Abstract
A speaker disposition structure comprises a hinge pillar extending in a vehicle up-down direction; a side sill extending in a vehicle front-rear direction; a speaker box fixed to the hinge pillar; and a gap portion for arranging a vehicle component at an upper part of a vehicle-interior side of the side sill. The speaker box includes an abutting part abutting the hinge pillar; an upper space portion that bulges inward in a vehicle width direction from the abutting part above the gap portion and that holds a speaker; and an extended space portion that extends downward from the upper space portion and is adjacent to a vehicle-width-direction inner side of the gap portion. A dimension in a cross section orthogonal to the vehicle front-rear direction is smaller in a lower portion of the extended space portion than in an upper portion of the extended space portion.
