Chrysler 300 Rear Deck Center Speaker Size
The Chrysler 300 rear deck center location accommodates an 8 inch speaker size. A subwoofer is the compatible audio replacement type for the system. These specifications apply to the 2011 model year.

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 2011 Chrysler 300 accommodates an 8-inch driver, a diameter associated with extended low-frequency reproduction and greater cone surface area than smaller mid-range alternatives.
- An 8-inch speaker mounted in the rear deck center occupies a surface-flush or recessed position within the horizontal shelf between the rear seat and the back window, a location that naturally couples bass energy into the cabin through the trunk cavity behind it.
- The rear deck is a structurally rigid, flat panel, which supports the mechanical demands of a subwoofer driver whose cone excursion and enclosure loading requirements differ from those of full-range speakers.
- A subwoofer is a driver engineered specifically for low-frequency reproduction, typically operating below 200 Hz, and in a rear deck center position, the directional limitations of low frequencies at those wavelengths allow placement without significant stereo imaging penalties.
- The 2011 Chrysler 300 rear deck center subwoofer specification indicates the factory audio system routes low-frequency content to a single centrally located driver rather than distributing bass duties across multiple channels at that position.
- At 8 inches, the cone area is sufficient to move the air volume necessary for perceptible bass output within a sedan cabin, where the sealed or ported rear deck cavity behind the driver acts as a passive acoustic enclosure.
- The rear deck center location positions the subwoofer equidistant from both sides of the cabin width, which at low frequencies produces a largely non-localized bass field perceived as emanating from no specific point in the listening environment.
- A subwoofer driver at the rear deck center does not contribute to high-frequency or midrange reproduction, meaning the 2011 Chrysler 300 rear deck center channel is dedicated solely to bass-band content within the vehicle's audio system.
