Additional Notes

  • The 2018 Dodge Charger contains multiple speaker locations with varying sizes, suggesting a multi-stage replacement approach where larger drivers in door panels and rear deck positions would likely provide more substantial sound quality gains than smaller dashboard units.
  • Full-range speakers are compatible across five of the seven locations, indicating a factory audio design that distributes frequency response broadly rather than using dedicated component separates in most positions.
  • The front door panels accommodate 6x9 oval speakers as full-range drivers, which typically offer greater cone area and potentially better mid-bass response compared to the 3.5-inch units found in dashboard and center dash locations.
  • A dedicated 8-inch subwoofer location exists in the rear deck center position, suggesting the factory audio system may include a separate low-frequency driver or that this position is prepared for optional bass enhancement.
  • The rear deck lid contains both 6.5-inch and 6x9 speakers designated as full-range capable, which could contribute to rear fill in the soundstage when positioned alongside the center subwoofer location.
  • Dashboard and center dash positions use 3.5-inch full-range speakers, which would primarily handle upper midrange and treble frequencies given the physical limitations of smaller cone sizes for low-frequency reproduction.
  • Rear door panels specify 3.5-inch midrange speakers rather than full-range types, indicating these drivers may handle a more focused frequency band in the factory crossover configuration compared to other 3.5-inch locations.
  • The combination of 6.5-inch midbass or full-range capability in the rear deck suggests flexibility in system configuration, where these drivers could either supplement low frequencies or handle broader response depending on amplification and crossover settings.
