Chrysler LHS Speaker FAQ

Which Chrysler LHS speakers should I replace first for the biggest sound improvement?

Start with the front door panel speakers. The 6.5 inch coaxial or component speakers in the 1999-2001 Chrysler LHS carry most of your midrange and vocal frequencies. These handle roughly 20-50 watts RMS and sit at 4 ohms impedance typically. The 5.25 inch front speakers in earlier models do similar work but with less surface area. Front speakers matter more than rear because... well, you're facing forward. Replace these before touching the 6x9 rear deck speakers or dashboard units.

Can I install component speakers in my Chrysler LHS front doors?

Both generations accept component speakers in the front door panels. The mounting depth might be around 2.5-3 inches depending on your door panel design. You'll need to run tweeter wires separately though - the factory harness probably feeds full-range signals. Component speakers separate the tweeter from the woofer, giving you better imaging. The crossover network handles frequency division around 3000-4000 Hz typically. Just verify your amplifier can handle the power requirements, usually 25-75 watts RMS per channel.

What's the difference between the 6x9 and 5.25 inch rear speakers in the Chrysler LHS?

The 6x9 speakers in the rear deck lid move more air - larger cone surface area means better bass response down to maybe 45-60 Hz. These triaxial or full-range speakers try to handle everything from bass to treble in one unit. The 5.25 inch rear speakers from 1999 focus more on midrange clarity but sacrifice some low-end punch. Both mount in the rear deck lid area, but the 6x9 configuration probably delivers more overall volume. The impedance stays around 4 ohms for both sizes, so your factory amplifier should drive either adequately.

Are the 3.5 inch dashboard speakers in my Chrysler LHS worth upgrading?

The 3.5 inch dashboard speakers handle mostly upper midrange and treble frequencies - think cymbals and vocal clarity. They're coaxial full-range units but limited by size physics. You might see improvement in dialogue clarity and stereo imaging, but don't expect bass impact. These speakers typically handle 10-25 watts RMS and work best when paired with upgraded front door speakers. The dashboard location helps with soundstage width. Replace them after your front doors if budget allows, but they're not critical for dramatic sound improvement in your Chrysler LHS.
