Hyundai Veloster Rear Door Panel Speaker Size
The Hyundai Veloster rear door panel accommodates a 6.5 inch speaker size across all listed model years. Compatible speaker types for the location include midbass and full-range units. The specifications cover a range of years from 2012 to 2017.
| Year | Type | Size (inch) |
|---|---|---|
| 2017 | Midbass / Full-Range | 6.5 |
| 2016 | Midbass / Full-Range | 6.5 |
| 2015 | Midbass / Full-Range | 6.5 |
| 2014 | Midbass / Full-Range | 6.5 |
| 2013 | Midbass / Full-Range | 6.5 |
| 2012 | Midbass / Full-Range | 6.5 |
Speaker Types
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| 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 Veloster rear door panel speaker location accommodates a 6.5 inch driver across the 2012 through 2017 model years.
- A 6.5 inch speaker occupies a mid-sized mounting footprint, typically requiring a cutout depth and diameter suited to standard door cavity dimensions found in compact hatchback body styles.
- Door panel mounting positions the speaker within the lower portion of the door, where the driver faces into the cabin at an angle determined by the panel's curvature and the speaker's flush or surface-mount orientation.
- The rear door location places the speaker behind the primary listening position, meaning the driver radiates sound toward the rear seat area and reflects indirectly toward front occupants.
- A 6.5 inch cone has a radiating surface area that supports low-midrange and upper-bass frequency reproduction, generally operating effectively in the range from approximately 60 Hz to 5 kHz depending on the driver's construction.
- The midbass type, listed as compatible for the Hyundai Veloster rear door panel location, is a driver designed to handle the lower portion of the midrange and upper bass frequencies, typically crossed over from a subwoofer below and a midrange or tweeter above.
- A midbass driver in a door panel cavity relies on the door's internal volume and any damping material present to manage rear-wave interference, which affects the low-frequency output of the cone.
- The full-range type, also listed as compatible for the Hyundai Veloster rear door panel location, is a driver intended to reproduce a broad frequency spectrum without requiring additional crossover components, covering bass, midrange, and upper frequencies from a single cone.
- Full-range drivers in door panel positions are subject to baffle-step effects, where the transition from the door surface acting as a baffle to free-air radiation causes a reduction in bass output at lower frequencies.
- The 6.5 inch diameter is a common standard in automotive door panel applications, and mounting hardware, grilles, and adapter plates are generally dimensioned around a nominal basket and cutout size associated with the specification.
