Additional Notes

  • The 2017 Dodge Challenger factory audio system incorporates seven distinct speaker locations with varying sizes ranging from 3.5 inches to 10 inches, suggesting a multi-driver configuration designed to distribute different frequency ranges across the cabin.
  • The rear deck lid contains three different speaker sizes (3.5 inch, 6.5 inch, and 8 inch) designated for full-range, midbass, and woofer duties respectively, indicating this location may be a focal point for audio upgrades due to the concentration of sound reproduction components.
  • Full-range speakers are specified for four locations (dashboard, rear deck lid positions, and front door panels), which could provide flexibility when selecting aftermarket replacements since these drivers handle broader frequency spectrums without requiring separate crossover considerations.
  • The front door panels accommodate 6x9 inch full-range speakers, an oval format that typically offers greater cone area than round equivalents of similar mounting depth, potentially contributing to enhanced midrange and lower frequency output from the front stage.
  • A dedicated 10 inch subwoofer position in the cargo area suggests the factory system may include provisions for low-frequency reinforcement, though aftermarket subwoofer upgrades in this location could provide substantial bass improvement over stock components.
  • The 3.5 inch midrange speakers in the rear side panels serve a specialized frequency role rather than full-range reproduction, indicating these positions focus on vocal and instrumental clarity rather than extended bass response.
  • Upgrading the front door 6x9 speakers and the cargo area subwoofer would likely yield the most noticeable sound quality improvements, as these locations handle the majority of the frequency spectrum from deep bass through midrange content.
