• Genuine Volkswagen woofer for the assigned factory premium-audio system.
• Confirmed front-door installations on either the left or right side where this speaker number is specified.

• For early Passat applications, the catalog specifies production from December 8, 2012.
• Supplied as one speaker. Door trim, grille, amplifier and additional installation hardware are separate.

Common reasons to replace

Distortion from a damaged cone or surround, buzzing from a damaged speaker assembly, loss of output from an electrically failed driver or visible moisture damage may prompt replacement. Compare output with the other speakers and inspect the connection before condemning the unit.

A silent channel or intermittent sound can also result from wiring, a connector, the amplifier or the audio source. Door-trim rattles can resemble speaker distortion. Diagnose the channel and inspect the mounting area so a new speaker is used to correct a verified speaker fault.

Installation and service notes

Match the factory audio option and the part number on the removed speaker. Vehicle model and year alone are insufficient: standard and premium systems use different components, and aftermarket audio changes can alter compatibility. This part is intended to preserve the assigned factory system rather than serve as a universal audio upgrade.

Follow the vehicle-specific door-panel and speaker-removal procedure. Protect the cone and surround, release the connector without pulling on the wiring and inspect the door's moisture protection. Use the specified attachment hardware, secure the assembly evenly and confirm the connector engagement and channel operation before reinstalling the trim.

Fitment

Verify the installed sound system and speaker number before ordering. Engine and transmission choices do not establish speaker compatibility. Standard-audio vehicles require their separately assigned speaker.
