Additional Notes
- The dashboard location in the 1987 Mazda 626 accommodates 4 inch midrange speakers, which focus on reproducing vocal and instrumental frequencies rather than providing bass response.
- Replacing the rear deck lid speakers with aftermarket 5.25 inch units could enhance overall audio quality, as this location supports both midbass and full-range speaker configurations.
- The 4 inch midrange speakers in the dashboard may benefit most from replacement if clarity in the vocal range is lacking, though their smaller size inherently limits low-frequency output.
- Full-range 5.25 inch speakers installed in the rear deck lid position would handle a broader frequency spectrum compared to the dashboard midranges, potentially providing a more balanced sound stage.
- The 1987 Mazda 626 features a Single DIN radio opening, which maintains compatibility with a wide selection of aftermarket head units for potential system upgrades.
- Midbass speakers in the 5.25 inch rear deck lid location would emphasize lower midrange frequencies, complementing the dashboard midranges in a component-style configuration.
- The size difference between the 4 inch dashboard and 5.25 inch rear deck speakers suggests a factory-designed frequency distribution, with smaller drivers handling higher frequencies and larger drivers reproducing lower tones.
