Chrysler LHS Front Door Panel Speaker Size
The Chrysler LHS front door panel accommodates a 6.5 inch speaker size and 5.25 inch speakers, with each location supporting one of the 2 unique sizes depending on the model year. Compatible audio types across all entries include midbass and full-range system units. These specifications cover the years 1994 to 2001, excluding 1998.
| Year | Type | Size (inch) |
|---|---|---|
| 2001 | Midbass / Full-Range | 6.5 |
| 2000 | Midbass / Full-Range | 6.5 |
| 1999 | Midbass / Full-Range | 6.5 |
| 1997 | Midbass / Full-Range | 5.25 |
| 1996 | Midbass / Full-Range | 5.25 |
| 1995 | Midbass / Full-Range | 5.25 |
| 1994 | 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 front door panel is a lateral mounting position within the vehicle cabin, placing speakers at roughly seat-level height along the lower side of the passenger compartment.
- Door panel installations orient speakers so the cone faces inward toward the cabin, with the mounting depth and cutout diameter constrained by the door's internal cavity and sheet metal structure.
- Two distinct speaker sizes appear across the Chrysler LHS front door panel specifications: 6.5 inch and 5.25 inch.
- A 6.5 inch driver occupies a larger mounting cutout and moves more air than a 5.25 inch unit, which corresponds to greater low-frequency output capability from the front door location.
- The 5.25 inch size requires a smaller mounting diameter and shallower depth clearance, making physical fitment more dependent on the tighter door cavity dimensions present in the 1994 through 1997 model years.
- A midbass driver is designed to reproduce the mid-to-low frequency range, roughly 80 Hz to 500 Hz, reinforcing bass presence and lower vocal fundamentals from the front door position.
- A full-range driver covers a wider frequency span than a dedicated midbass, typically from around 60 Hz up to several kilohertz, handling both low-mid and upper-mid frequencies from a single cone at the door panel location.
- From the front door panel position, midbass drivers contribute directional low-frequency reinforcement toward the listening area due to the side-angled cone orientation relative to the occupants.
- Full-range drivers installed at the front door panel can reproduce midrange vocal and instrumental content in addition to bass fundamentals, reducing reliance on additional speaker locations for mid-frequency coverage.
- The Chrysler LHS front door panel accepts either compatible type across all listed model years, meaning the mounting location structurally accommodates both midbass-only and full-range configurations within the same cutout dimensions.
