Additional Notes
- The factory speakers in the 1987 Mercury Sable dashboard might benefit from replacement with component tweeters rather than full-range drivers, given the limited 3.5 inch space typically constrains low-frequency output capabilities.
- Front door panels offer midbass or full-range compatibility at 5.25 inches, suggesting this location could serve as the primary sound stage for aftermarket component speaker systems where midrange clarity tends to be prioritized.
- The 6x8 inch rear deck speakers provide the largest cone area in the factory configuration, which generally translates to increased bass response compared to the smaller round speakers installed elsewhere.
- Oval 6x8 inch speakers may present fewer direct replacement options in the aftermarket compared to standard round sizes, though adapter brackets can sometimes accommodate 6.5 inch round speakers in these locations.
- Component speaker systems would likely utilize the front door locations for woofers and the dashboard positions for tweeters, potentially leaving the rear deck speakers as fill or eliminating them to focus sound forward.
- The single DIN radio opening allows for straightforward head unit upgrades without requiring dash modifications, which could provide improved power output to drive aftermarket speakers more effectively than the original equipment.
- Full-range speakers in all three locations suggests the factory audio system relied on each speaker to reproduce the entire frequency spectrum independently, rather than using dedicated tweeters and woofers in a component arrangement.
