Dodge Charger Rear Deck Center Speaker Size
The Dodge Charger rear deck center location accommodates an 8 inch speaker size. The compatible type available for that position is a subwoofer. These specifications cover the 2018 model year.
| Year | Type | Size (inch) |
|---|---|---|
| 2018 | Subwoofer | 8 |
Speaker Types
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Subwoofer | A large driver for the lowest bass notes, typically from about 20 Hz to 120 Hz. It is usually installed in a separate enclosure and works alongside the other speakers. |
Additional Notes
- The rear deck center position in the 2018 Dodge Charger accommodates an 8-inch driver.
- An 8-inch driver at the rear deck center occupies a mid-to-large mounting footprint, requiring sufficient cone depth clearance beneath the deck surface to avoid contact with underlying vehicle structure.
- The rear deck of the Dodge Charger is a horizontal surface positioned at the base of the rear windshield, placing any mounted driver in an upward-firing orientation toward the cabin ceiling and rear glass.
- An upward-firing 8-inch driver at the rear deck projects sound that reflects off the rear windshield before dispersing into the cabin, which influences the perceived directionality of low-frequency output.
- At 8 inches, a driver has a cone surface area large enough to move significant air volume, which is mechanically relevant for reproducing frequencies in the lower bass range typically between 20 Hz and 200 Hz.
- The subwoofer type is defined by its design function of reproducing low-frequency content, generally below 200 Hz, where wavelengths are long and directional perception by human hearing is limited.
- Because low frequencies are largely non-directional to human hearing, the rear deck center subwoofer placement in the 2018 Dodge Charger does not introduce significant localization issues relative to front-mounted audio sources.
- A subwoofer at the rear deck center position requires an enclosure or relies on the enclosed trunk cavity beneath the deck to function as an acoustic chamber that controls rear wave output and influences bass resonance.
- The 8-inch cone diameter on a subwoofer type driver demands a motor structure and magnet assembly of proportional size, which affects the total installed depth protruding below the rear deck mounting surface.
