- The dashboard position in the 1985 Dodge D/W Series Pickups accommodates a 4-inch driver, which is relatively compact and may limit the range of compatible replacement options on the market.
- A 4-inch midrange speaker is designed to handle mid-frequency reproduction, meaning it may not extend into the lower bass frequencies without support from an additional subwoofer or larger driver elsewhere in the system.
- The rear position accepts a 6.5-inch driver, which is a more widely available size and could suggest a broader selection of aftermarket replacements compared to the smaller dashboard location.
- The rear location supports either a midbass or full-range type, giving it a degree of flexibility in terms of driver selection that the dashboard position does not share.
- A full-range driver at the rear could handle a wider portion of the audible frequency spectrum on its own, while a midbass-only driver there would likely benefit from a separate tweeter to cover higher frequencies.
- Given the size difference between the two positions, the rear 6.5-inch location may be considered the higher-priority replacement point, as it tends to carry more of the overall sound output potential than the smaller 4-inch dashboard unit.
- The combination of a midrange-only dashboard driver and a midbass or full-range rear driver suggests the factory audio layout may have involved a somewhat divided frequency approach across the two positions.
