Additional Notes

  • The overhead position in the 2016 Chevrolet Express is fitted with a 4x6 inch speaker, which is only compatible with full-range drivers. This suggests the overhead location may have a relatively limited role in the overall sound staging, as it lacks midbass support.
  • The front door panel position uses a 6.75 inch speaker, which is notably one of the less common sizes in aftermarket offerings. It supports both midbass and full-range types, which could allow for more flexible speaker selection compared to the other positions in the vehicle.
  • The rear cargo area doors accommodate 6x9 inch speakers, a size that is generally associated with broader frequency handling. However, the compatible type is listed as full-range only, which may suggest midbass-specific drivers are not considered a priority for that location.
  • Given that the front door panel position supports midbass drivers, it could be considered the higher priority location for sound quality improvement, as midbass capability tends to contribute more noticeably to midrange clarity and lower frequency presence than a full-range-only position.
