Chrysler Pacifica Rear Side Panel Speaker Size
The Chrysler Pacifica rear side panel accommodates a 3.5 inch speaker size. Midrange units represent the compatible audio type for the rear side panel system. These specifications apply to the 2017 model year.
| Year | Type | Size (inch) |
|---|---|---|
| 2017 | Midrange | 3.5 |
Speaker Types
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Midrange | A driver for the middle of the audible range, typically from about 300 Hz to 5,000 Hz, where vocals and most instruments sit. It is often paired with a tweeter and a woofer. |
Additional Notes
- The rear side panel location in the Chrysler Pacifica positions speakers within the interior cabin wall panels, integrating the driver units into a confined, enclosed mounting environment rather than an open baffle.
- Panel-mounted locations in rear side positions typically place speakers at a lateral angle relative to seated passengers, affecting the directional spread of sound toward the listening area.
- A 3.5-inch driver installed in a rear side panel occupies a compact footprint, which suits the spatial constraints common to side panel cavities where depth and diameter clearance are limited.
- The 3.5-inch diameter in a rear side panel context means the cone surface area is relatively small, which corresponds to a reduced capacity for moving large volumes of air and reproducing deep low-frequency content.
- The Chrysler Pacifica rear side panel accommodates a midrange speaker type at the 3.5-inch size, and midrange drivers are specifically designed to handle the frequency band roughly between 300 Hz and 5 kHz, covering vocals, instruments, and speech intelligibility.
- Midrange drivers, by design, are bandpass devices focused on neither the lowest bass frequencies nor the highest treble frequencies, operating in the region where human hearing is most sensitive.
- A 3.5-inch midrange unit in a rear side panel contributes localized mid-frequency reproduction to the rear passenger zone, supplementing front-stage and subwoofer components in a multi-speaker system.
- The rear side panel placement means the midrange driver radiates sound into the cabin from a lower side angle, which influences how mid-frequency content interacts with the reflective surfaces of the vehicle interior around rear-seat passengers.
- Because midrange drivers do not require the large enclosure volume that subwoofers demand, the compact rear side panel cavity can function as an adequate mounting space for a 3.5-inch midrange unit.
