- The rear deck lid location in the 1965 Chevrolet Malibu takes a 6x9 inch speaker, which is the larger of the two available positions, so it may be the more impactful location to address first when considering a replacement.
- The center dash position appears to be sized at 4x10 inch, which is a less common speaker size and could present some difficulty when sourcing a compatible replacement unit.
- Both locations are listed as compatible with full-range speaker types only, suggesting that component or coaxial multi-driver configurations with separate tweeters may not be the intended fit for either position.
- A full-range driver in the 6x9 inch rear deck position would likely handle a broader portion of the audio spectrum on its own, given the relatively larger cone surface area compared to the 4x10 inch center dash unit.
- Since neither location references a subwoofer or dedicated bass driver, low-frequency reproduction across the system may be somewhat limited by the full-range driver specifications alone.
