Additional Notes

  • The factory dashboard speakers in the 1986 Plymouth Gran Fury may benefit from replacement given their limited 3.5 inch size, which typically constrains sound output potential compared to larger driver configurations.
  • Full-range speakers are specified for both dashboard and rear deck positions, indicating a relatively straightforward replacement process without the need for separate component systems or crossovers.
  • The rear deck lid accepts 6x9 inch speakers, which could provide substantial bass response improvements over the smaller dashboard units due to the increased cone area and excursion capability.
  • Upgrading the rear 6x9 speakers would likely produce the most noticeable sound quality enhancement, as these larger drivers can reproduce lower frequencies more effectively than the compact dashboard units.
  • The single DIN radio specification suggests compatibility with aftermarket head units, which could work in conjunction with upgraded speakers to modernize the audio system's overall performance.
  • The contrasting speaker sizes between front and rear locations may create an unbalanced soundstage, with rear deck speakers potentially overpowering the smaller dashboard units when replaced with higher-powered aftermarket options.
