The Chrysler E Class rear deck lid accommodates a 5x7 inch speaker size compatible with 5x7 inch units. Full-range replacement types are compatible with the audio system. These specifications cover the 1983 to 1984 model years.
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 rear deck lid is a horizontal surface positioned at the top of the trunk cavity, behind the rear passenger seating area.
Speakers mounted in the Chrysler E Class rear deck lid face upward toward the headliner and rear glass, directing sound forward into the cabin through reflected and diffused propagation.
The 5x7 inch oval format is a non-circular driver geometry that provides a larger cone surface area than a standard 5 inch round speaker while fitting within the constrained depth and width of a rear deck lid cavity.
The elongated oval shape of the 5x7 inch driver allows a relatively low-profile mounting depth, which is relevant in rear deck locations where vertical clearance above the trunk space is limited.
The 5x7 inch size in a rear deck lid position covers a broad frequency range, with the larger cone contributing to lower midrange and upper bass reproduction compared to smaller oval formats in the same location.
Full-range drivers are single-unit transducers designed to reproduce the audible frequency spectrum without a passive crossover network, handling low midrange through high-frequency content within one cone and dust cap assembly.
In a rear deck lid installation, a full-range driver operates without supplemental tweeters or woofers in the same position, meaning the single driver carries the entire spectral load for that channel at that location.
The Chrysler E Class rear deck lid with the 5x7 inch full-range configuration is compatible across both the 1983 and 1984 model years, indicating a consistent mounting cutout dimension and depth clearance across both years.
Rear deck lid locations are acoustically coupled to the trunk volume below, which can introduce resonance effects that interact with the low-frequency output of full-range drivers mounted in that position.
