Additional Notes

  • The front door panels in the 1986 Acura Legend accept 5.25 inch speakers, which can accommodate either midbass or full-range driver configurations depending on the audio system goals.
  • Rear deck lid positions feature 6.5 inch openings, offering slightly larger cone area than the front locations for potentially enhanced bass response when using midbass drivers.
  • Full-range speakers represent a simpler replacement approach, as these single-driver units reproduce the entire frequency spectrum without requiring separate tweeters or crossovers.
  • Midbass speakers focus on lower midrange and bass frequencies, typically requiring separate high-frequency drivers to complete the sound spectrum.
  • The 1986 Acura Legend provides both single DIN and double DIN radio compatibility, allowing flexibility in head unit selection during audio system upgrades.
  • Upgrading the rear deck speakers first may provide noticeable improvement in overall system output due to the larger cone area compared to the front positions.
  • Component speaker systems utilizing the midbass option would position tweeters separately, often in sail panels or A-pillars for improved soundstage imaging.
  • The size differential between front and rear locations suggests factory audio design prioritized rear fill and bass reinforcement from the deck lid position.
