Abstract
A loudspeaker system for a motor vehicle has at least one loudspeaker and a structure to which the loudspeaker is fitted. The at least one loudspeaker is fitted to the structure in such a manner that a longitudinal axis of the at least one loudspeaker extends at an angle between 0 and 45° relative to a plane in which the structure extends.
Claims14
A loudspeaker system for a motor vehicle, comprising:
- a mounting element extending in a plane, the mounting element being formed by an intermediate plate of a door of the motor vehicle;
- a loudspeaker mounted to the mounting element such that a longitudinal axis of the loudspeaker extends at an angle between 0° and 45° relative to the plane in which the mounting element extends;
- and
- a shell-shaped, curved structural member connected directly to the mounting element at a point between one end of the structural member which is connected to the loudspeaker and another end of the structural member, the loudspeaker being fitted in the structural member to mount the loudspeaker to the mounting element, the structural member being open in a direction of a door lining,
- wherein the structural member is connected to the loudspeaker at the one end and then extends from a sound projection side of the loudspeaker toward a direction in which a sound wave is projected from the loudspeaker, and the another end of the structural member terminates on a same side as the sound projection side of the loudspeaker and is spaced apart from the loudspeaker.

A motor vehicle, comprising:
- a passenger compartment;
- a vehicle door having an outer sheet, an intermediate plate and a door lining, the door lining facing the passenger compartment, the intermediate plate extending in a plane and serving as a mounting element;
- a loudspeaker mounted to the mounting element such that a longitudinal axis of the loudspeaker extends at an angle between 0° and 45° relative to the plane in which the intermediate plate extends;
- and
- a shell-shaped, curved structural member connected directly to the mounting element at a point between one end of the structural member which is connected to the loudspeaker and another end of the structural member, the loudspeaker being fitted in the structural member to mount the loudspeaker to the mounting element, the structural member being open in a direction of a door lining,
- wherein the structural member is connected to the loudspeaker at the one end and then extends from a sound projection side of the loudspeaker toward a direction in which a sound wave is projected from the loudspeaker, and the another end of the structural member terminates on a same side as the sound projection side of the loudspeaker and is spaced apart from the loudspeaker.
