Mercedes-Benz CLK63 AMG Behind Rear Seat Speaker Size
The Mercedes-Benz CLK63 AMG behind the rear seat accommodates a 6.5 inch speaker size. Compatible types for the location include midbass and full-range audio units. These specifications cover the 2007 to 2008 model years.
| Year | Type | Size (inch) |
|---|---|---|
| 2008 | Midbass / Full-Range | 6.5 |
| 2007 | 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 behind rear seat location in the Mercedes-Benz CLK63 AMG is a rear deck or rear shelf position, typically mounted horizontally and firing upward toward the rear window or cabin ceiling, which affects sound dispersion across the passenger compartment.
- Horizontal mounting at the rear deck position means the speaker radiates sound indirectly, relying on reflection off the rear glass and headliner to distribute audio toward front and rear occupants.
- The 6.5 inch diameter is a mid-sized cone format that balances excursion capability with spatial efficiency, making it well-suited for rear deck cavities where depth clearance is often restricted by trunk or structural components.
- A 6.5 inch cone area generates sufficient low-midrange output to reinforce bass energy from the rear of the cabin, compensating for the acoustic distance between the driver and the rear deck mounting point.
- The midbass type is a driver optimized for the frequency range roughly between 80 Hz and 500 Hz, handling the lower-midrange and upper-bass frequencies that contribute to the body and weight of vocals and instruments.
- In a behind rear seat position, a midbass driver at 6.5 inches supports the rear soundstage foundation, adding low-frequency reinforcement without requiring a dedicated subwoofer enclosure in the cabin.
- The full-range type covers a broader frequency span, typically from around 60 Hz to 20 kHz, using a single cone or a cone-with-whizzer cone configuration to reproduce bass, midrange, and high-frequency content simultaneously.
- A full-range driver at the behind rear seat location allows the rear position to operate independently without requiring additional tweeters, which is relevant in installations where the rear door or sail panel positions are not utilized.
- The Mercedes-Benz CLK63 AMG behind rear seat position accepts a 6.5 inch driver across both the 2007 and 2008 model years, indicating a consistent mounting aperture and depth specification between those two production years.
- Rear deck placements typically introduce a longer acoustic path to the listener compared to front door or dash locations, meaning lower frequencies produced by a midbass or full-range 6.5 inch driver at this position tend to integrate more gradually into the overall soundfield.
