Infiniti Q60 Speaker FAQ

What speakers should I upgrade first in my Infiniti Q60?

Start with the front door panels. The 6.5-inch speakers here handle most of your music's critical frequencies and sit closest to your ears. Since the Infiniti Q60 accepts both coaxial and component speakers in front, you have flexibility. Component speakers typically offer better soundstage separation - the tweeter mounts separately from the woofer. Though coaxials might be easier to install if you're doing the work yourself. The rear doors can wait since they mainly provide fill and ambiance.

Can I mix coaxial and component speakers in my Infiniti Q60?

Yes, but it's not ideal. You could run components up front and coaxials in the rear doors - this actually works pretty well since the rear 6.5-inch speakers just need to blend with the fronts. The impedance should match though, typically 4 ohms for most aftermarket options. Running different speaker types front-to-rear is more common than left-to-right. Just avoid mixing impedances or you'll create power imbalances that your amp won't appreciate.

What's the power handling for 6.5-inch speakers in the Infiniti Q60?

Most quality 6.5-inch aftermarket speakers handle 50-100 watts RMS, which should work fine with the Q60's factory amplifier output. The stock system probably pushes around 20-30 watts to each door speaker. If you're adding an external amplifier later, look for speakers rated at least 75 watts RMS to give yourself headroom. Peak power ratings are mostly marketing - focus on RMS numbers. Component speakers sometimes have lower power handling on the tweeter portion, usually around 25-40 watts RMS.

Do full-range speakers work better than coaxials in the Infiniti Q60 rear doors?

Full-range speakers are basically coaxials without the tweeter dome. They might actually work better in rear positions since you don't want too much high-frequency energy coming from behind you anyway. The rear door location in the Q60 gets some cabin reflection that can make tweeters sound harsh. Full-range designs focus more on midrange clarity, which helps with vocal reproduction and general fill. Though if your front speakers lack bass response, coaxials in back might help balance things out.

What frequency response should I look for in 6.5-inch Infiniti Q60 speakers?

Target speakers that reach down to at least 60-70 Hz on the low end and up to 20 kHz on top. The 6.5-inch size handles midrange beautifully but struggles with deep bass - that's normal. Most quality 6.5s roll off around 50-60 Hz anyway. For the highs, make sure you're getting crisp response up to at least 15 kHz, especially if you're going with coaxials. The Q60's interior acoustics tend to absorb some high frequencies, so you want speakers that can push through that.
