The 10th-generation Accord 260 Elite edition is equipped with a total of 8 speakers: one in each of the four doors, one on each A-pillar, and one on each side below the rear windshield. Speakers are the audio signal devices in a car. During driving, the driver can emit necessary audio signals as required or regulated to warn pedestrians and alert other vehicles, ensuring traffic safety. They are also used for urging movement and transmitting signals. Below is an introduction to car speakers: 1. Working Principle: Car electric speakers produce sound through the vibration of a metal diaphragm. They consist of an iron core, magnetic coil, contacts, armature, diaphragm, etc. When the driver presses the horn switch, current flows through the contacts to the coil, generating a magnetic force that pulls the armature, forcing the diaphragm to move. The movement of the armature disconnects the contacts, interrupting the current and causing the magnetic force to disappear. The diaphragm, along with the armature, returns to its original position due to its own elasticity and the spring plate, closing the contacts again. The current then flows through the contacts to the coil, generating magnetic force and repeating the above process. This cycle continues, causing the diaphragm to vibrate repeatedly and produce sound. 2. Different Types: Car speakers are categorized by sound power into air horns and electric horns; by shape into cylindrical, spiral, and basin types; and by frequency into high-pitch and low-pitch horns.
When I drove this car, I carefully observed the speaker positions. The 10th-generation Accord 260 Elite version comes standard with 4 speakers, mainly distributed on the four doors. There is one on each side of the front doors, roughly located on the door panel below the armrest, and the rear door positions are also similar in the middle lower area. There are no separate tweeters or center speakers, so when listening to music, the sound seems to mainly come from the leg area. If you sit in the middle of the back row, you might feel a slight imbalance in the left and right sound fields. This layout is considered a basic configuration, which is completely sufficient for daily radio and navigation use, but audiophiles might find the surround sound lacking. When adding tweeters, you can consider placing them on the corners of the front windshield.
The speakers of the 10th-gen Accord 260 Elite are located in the middle of the four doors. The front door speakers are positioned roughly below the armrests, while the rear door speakers are slightly higher. All four speakers are mid-bass units, offering simple and practical performance. When listening to music while driving, the sound is fuller and clearer in the front seats, but rear passengers may feel the sound is somewhat muffled and coming from below. If you notice a speaker isn't working, it's relatively easy to check by removing the door panel. Some people choose to install tweeters in the A-pillars themselves, as the factory actually leaves space for wiring. This basic setup is sufficient for daily use, though it does lack the center speaker effect found in higher trim levels.
The car's speakers are quite basic, with two in each of the front and rear doors. The sound from the front speakers rises from thigh level, while the rear speakers are positioned at waist height. I tested it on the highway, and the navigation is very clear from the driver's seat. However, if music and conversation are happening simultaneously in the back seat, the heavy bass can cause a bit of a buzzing sound. It's advisable not to let water accumulate in the doors, as it can easily seep into the speakers. If you're considering upgrading the audio system, installing tweeters in the triangular panel area near the rearview mirror is the most cost-effective option. Modifying the original speaker locations is of medium difficulty.
