. This location helps with dialogue clarity and creates a wider stereo image. Some people disconnect it entirely, but you'll notice the gap in your soundstage if you do.

Should I replace the 8 inch rear side panel speakers with subwoofers or full-range drivers?

Depends on your setup. The Hyundai Veloster's rear side panels can handle both full-range speakers and subwoofers. If you're adding a dedicated subwoofer elsewhere, go with full-range drivers rated around 100-200 watts RMS. They'll extend your rear fill down to maybe 50-60 Hz. But if this is your only bass source, consider 8 inch subwoofers that can dig down to 35-40 Hz. The enclosure volume back there isn't huge though.

Do I need to replace the 1 inch tweeters if I'm upgrading to component speakers?

Not necessarily. The factory tweeter locations in the Hyundai Veloster's front doors work well with aftermarket component systems. Check if your new components include tweeters that fit the 1 inch mounting points. Most quality tweeters handle 20-25 watts RMS and play from 2 kHz up to 20 kHz or higher. You might need tweeter adapters depending on the brand. The existing crossover points probably won't match your new speakers though.
