Additional Notes
- The 1983 Plymouth Reliant dashboard locations accommodate 3.5-inch full-range speakers, which represent the smaller factory speaker positions in this configuration and may be considered for replacement based on desired sound distribution throughout the cabin.
- Full-range speakers are specified for both factory locations, indicating a two-way driver design that handles the entire audio frequency spectrum without requiring separate tweeters or woofers in the original setup.
- The rear deck lid positions accept 5x7-inch speakers, providing a larger cone area compared to the dashboard units and potentially contributing more low-frequency output when functioning properly.
- Aftermarket speaker options for the 3.5-inch positions often include coaxial designs that may integrate small tweeters into the assembly, which could enhance high-frequency response relative to original equipment.
- The single DIN radio specification suggests standard aftermarket head unit compatibility, which could allow integration of modern audio sources with replacement speakers that might handle increased power output.
- Speaker replacement in the rear deck locations tends to have more noticeable impact on overall cabin sound quality due to the larger cone surface area available in the 5x7-inch format.
- Both speaker positions use full-range types rather than component systems, which simplifies replacement planning since separate crossover networks or tweeter mounting are not required for maintaining the factory configuration approach.
