Additional Notes

  • The front door panels in the 1987 Chrysler New Yorker accommodate 5.25 inch speakers that can be replaced with either midbass drivers or full-range units, offering flexibility in component selection based on whether a separate tweeter will be installed.
  • Dashboard positions utilize 3.5 inch full-range speakers, which typically handle mid and high frequencies but may have limited bass output due to their smaller cone area and reduced excursion capabilities.
  • The rear deck lid is configured for 6x9 inch full-range speakers, which generally provide enhanced bass response compared to smaller round drivers due to their larger surface area and elongated cone design.
  • Replacing the original speakers with aftermarket units of the same sizes could potentially improve clarity, frequency response, and power handling, though actual results would depend on the specific models selected.
  • The midbass compatibility designation for the front door panel location suggests this position may be suitable for a component speaker system configuration where dedicated tweeters handle higher frequencies.
  • The single DIN radio opening allows for installation of various aftermarket head units that could provide increased power output to drive upgraded speakers more effectively.
