Additional Notes

  • The 1987 Porsche 924 uses 4x6 inch full-range speakers in both front and rear door panel locations, which may limit upgrade options compared to the more common 6.5 inch or 6x9 inch sizes available in the aftermarket.
  • Full-range speakers in the door panels handle all frequency reproduction without separate tweeters or woofers, meaning replacement units would need to provide adequate high-frequency response on their own.
  • The 4x6 inch size typically offers less cone area than circular 5.25 inch speakers, which could affect bass output potential despite similar mounting footprints.
  • Component speaker systems with separate tweeters may not directly fit these locations without custom mounting solutions, as the factory configuration relies on integrated full-range designs.
  • Aftermarket 4x6 inch speakers often feature higher power handling and sensitivity ratings than factory units, potentially improving volume and clarity without amplification.
  • The single DIN radio opening allows for head unit upgrades that could provide improved source signal quality to the door panel speakers.
  • Both front and rear locations sharing the same speaker size simplifies replacement planning, as identical models can be installed in all four positions.
