Dodge Attitude Speaker FAQ

What speakers should I replace first in my Dodge Attitude to get the biggest sound improvement?

Start with the front door panel speakers. The Dodge Attitude runs 6.5 inch midbass/full-range drivers in the front doors, and these tend to handle the widest frequency range of any position in the vehicle. Replacing them first likely gives you the most noticeable return on investment. The stock units are typically rated around 20-40 watts RMS, which tends to be a limiting factor. A quality aftermarket 6.5 inch driver rated at 75-100 watts RMS at 4 ohms can reveal details the factory speakers were simply not reproducing. The rear door panel also takes 6.5 inch drivers, but the front stage should come first.

Can I replace the 1 inch A-pillar tweeters in my Dodge Attitude with any aftermarket tweeter?

Not exactly. The A-pillar tweeter position in the Dodge Attitude uses a 1 inch driver, and most aftermarket silk dome or titanium dome tweeters in that size should physically fit. However, crossover points matter quite a bit here. You probably want a tweeter that handles frequencies starting around 3,000-5,000 Hz and extends cleanly to at least 20,000 Hz. Impedance matching is worth checking too. The factory system is likely running 4 ohm loads, so stick with 4 ohm replacements unless you are running an external amplifier with adjustable gain. Some installers skip tweeter replacement entirely and focus on the 6.5 inch positions first.

My Dodge Attitude has a 3.5 inch center dash midrange speaker. What does that position actually do for sound?

The 3.5 inch center dash midrange in the Dodge Attitude is meant to anchor vocal frequencies closer to eye level, which can improve the perceived soundstage. This position typically handles the 200-5,000 Hz range depending on how the factory head unit crosses things over. It is worth noting that not all Dodge Attitude configurations include this speaker. The center dash midrange appears in certain builds and replacing it with a quality 3.5 inch driver rated around 30-60 watts RMS at 4 ohms could tighten up dialogue clarity. The effect is sometimes subtle. Some listeners notice it immediately and others do not.

Should I run the Dodge Attitude rear door 6.5 inch speakers as full-range or strictly midbass?

Running the rear 6.5 inch speakers in the Dodge Attitude as pure midbass tends to produce a cleaner overall sound if you are pairing them with a subwoofer. High-passing them around 80-100 Hz at a 12 dB per octave slope removes low-frequency strain and can reduce distortion at moderate to high volumes. If you have no subwoofer, leaving them full-range is probably more practical. Either way, the rear doors should generally be kept at a lower output level than the front stage. Overpowering the rear fill is a fairly common mistake that collapses the soundstage forward.
