Additional Notes

  • The dashboard speakers in the 1989 Toyota Cressida are designated as midrange drivers, suggesting they may handle primarily vocal frequencies and mid-tones rather than full-spectrum audio reproduction.
  • Factory rear door panel speakers measure 5x7 inches and accept full-range replacements, which could potentially provide broader frequency response than the dashboard midrange units.
  • The 4-inch dashboard speaker size might limit bass extension due to the smaller cone area, though this appears consistent with their midrange classification.
  • Replacing the rear door speakers could offer more noticeable sound quality improvements since they function as full-range drivers and typically handle more of the audible frequency spectrum.
  • The single DIN radio configuration in the 1989 Toyota Cressida leaves standard installation depth for aftermarket head units without requiring dash modifications.
  • Aftermarket 5x7-inch speakers often come with mounting brackets to accommodate 6x8-inch openings as well, which may provide additional replacement options for the rear positions.
  • The midrange designation for dashboard speakers suggests a factory audio system that likely distributed frequencies across multiple speaker locations rather than relying on single full-range drivers per position.
  • Speaker replacement priority might favor the rear door positions first, given their full-range capability and larger size compared to the dashboard midrange units.
