Abstract
A loudspeaker arrangement of a vehicle, comprises a speaker including an at least partially transparent diaphragm and a transducer coupled to the diaphragm, wherein movement of the transducer causes vibration of the diaphragm to generate sound by vibration of the diaphragm, the diaphragm having a front face directed towards an interior of the vehicle and an opposite rear face; and a carrier configured to support the diaphragm by supporting the diaphragm at its edges relative to a window glass of the vehicle such that the rear face of the diaphragm faces and is spaced from the window glass.

A loudspeaker arrangement of a vehicle, comprising:
- a speaker including an at least partially transparent diaphragm and a transducer coupled to the diaphragm, wherein movement of the transducer causes vibration of the diaphragm to generate sound by vibration of the diaphragm, the diaphragm having a front face to be directed towards an interior of the vehicle and an opposite rear face;
- a carrier configured to support the diaphragm by supporting the diaphragm at its edges relative to a window glass of the vehicle such that the rear face of the diaphragm faces and is spaced from the window glass;
- wherein the window glass is part of a moving window of the vehicle having an open state and a closed state;
- and
- wherein the diaphragm is dimensioned to maintain a uniform space between an edge of the diaphragm and a portion of the carrier independent of whether the moving window is in the open state or the closed state, wherein the uniform space is open to air circulation therethrough from outside the vehicle when the moving window is in the open state.
