Chrysler LeBaron Rear Door Panel Speaker Size
The Chrysler LeBaron rear door panel accommodates a 5.25 inch speaker size across all listed model years. Compatible types for the audio system include midbass and full-range units. These specifications cover the replacement chart from 1984 to 1995.
| Year | Type | Size (inch) |
|---|---|---|
| 1995 | Midbass / Full-Range | 5.25 |
| 1994 | Midbass / Full-Range | 5.25 |
| 1993 | Midbass / Full-Range | 5.25 |
| 1992 | Midbass / Full-Range | 5.25 |
| 1991 | Midbass / Full-Range | 5.25 |
| 1990 | Midbass / Full-Range | 5.25 |
| 1989 | Midbass / Full-Range | 5.25 |
| 1988 | Midbass / Full-Range | 5.25 |
| 1987 | Midbass / Full-Range | 5.25 |
| 1986 | Midbass / Full-Range | 5.25 |
| 1985 | Midbass / Full-Range | 5.25 |
| 1984 | Midbass / Full-Range | 5.25 |
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 rear door panel is a vertical, surface-mounted location typically recessed into the interior trim, with the speaker firing inward toward the cabin rather than upward or downward.
- Door panel installations place the speaker within a shallow cavity bounded by the outer door shell and the interior trim panel, which limits available depth and affects the cone excursion range a speaker can practically use.
- The 5.25 inch diameter specifies the mounting cutout and cone area, a size that fits within the spatial constraints of the Chrysler LeBaron rear door panel across all listed model years.
- A 5.25 inch driver in a door panel location operates within a partially sealed, partially coupled acoustic environment, as door cavities are not fully airtight and interact with the low-frequency response of the driver.
- At 5.25 inches, the cone surface area is sufficient to move enough air for meaningful midbass output, roughly covering the 80 Hz to 500 Hz range where punch and body in music are most audible.
- The midbass type is a dedicated driver optimized for the lower-midrange and upper-bass frequencies, and in a rear door location, the Chrysler LeBaron midbass placement contributes low-frequency support that supplements a separate tweeter or front-stage system.
- A full-range driver is designed to reproduce a wide frequency band from bass through treble within a single unit, making the 5.25 inch full-range speaker in the rear door panel capable of operating without a dedicated crossover or tweeter companion.
- The rear door panel position places the speaker at roughly seat-height level for rear passengers, which affects the directional character of sound dispersion toward the rear seating area.
- A 5.25 inch driver has a relatively modest low-frequency extension in an open-back door mounting, as the lack of a sealed enclosure reduces bass reinforcement compared to a dedicated enclosure installation.
- The compatibility with both midbass and full-range types at the same cutout size indicates the mounting geometry accommodates either driver configuration without structural modification to the panel.
