Additional Notes
- The 1987 Ford Aerostar dashboard accepts 3.5 inch full-range speakers, which could serve as the primary sound source if no larger speakers are present in the front doors.
- Full-range speakers in both dashboard and rear door panel positions suggest the factory audio configuration may have relied on these drivers to reproduce the complete frequency spectrum without separate tweeters or woofers.
- The rear door panels accommodate both 3.5 inch midrange speakers and 6x9 inch full-range speakers, indicating a dual-location setup where the larger oval speakers likely handle broader frequency reproduction.
- Upgrading the 6x9 inch positions in the rear door panels would probably yield the most noticeable sound quality improvement due to the larger cone area and potential for better bass response compared to the 3.5 inch openings.
- The 3.5 inch midrange designation for the rear door panel suggests these speakers might have been designed to work in conjunction with the 6x9 inch units rather than as standalone full-range drivers.
- The single DIN radio opening provides compatibility with a wide range of aftermarket head units, which could complement speaker upgrades with improved power output and signal processing.
- The absence of specified front door speaker locations in the specifications implies the dashboard 3.5 inch speakers may have been the sole front audio source in the factory configuration.
- Multiple speaker sizes in the rear door panels could allow for different upgrade strategies, such as focusing on the 6x9 inch positions for enhanced output or replacing both sizes for a more balanced rear soundstage.
