Additional Notes
- The 1987 Peugeot 505 features 5.25-inch openings in both front kick panel and rear deck lid locations, suggesting a factory design focused on uniform speaker sizing throughout the cabin.
- Midbass drivers would be appropriate for the front kick panel positions, where lower frequency reproduction typically benefits from the solid mounting surfaces and acoustic coupling available in footwell areas.
- Rear deck lid locations accommodate either midbass or full-range speakers, offering flexibility depending on whether the system relies on front speakers for high-frequency content or requires rear fill with complete frequency response.
- The single DIN radio opening indicates compatibility with aftermarket head units that could provide improved power output and signal processing compared to the original equipment.
- Kick panel placement often provides better stereo imaging for front passengers compared to door-mounted speakers, though installation access may require removal of trim panels.
- Replacing the rear deck speakers with full-range units could enhance audio coverage for rear passengers, while midbass-only speakers would complement a front-biased system configuration.
- The 5.25-inch format typically offers a balance between low-frequency extension and power handling in compact automotive applications, making efficient use of limited mounting depth.
- Aftermarket speakers in these locations would likely benefit from acoustic dampening material applied to surrounding panels to reduce vibration and improve clarity.
