Additional Notes

  • The 2016 Dodge Journey utilizes three distinct speaker locations throughout the cabin, with dashboard units measuring 3.5 inches and both front and rear door panels accommodating 6x9 inch speakers.
  • All factory speaker positions accept full-range speakers, which handle the entire audio spectrum without requiring separate tweeters or subwoofers for their respective frequency ranges.
  • The door panel speakers represent the primary sound stage locations, as the larger 6x9 inch size typically provides greater bass response and overall output compared to smaller dashboard units.
  • Upgrading the door panel speakers would likely yield more noticeable sound quality improvements than replacing dashboard speakers, given the size difference and corresponding frequency reproduction capabilities.
  • The 6x9 inch format is somewhat less common than round speakers, which may influence aftermarket selection, though this size generally offers advantages in power handling and low-frequency extension.
  • The radio opening supports both single DIN and double DIN head units, potentially allowing for receiver upgrades that could enhance signal processing and amplification for any replacement speakers.
  • The dashboard speaker size suggests these units likely handle mid-range and higher frequencies, supplementing the fuller frequency range produced by the larger door panel speakers.
  • Full-range compatibility indicates that the factory speaker locations do not require component speaker systems with separate crossovers, simplifying the replacement process for aftermarket installations.
