Disclosed is a speaker system including a first panel that is an outer plate of a vehicle door, a second panel disposed on a vehicle interior side of the vehicle door, a third panel disposed between the first panel and the second panel, a speaker unit that has a sound emitting surface for emitting a sound toward the vehicle interior and is mounted on the second panel or the third panel, a first coupling mechanism that couples a peripheral portion of the second panel to the third panel, and a second coupling mechanism disposed at a position nearer the center of the second panel than a position of the speaker unit in the plane of the second panel and configured to couple the second panel and the third panel in the plane at a position not overlapping with the speaker unit.

A vehicle audio system includes a loudspeaker configured to be acoustically coupled to an interior of a vehicle and to be ducted to an exterior of the vehicle as well as a controller coupled to the loudspeaker. The controller is configured to (i) detect one or more vehicle operating parameters of the vehicle that would result in a pressure differential condition between the interior and the exterior, and (ii) adjust a gain of an audio signal provided to the loudspeaker in response to detecting the vehicle operating parameters

The main purpose of the disclosed invention is to provide users with a multi-functional baby car seat. This product has an internal speaker system that allows parents to soothe and entertain their child. The invention includes a thermal backrest and seat with heating and cooling controls that are designed to keep the child held by the seat at a comfortable temperature at all times. A retractable sun-reflecting shield is also part of this invention, and can protect the child from unwanted sun exposure. Every function of this car seat is controlled by a smartphone application. To guarantee the safety of the child held therein, this product sends essential alerts to the linked cellular device to help prevent critical situations such as when a child unbuckles the clip or if the infant is put at risk of vehicular heatstroke because of ambient temperature changes.

A vehicle interior panel includes a decorative fabric layer adhered to a concave side of a perforated substrate. Attachment of the fabric layer is via an adhesive layer initially provided in the form of a film. The film is laminated to the fabric layer, which is then adhered to the substrate via the film. Perforations can be formed through the film prior to lamination. The panel is suitable for use over an audio speaker or other device.

An audio system for a vehicle may include: an audio signal processing system arranged to process a plurality of audio channels and generate a principal signal and an accommodating signal for each of the plurality of audio channels; an array of loudspeakers including at least two pairs of loudspeakers, each of the at least two pairs of loudspeakers including a front loudspeaker and a rear loudspeaker; wherein the loudspeakers of the array are positioned such that a first line connecting acoustic centers of a front loudspeaker and a rear loudspeaker of a first pair of loudspeakers is angularly displaced relative to a second line connecting acoustic centers of a front loudspeaker and a rear loudspeaker of a second pair of loudspeakers; and wherein the audio signal processing system is arranged to provide a principal signal of a first audio channel among the plurality of audio channels to the front loudspeaker of the first pair of loudspeakers, provide an accommodating signal of the first audio channel to the rear loudspeaker of the first pair of loudspeakers, provide a principal signal of a second audio channel among the plurality of audio channels to the front loudspeaker of the second pair of loudspeakers, and provide an accommodating signal of the second audio channel to the rear loudspeaker of the second pair of loudspeakers, to generate a directional radiation pattern from the array of loudspeakers, wherein the directional radiation pattern includes a forward component and a rearward component associated with the first pair of loudspeakers and a forward component and a rearward component associated with the second pair of loudspeakers, and wherein the forward component associated with the first pair of loudspeakers and the forward component associated with the second pair of loudspeakers are directed toward at least one reflecting surface of the vehicle.

A vibration apparatus, an apparatus including the same, and a vehicular apparatus including the new vibration apparatus are provided having a simplified structure. The vibration apparatus includes a vibration portion, a first electrode portion at a first surface of the vibration portion and configured with a conductive adhesive member, and a second electrode portion at a second surface different from the first surface of the vibration portion.

Speakers for vehicles which can output sound with identical characteristic regardless of shape and dimension of entire components of interiors and exteriors of the speakers and which can be manufactured by small number of components and processes are provided. A speaker for vehicles of the present disclosure includes a vibration component having a plate shape. A vibration surface is formed on a part of the vibration component. A non-vibration surface is formed on a part of the vibration component. A dividing portion divides the vibration surface and the non-vibration surface. A voice coil is fixed on the vibration surface. A holding component is fixed on the non-vibration surface. A magnetic circuit is fixed on the holding component and corresponds to the voice coil.

An auto-orienting loudspeaker assembly for a vehicle seat includes a housing arranged to be received within a rear side of the vehicle seat, an enclosure rotatably mounted to the housing, the enclosure having a nonuniform weight distribution, and a loudspeaker disposed within the enclosure and having an initial orientation. A change in an angular position of the vehicle seat results in a passive rotation of the enclosure with respect to the housing to substantially maintain the initial orientation of the loudspeaker as the angular position of the vehicle seat changes.

A vehicle audio system includes a loudspeaker configured to be acoustically coupled to an interior of a vehicle and to be ducted to an exterior of the vehicle as well as a controller coupled to the loudspeaker. The controller is configured to (i) detect one or more vehicle operating parameters of the vehicle that would result in a pressure differential condition between the interior and the exterior, and (ii) adjust an audio signal provided to the loudspeaker in response to detecting the vehicle operating parameters.

A vehicle seat with a speaker-equipped headrest is provided, which is of a relatively simple structure to enable the speaker-equipped headrest to be easily mounted to/dismounted from a seat body after vehicle installation, and also provide increased versatility for installation in vehicles of various vehicle size classes. The vehicle seat with the speaker-equipped headrest includes: a male coupler that is connected to a speaker harness and fitted to a distal end of a headrest stay; and a female coupler that is connected to a main harness on a seat body side, and fitted to a headrest guide bracket supporting a headrest guide. Insertion of the headrest stay into the headrest guide allows the speaker-equipped headrest to be mounted to the seat body, and allows the male coupler and the female coupler to be fitted together to provide a connection between the speaker harness and the main harness.
