Additional Notes

  • The front door panel positions in the 1985 Dodge Charger accept 5.25 inch speakers, which can accommodate either midbass drivers or full-range units depending on system configuration preferences.
  • Rear deck lid locations utilize 6x9 inch oval openings that are designed for full-range speaker installations.
  • Midbass speakers typically focus on mid and lower frequency reproduction, while full-range speakers handle broader frequency spectrum coverage within their physical limitations.
  • The front locations may benefit from component speaker installations where separate tweeters handle higher frequencies while the 5.25 inch driver manages mid and bass response.
  • Rear deck speakers often receive priority for replacement in two-speaker factory systems, as these locations frequently serve as the primary sound source.
  • The 6x9 inch format generally provides greater cone area compared to smaller round speakers, potentially offering improved bass output and overall volume capability.
  • Full-range speakers intended for the rear deck typically include integrated tweeters or whizzer cones to extend high-frequency response.
  • Factory speaker mounting depths may vary, so aftermarket replacement speakers should be verified for clearance behind the door panel and deck lid surfaces.
  • The single DIN radio opening allows for direct installation of most aftermarket head units without requiring dash modifications or adapter kits.
