Land Rover LR2 Rear Door Panel Speaker Size
The Land Rover LR2 rear door panel accommodates a 1 inch speaker size and 6.5 inch speakers, supporting both tweeter and midbass / full-range compatible types. The audio system in the rear door panel location accepts tweeters alongside midbass and full-range units. These specifications cover the 2008 to 2015 model range.
| Year | Type | Size (inch) |
|---|---|---|
| 2015 | Tweeter | 1 |
| 2015 | Midbass / Full-Range | 6.5 |
| 2014 | Tweeter | 1 |
| 2014 | Midbass / Full-Range | 6.5 |
| 2013 | Tweeter | 1 |
| 2013 | Midbass / Full-Range | 6.5 |
| 2012 | Midbass / Full-Range | 6.5 |
| 2011 | Midbass / Full-Range | 6.5 |
| 2010 | Midbass / Full-Range | 6.5 |
| 2009 | Midbass / Full-Range | 6.5 |
| 2008 | 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. |
| 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 rear door panel location in the Land Rover LR2 places speakers within the lower vertical surface of the door, a position that affects both sound dispersion angle and the proximity of the speaker to the listening position in the rear seating area.
- Door panel mounting subjects speakers to mechanical vibration from road surfaces and door operation, which is a relevant factor in the physical durability requirements of any driver installed in the rear door panel of the LR2.
- The 6.5 inch size appears across all model years represented in the specifications, spanning 2008 through 2015, making the rear door panel cutout a consistent dimension throughout the LR2's production range in the specifications.
- A 6.5 inch driver occupies a mid-sized cone area that supports low-midrange and upper bass frequency reproduction, roughly covering the 60 Hz to 5 kHz range depending on driver design, which aligns with the midbass and full-range type designations listed for the rear door panel location.
- In a door panel position, a 6.5 inch midbass driver handles the lower frequency content that benefits from placement near floor level, where boundary reinforcement from door surfaces and the vehicle floor can support bass output.
- A full-range 6.5 inch driver, as listed for the rear door panel, is designed to reproduce a wider frequency spectrum without requiring a separate tweeter, making solo installation in the door panel acoustically functional across the audible range.
- The 1 inch tweeter size listed for the Land Rover LR2 rear door panel in 2013, 2014, and 2015 indicates a secondary mounting point within the same door panel, separate from the 6.5 inch opening, sized to accommodate a small high-frequency driver.
- A 1 inch tweeter reproduces high frequencies, typically above 2 kHz to 3 kHz, where wavelengths are short enough that the small diaphragm diameter produces accurate and controlled dispersion.
- In a rear door panel position, a 1 inch tweeter is angled toward the vehicle's interior listening space, where high-frequency directivity means placement and angle significantly influence how treble content reaches occupants in the rear seats.
- The coexistence of a 1 inch tweeter opening and a 6.5 inch midbass opening in the rear door panel for 2013 through 2015 models indicates the panel was designed to support a 2-way speaker configuration at each rear door position.
