Additional Notes

  • The 1958 Chevrolet Impala carries a 6x9 inch center dash position, which may suggest that the factory opening was designed to accommodate a moderately sized driver-facing speaker, potentially placing it as a reasonable priority for replacement given its central acoustic positioning.
  • Both speaker locations share the same 6x9 inch sizing, which could indicate that a single speaker model may be compatible across both positions, possibly simplifying the sourcing process for replacement units.
  • The center dash and rear deck lid positions are each listed as compatible with Full-Range speaker types only, which may suggest that these locations were not specified to support component speaker configurations such as separate woofers and tweeters.
  • A Full-Range driver in the rear deck lid position may tend to reproduce the full audio spectrum from a single cone, which could mean that high-frequency dispersion from that position would depend largely on the tweeter characteristics built into the Full-Range unit itself.
  • Given that both positions are rated for Full-Range compatibility, the overall sound reproduction would likely rely on each speaker handling low, mid, and high frequencies independently, which may affect how well the system separates audio detail across the frequency range.
