Peugeot Partner Rear Side Panel Speaker Size
The Peugeot Partner rear side 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 from 2008 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 |
| 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 |
|---|---|
| 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 side panel is a structural cavity location, typically enclosed within the vehicle's body panels, which shapes how low-frequency sound develops and projects into the cabin.
- A 6.5 inch driver occupies a mounting diameter that balances cone surface area with physical fitment constraints common to side panel cavities in compact commercial vehicles.
- The 6.5 inch cone area is sufficient to move the air volume needed to reproduce midbass frequencies, generally spanning roughly 80 Hz to 500 Hz, with meaningful output at the lower end of that range.
- In a rear side panel position, a 6.5 inch driver operates at a distance from the front listening area, which affects time alignment and the directional perception of lower midrange frequencies reaching front occupants.
- The Peugeot Partner rear side panel accepts a 6.5 inch mounting footprint across all listed model years from 2008 through 2017, confirming dimensional consistency at that location across the generation.
- Midbass drivers are designed with stiffer suspensions and heavier cone assemblies than tweeters or midrange units, allowing controlled excursion at lower frequencies without distortion in an enclosed panel cavity.
- A full-range driver at 6.5 inches is constructed to reproduce a wide frequency span within a single cone, covering bass through upper midrange without requiring a crossover network, which is relevant when no additional speaker components are present at this location.
- The rear side panel position places the speaker behind and to the side of rear occupants, a geometry where a full-range driver's high-frequency dispersion characteristics affect how clearly the upper frequencies are perceived at off-axis angles.
- Midbass drivers used at 6.5 inches in a side panel context are typically crossed over at the high end to a separate tweeter elsewhere in the vehicle, leaving the panel location responsible for body and warmth in the lower frequency registers.
- The enclosed nature of a side panel cavity influences the rear acoustic loading of a 6.5 inch driver, affecting bass extension and overall sensitivity relative to free-air or ported enclosure performance.
