The Chrysler LHS dashboard accommodates a 3.5 inch speaker size across all applicable model years. Full-range units represent the compatible audio system replacement types for the location. These specifications cover the 1994 to 1997 chart of 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 dashboard location in the Chrysler LHS positions speakers at the forward edge of the cabin interior, typically flush-mounted into the instrument panel surface, directing sound upward or toward the windshield to reflect audio into the listening area.
Dashboard speaker cavities are generally shallow and constrained by the instrument panel's internal structure, limiting the depth and diameter of compatible drivers.
A 3.5-inch driver, relative to larger cone sizes, reproduces a frequency range weighted toward the upper midrange and high-midrange bands, with reduced low-frequency extension due to the smaller cone surface area.
The compact cone area of a 3.5-inch speaker in a dashboard position is consistent with the acoustic demands of a location distant from the vehicle's lower body panels, where bass reinforcement is minimal.
Full-range speakers are single-driver units designed to reproduce the audible frequency spectrum without requiring a separate crossover network or supplemental tweeters or woofers in the same channel.
In a dashboard mounting position, a full-range 3.5-inch driver handles both the upper midrange and whatever high-frequency content the cone and whizzer cone or dust cap geometry allows, without relying on additional components at the same location.
The Chrysler LHS dashboard accepts a 3.5-inch full-range speaker across the 1994, 1995, 1996, and 1997 model years, indicating a consistent instrument panel design across that production span.
Dashboard-mounted speakers in this vehicle position are generally oriented to produce a wide horizontal dispersion pattern, which, combined with the full-range driver type, allows treble and upper midrange frequencies to reach front occupants directly.
The 3.5-inch format at the dashboard level in the Chrysler LHS would primarily contribute to stereo imaging and upper-frequency presence rather than reinforcing low-frequency output, which typically requires larger drivers in door or rear deck positions.
