Chrysler 200 Front Door Panel Speaker Size
The Chrysler 200 front door panel accommodates a 6.75 inch speaker size and 6x9 inch speakers. Compatible types across these locations include midbass and full-range units. The specifications cover the 2011 to 2017 model range.
| Year | Type | Size (inch) |
|---|---|---|
| 2017 | Midbass / Full-Range | 6.75 |
| 2017 | Full-Range | 6x9 |
| 2016 | Midbass / Full-Range | 6.75 |
| 2016 | Full-Range | 6x9 |
| 2015 | Midbass / Full-Range | 6.75 |
| 2015 | Full-Range | 6x9 |
| 2014 | Full-Range | 6x9 |
| 2013 | Full-Range | 6x9 |
| 2012 | Full-Range | 6x9 |
| 2011 | Full-Range | 6x9 |
Speaker Types
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Midbass | A driver tuned for upper bass and lower midrange, roughly from 80 Hz to 500 Hz. It has longer cone travel than a full-range unit, which supports stronger bass in doors and panels. |
| Full-Range | A single driver that reproduces bass through treble without a separate crossover network. It is the simplest replacement option and is common in factory audio systems. |
Additional Notes
- The front door panel is a side-mounted location, meaning speakers fire laterally into the cabin rather than directly toward listeners, which influences how sound disperses across the seating area.
- Door panel cavities are acoustically bounded by the inner door skin and the panel itself, creating an enclosure-like environment that interacts with the low-frequency output of larger drivers.
- The 6x9 inch footprint is an oval format, and the elongated cone area increases radiating surface compared to a round driver of similar nominal diameter, supporting low-frequency reproduction in a shallow door cavity where cone excursion depth may be limited.
- The 6.75 inch size is a round driver format, and in a front door panel location, the near-circular cone geometry produces a more uniform dispersion pattern relative to oval alternatives, which is relevant given the off-axis listening angle typical of door-mounted positions.
- Full-range speakers cover the audible spectrum from low bass through high treble within a single driver, and in the front door panel of the Chrysler 200, a full-range unit would be responsible for the entire frequency contribution from that mounting point without requiring additional components.
- The midbass type is designed to handle low-to-mid frequencies, roughly from the upper bass region through the lower midrange, and is not intended to reproduce high frequencies; a front door panel midbass driver in the Chrysler 200 would therefore function within a multi-component audio system where a separate tweeter handles upper frequencies.
- The 6.75 inch size is listed with both midbass and full-range compatibility, indicating the mounting location can accommodate either a dedicated low-frequency role or a standalone full-spectrum role for that driver diameter.
- The 6x9 inch size across all listed model years carries only full-range compatibility, meaning the door cavity geometry for that oval footprint is paired exclusively with drivers intended to cover the complete frequency range.
- A midbass driver in a door panel location takes acoustic advantage of the door cavity as a natural low-frequency loading chamber, which can reinforce bass output from a driver that rolls off before reaching high frequencies.
- The front door panel location places speakers in close proximity to the lower body of occupants, making it acoustically effective for bass and midbass frequencies that are less sensitive to the directional anomalies caused by off-axis placement.
- Both the 6.75 inch and 6x9 inch sizes appear together in the 2015, 2016, and 2017 model years, indicating the front door panel opening in the Chrysler 200 for those years accommodates 2 distinct driver footprints.
