Additional Notes

  • The 1987 Chrysler Fifth Avenue features factory openings in the front door panels designed to accommodate 5.25 inch speakers, which can accept either midbass drivers or full-range units depending on the desired audio configuration.
  • Rear deck lid locations provide 6x9 inch mounting points that are typically configured for full-range speakers, offering a larger surface area for sound reproduction compared to the front positions.
  • Replacing rear deck speakers might take priority for many owners seeking improved audio output, as the 6x9 inch format generally provides enhanced low-frequency response and overall sound pressure levels relative to smaller front units.
  • Full-range speakers installed in the rear deck positions would handle the entire frequency spectrum without requiring additional components, simplifying the replacement process while potentially delivering noticeable improvements over aged factory units.
  • The front door panel speakers could be upgraded with dedicated midbass drivers if paired with separate tweeters, or with full-range units for a simpler installation that maintains frequency coverage without additional components.
  • The single DIN radio opening allows for aftermarket head unit installation that may provide increased power output to drive upgraded speakers more effectively than the original equipment.
