Additional Notes

  • The rear deck lid positions in the 1984 Chevrolet Impala take a 6x9 inch full-range speaker, which is a notably larger size than the 4x6 inch dashboard placement, suggesting the rear location may offer greater potential for low-frequency response and overall output.
  • Both speaker positions are listed as compatible with full-range driver types only, meaning each location relies on a single driver to reproduce the full audible spectrum rather than a dedicated multi-driver component system.
  • The dashboard position, at 4x6 inches, is the smaller of the two placements, which could indicate a more limited cone area and a reduced capacity for moving air compared to the rear deck lid location.
  • Given the size differential between the two positions, the rear deck lid speakers would likely carry more acoustic weight in the overall sound presentation, possibly making that location a higher priority when considering driver replacement or upgrade.
  • Full-range drivers at both locations suggest the factory configuration was designed without a dedicated crossover network, meaning any aftermarket replacement would still need to function across the full frequency range to maintain compatibility with the listed specifications.
