I did also look down the holes but couldn't find any sound thing in there at all.... What a weird thing for them to leave out
Do you know your trim level? Manufacturer often offer different sounds systems and the lower ones are missing some speakers. And since producing a separate panel without the holes would be way more expensive, they're using fake covers for a fraction of the cost.
And there is Logitech level BS where they spend extra money to fake tweeters... (Logitech Z333)
Yep, it's a trim level thing.
I worked in an import dealer for a while back then, lots of upgrades installed by the mechanics, saw how sub harnesses and components to complete an upgrade came as a package. Those guys were fast, knew the shortcuts to get things installed without taking half the car apart.
Hah! You underestimate the genius of the engineers.
The radio is pumped into the frame spaces; by careful engineering and the use of baffles and angles, by the time the sound comes out of the holes, it's perfectly within in the 2kHz - 20kHz range.
Only amateur car builders would hook up actual speakers to produce this audio.
