Chrysler 300 Rear Door Panel Speaker Size
The Chrysler 300 rear door panel accommodates a 3.5 inch speaker size across all listed model years. Compatible types for the audio system include midrange units. These specifications cover the 2011 to 2017 model range.
| Year | Type | Size (inch) |
|---|---|---|
| 2017 | Midrange | 3.5 |
| 2016 | Midrange | 3.5 |
| 2015 | Midrange | 3.5 |
| 2014 | Midrange | 3.5 |
| 2013 | Midrange | 3.5 |
| 2012 | Midrange | 3.5 |
| 2011 | Midrange | 3.5 |
Speaker Types
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Midrange | A driver for the middle of the audible range, typically from about 300 Hz to 5,000 Hz, where vocals and most instruments sit. It is often paired with a tweeter and a woofer. |
Additional Notes
- The rear door panel location in the Chrysler 300 accommodates a 3.5 inch speaker diameter across the 2011 through 2017 model years.
- Door panel speaker cutouts are recessed within the interior door trim, meaning available depth and baffle space are constrained by the door's inner structure and window mechanism components.
- A 3.5 inch driver occupies a compact footprint, which suits the spatial limitations typical of rear door panel cavities where the usable mounting surface is reduced by door hardware and trim contours.
- The rear door panel position places speakers at a low-to-mid height relative to seated occupants, which affects the directional projection of sound toward the rear cabin zone.
- A 3.5 inch cone surface area produces less air displacement than larger drivers, making the size well-suited to frequencies in the midrange band rather than extended low-frequency reproduction.
- The Chrysler 300 rear door panel's compatible type is midrange, which corresponds to the frequency band roughly spanning 500 Hz to 5 kHz, covering the core range of vocals, instruments, and speech intelligibility.
- Midrange drivers are designed with cone and surround geometries optimized for controlled, accurate reproduction of mid-frequency content without the excursion demands associated with bass frequencies.
- At 3.5 inches, the driver diameter aligns with a midrange role because the cone mass and stiffness at that size support the transient response characteristics required for midrange accuracy rather than low-frequency extension.
- In a rear door panel mounting position, a midrange driver contributes to the ambient soundfield for rear passengers, supplementing the overall cabin audio distribution at frequencies where localization perception is most acute.
- Door panel cavities can introduce acoustic resonance, and the limited enclosure volume behind a door-mounted 3.5 inch midrange driver means the rear airspace of the cone is partially influenced by the door's internal cavity rather than a sealed or ported enclosure.
