Additional Notes

  • The rear door panel locations in the 1988 GMC Vandura take 6x9 inch speakers, which is a notably larger size compared to the 4x6 inch dashboard positions. Larger speaker surfaces tend to move more air, so the rear positions may produce stronger low-frequency response than the front dashboard locations.
  • Both speaker positions are rated for full-range driver compatibility only, suggesting the factory locations were not designed with dedicated tweeter or subwoofer mounting provisions. A full-range driver handles the entire audible frequency spectrum within a single unit, which may limit the degree of frequency separation achievable at either location.
  • The dashboard positions, being the smaller 4x6 inch format, could be considered secondary in terms of potential sound output relative to the rear door panel positions. Replacement priority might reasonably lean toward the rear 6x9 inch locations, as those drivers would likely contribute more to overall cabin sound levels.
  • Since both locations are limited to full-range types, the system would not appear to support a traditional multi-way passive crossover configuration without additional modifications outside the factory mounting points.
