Abstract
In at least one embodiment, a loudspeaker assembly for a vehicle is provided. The assembly includes a diaphragm; a loudspeaker, and a carrier. The loudspeaker includes a first end for being positioned in a first area of the vehicle that is exposed to external ambient noise to the vehicle and a second end for being positioned in a second area of the vehicle that is exposed directly within an interior cabin of the vehicle to provide desired audio along a first axis to the interior cabin. The carrier is attached to the second end of the loudspeaker and includes noise absorption material to prevent the external ambient noise from entering into the vehicle. The carrier defines a plurality of openings positioned on an outer perimeter thereof to enable the desired audio to enter into the interior cabin along a second axis that is different than the first axis.
