Additional Notes
- The 1987 Cadillac Fleetwood contains two distinct speaker locations with different size specifications and mounting configurations.
- Front door panel speakers utilize a 5.25-inch mounting configuration that accommodates either midbass or full-range driver types.
- The rear deck lid positions accept 6x9-inch oval speakers designed for full-range audio reproduction.
- Full-range speaker types can handle broader frequency ranges compared to midbass drivers, which typically focus on mid and lower frequencies.
- The oval 6x9-inch format generally provides greater cone surface area than round 5.25-inch speakers, potentially contributing to increased low-frequency output.
- Replacing the rear deck lid speakers might produce more noticeable bass improvements due to the larger cone surface area available in the 6x9-inch format.
- Midbass drivers installed in the front door panels would emphasize midrange punch and vocal clarity rather than extending deep into subwoofer territory.
- The single DIN radio opening provides standard aftermarket head unit compatibility without requiring additional mounting adapters for size conversion.
- Upgrading to full-range speakers in the front door positions would eliminate the need for separate tweeters if high-frequency extension is desired.
- The different speaker sizes between front and rear positions suggest a factory audio design that distributed frequency responsibilities across multiple locations.
