- The rear deck lid location in the 1980 Chevrolet Impala accommodates the larger 6x9 inch opening, which may suggest it could be a higher-priority replacement position compared to the dashboard, given that the greater cone area of a 6x9 inch driver tends to produce more low-frequency output and overall volume than the 4x6 inch dashboard position.
- Both locations are rated as compatible with full-range speaker types only, which indicates that each position handles the full audio frequency spectrum through a single driver rather than relying on dedicated woofer or tweeter components.
- A full-range driver in the dashboard's 4x6 inch opening would likely contribute primarily to midrange and high-frequency reproduction given its smaller cone surface, while the rear deck's 6x9 inch opening would tend to support a broader frequency response including lower midrange frequencies.
- Since neither location specifies compatibility with component systems or subwoofers, any sound improvement would seemingly be limited to what a full-range driver replacement could offer within the constraints of the factory-designated openings.
