You will find that the Audio forum is better for this information ... but behind the top grille in each door are TWO speakers; that is why your grille count only gives you "6".

Sound Quality

What can I except from the Harmon Kardon Mini sound system in the way of sound quality.

HK sound CLARITY is excellent - I hear sounds on music in the MINI which I have never noticed before, but which are present on my home system if I go back and listen carefully ...

The main complaints with HK are:
1 - front sound stage; only bass from the rear speakers (although some HK modes minimize this)
2 - insufficient maximum volume (seems dependant on listener, or perhaps on source volume)
