Abstract: A system and method for creating a sealed enclosure for a loudspeaker in a vehicle body portion of a vehicle are provided, the vehicle body portion including an inner body panel having a first internal surface and an outer body panel having a second internal surface, wherein the inner body panel and the outer body panel are spaced apart to define a cavity therebetween. The system includes at least one insert member arranged to be received within the cavity and coupled to the first internal surface and the second internal surface to partition the cavity and create the sealed enclosure for the loudspeaker.

Abstract: An audio system for a vehicle is provided with a woofer speaker having a front side for producing a required bass-range acoustic output in a passenger compartment of the vehicle and a back side having an infinite baffle. The audio system includes a bass-compatible speaker disposed in the passenger compartment of the vehicle. A controller is in communication with the woofer and the bass-compatible speaker and is programmed to distribute the required bass-range sound output to the woofer and the bass-compatible speaker based on at least one of a vehicle speed and a sound output level of the audio system.

Abstract: A system and method for tuning an audio system based on a seat position. The system senses and measures any change in seat position from a default seat position and adjusts a set of modified tuning parameters to be applied to the audio system based on the modified seat position. The modified tuning parameters may be mapped to a set of tuning parameters depending on the sensed and measured seat position. Alternatively, the modified tuning parameters may be set somewhere between a minimum set of tuning parameters and a maximum set of tuning parameters based on the sensed and measured seat position.

Abstract: A speaker assembly is provided with a housing, a first speaker and a second speaker both supported by the housing, and a controller. The controller is programmed to determine a location of the housing relative to a docking station. The controller is further programmed to disable the second speaker and control the first speaker to play a low-frequency component of an audio signal in response to the housing being located proximate to the docking station.
