Toyota 86 Dashboard Speaker Size
The Toyota 86 dashboard location accommodates a 1 inch speaker size. Compatible types for the dashboard include tweeter units. These specifications cover the 2017 to 2018 model years.
| Year | Type | Size (inch) |
|---|---|---|
| 2018 | Tweeter | 1 |
| 2017 | Tweeter | 1 |
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. |
Additional Notes
- The dashboard location in the Toyota 86 accommodates a 1-inch speaker mounting position.
- A 1-inch driver in a dashboard position operates within the high-frequency range, typically covering frequencies from around 2,000 Hz up to 20,000 Hz or beyond.
- The tweeter type is a dedicated high-frequency transducer, designed to reproduce the upper portion of the audible spectrum including upper harmonics, consonants in vocals, and the attack of instruments such as cymbals and strings.
- Dashboard placement positions tweeters at or near ear level for front-seat occupants, which is acoustically significant because high frequencies are highly directional and benefit from a direct line-of-sight path to the listener.
- The small physical diameter of a 1-inch driver corresponds directly to the short wavelengths of high-frequency sound, as a smaller diaphragm can move rapidly enough to reproduce such wavelengths accurately.
- The Toyota 86 dashboard speaker location is exclusively compatible with tweeters, meaning the mounting cavity dimensions and depth are sized for high-frequency drivers rather than mid-range or full-range units.
- In a dashboard installation, a tweeter's forward-facing orientation contributes to stereo imaging by providing a wide, stable soundstage across the width of the front cabin.
- The 1-inch mounting specification for the Toyota 86 dashboard, confirmed across both the 2017 and 2018 model years, indicates dimensional consistency in the speaker cutout between those two production years.
