Additional Notes

  • The behind-seat position in the 1996 Dodge Ram 3500 may be worth addressing first, as the 5.25-inch midbass or full-range driver in that location tends to carry much of the low-to-mid frequency reproduction responsibility in single-cab configurations where door space is limited.
  • The front door panel appears to support a two-element arrangement, with a 1-inch tweeter and a 6x9-inch full-range driver occupying separate mounting positions, which could suggest a degree of factory frequency division between the two locations.
  • A 6x9-inch full-range driver, by nature of its larger cone surface area, would likely move more air than the 5.25-inch unit, potentially contributing to stronger mid-bass output from the front stage.
  • The 1-inch tweeter position in the front door panel could allow for improved high-frequency imaging if a replacement unit with a wider dispersion pattern is considered.
  • The 5.25-inch behind-seat position, when loaded with a midbass-type driver rather than a full-range unit, might narrow its output to the lower midrange, which could complement rather than overlap with the full-range coverage already present in the front door panel.
