I have a 2016 Model S with the UHFS audio system. It's always sounded anemic, lacking 'punch' (for lack of a better description).
I want to try upgrading the front door speakers to start since speakers can make a noticeable difference while amplifier power seems adequate based on the specs.
I've done some web searches and watched several YouTube 'how to' videos and I don't understand why people seem to be using 6.5" speakers for the front when it seems the UHFS audio system has 200mm (8") woofers in the front doors. It seems to me a good quality 8" woofer could move more air than a 6.5" speaker.
I also don't think it makes sense to use a full range coaxial speaker as a replacement for the door woofers. I would think the amplifier powering the woofers would be tuned to the frequency range of a woofer so using a coaxial speaker would be unnecessary. Sure, the mid-range and high frequencies need some improvement too but to me the system has always been lacking a bass punch so upgrading the woofers is where I want to start.
Are there any direct drop-in replacements for the front UFHS 8" woofers that are 8 inches? Preferably something with a similar impedance (1 ohm based on this site's description).
