Hyundai Veloster Rear Side Panel Speaker Size
The Hyundai Veloster rear side panel accommodates an 8 inch speaker size. The compatible audio type for the location is a woofer. These specifications cover the 2012 to 2017 model range.
| Year | Type | Size (inch) |
|---|---|---|
| 2017 | Woofer | 8 |
| 2016 | Woofer | 8 |
| 2015 | Woofer | 8 |
| 2014 | Woofer | 8 |
| 2013 | Woofer | 8 |
| 2012 | Woofer | 8 |
Speaker Types
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Woofer | A larger driver for low frequencies, typically from about 40 Hz up to 1,000 Hz. It delivers most of the bass and lower midrange in a door or panel speaker system. |
Additional Notes
- The rear side panel location in the Hyundai Veloster positions speakers within the interior quarter panel area, a mounting zone typically enclosed by trim and structurally constrained by the vehicle's body.
- An 8-inch driver occupies a relatively large cone area, which allows for greater air displacement and stronger low-to-mid frequency reproduction compared to smaller driver sizes commonly found in door locations.
- The rear side panel mounting environment often places speakers in a semi-enclosed or partially baffled space, where the surrounding panel structure acts as a partial acoustic boundary influencing bass response and resonance behavior.
- The 8-inch diameter requires a mounting cutout depth and diameter sufficient to clear the driver's basket and magnet assembly, meaning available cavity depth behind the panel is a critical physical constraint at the Hyundai Veloster rear side panel location.
- A woofer is a driver type engineered to reproduce low-frequency content, generally operating across a range from approximately 40 Hz to 500 Hz, with the specific crossover point depending on the system configuration.
- Placement of a woofer in the rear side panel positions low-frequency output toward the rear of the cabin, which can reinforce the sense of bass presence felt throughout the passenger compartment.
- The woofer designation across all listed model years from 2012 through 2017 indicates the rear side panel location in the Hyundai Veloster is intended exclusively for low-frequency driver types, not full-range or high-frequency units.
- An 8-inch woofer in a side panel environment relies on the panel cavity and any sealed or ported enclosure characteristics of the trim assembly to define the low-frequency extension and overall output efficiency of the driver.
- The physical mass and motor structure of an 8-inch woofer are generally greater than those of smaller drivers, which can place additional demands on the mounting surface rigidity of the rear side panel trim.
- Because a woofer handles only the lower portion of the audio frequency spectrum, the rear side panel location in the Veloster functions as part of a multi-speaker system, with other locations in the vehicle responsible for mid-range and high-frequency reproduction.
