Chrysler 200 Rear Deck Center Speaker Size
The Chrysler 200 rear deck center location accommodates an 8 inch speaker size, consistent across all applicable model years. Compatible types for the audio system include subwoofer replacement units. These specifications cover a range of years from 2015 to 2017.
| Year | Type | Size (inch) |
|---|---|---|
| 2017 | Subwoofer | 8 |
| 2016 | Subwoofer | 8 |
| 2015 | Subwoofer | 8 |
Speaker Types
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Subwoofer | A large driver for the lowest bass notes, typically from about 20 Hz to 120 Hz. It is usually installed in a separate enclosure and works alongside the other speakers. |
Additional Notes
- The rear deck center position in the Chrysler 200 accommodates an 8-inch driver across the 2015, 2016, and 2017 model years.
- An 8-inch speaker occupies a mid-to-large diameter mounting cutout, requiring sufficient cone depth clearance beneath the rear deck surface to avoid contact with underlying structure.
- The rear deck is a horizontal surface positioned at the base of the rear windshield, placing the driver in an upward-facing orientation that radiates sound toward the cabin ceiling and rear glass.
- An 8-inch cone driver requires a mounting ring or baffle capable of supporting greater mass and excursion forces compared to smaller diameter speakers, due to the larger moving assembly involved.
- The Chrysler 200 rear deck center location is specified exclusively for subwoofer use, meaning the mounting cavity and surrounding deck structure are associated with low-frequency reproduction rather than full-range or high-frequency output.
- A subwoofer is a driver engineered to reproduce frequencies in the low bass range, generally from approximately 20 Hz to 200 Hz, using a long-excursion cone and a high-compliance suspension to move significant air volume.
- The 8-inch cone diameter in the Chrysler 200 rear deck center position allows for a larger radiating surface area than smaller subwoofer sizes, which contributes to greater air displacement at low frequencies within the given mounting space.
- Because a subwoofer operates in the low-frequency range where sound waves are largely omnidirectional, the upward-facing rear deck position does not impose significant directional constraints on bass performance at the intended frequency range.
- Subwoofers require a sealed or acoustically isolated mounting environment to perform correctly; the rear deck cavity in the Chrysler 200 functions as the enclosure boundary that influences the driver's effective bass extension and output characteristics.
- The voice coil and magnet assembly of an 8-inch subwoofer are typically deeper than those of smaller drivers, making the available vertical clearance beneath the rear deck a critical dimensional factor in the Chrysler 200 rear deck center installation.
