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. |
| 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 rear deck lid is a horizontal surface positioned at the rear of the passenger cabin, behind the back seats, making speaker placement at that location rear-facing relative to the listening area inside the vehicle.
- A horizontal mounting orientation, as found on a rear deck lid, causes a speaker cone to fire upward toward the headliner or rear window rather than directly toward the front seats, which affects how sound reaches the cabin.
- The 6x9 inch oval format accommodates a larger cone surface area than a standard round speaker of comparable width, which supports greater low-frequency displacement and higher sound pressure levels from a shallow mounting depth suitable for deck lid panels.
- Full-range speakers reproduce multiple frequency bands simultaneously, covering lows, mids, and highs within a single driver, making a single 6x9 inch full-range unit functional across the broad audio spectrum without requiring supplementary components at the same mounting location.
- Positioned on the rear deck, a 6x9 inch full-range speaker handles ambient and spatial audio reinforcement for rear-cabin passengers while also contributing bass and midrange energy that travels forward into the main listening area.
- The 10 inch subwoofer size, listed for the Dodge Charger rear deck lid across multiple model years, indicates a mounting cavity large enough to accommodate a driver with a cone diameter in the 10 inch range along with the required basket depth and surround clearance.
- A 10 inch subwoofer is optimized for low-frequency reproduction, generally operating in the range below approximately 80 to 120 Hz, where long acoustic wavelengths benefit from the larger diaphragm area that a 10 inch driver provides.
- Subwoofers are non-directional at the frequencies handled, meaning the rear deck lid placement of a 10 inch subwoofer does not critically affect perceived directionality of bass within the cabin.
- The Dodge Charger rear deck lid accommodating both a 6x9 inch full-range and a 10 inch subwoofer in the same location across years such as 2019 through 2023 indicates the deck lid structure contains multiple distinct mounting cutouts or positions of differing diameters within the same panel.
- The 2018, 2015, and 2014 model years list only the 6x9 inch full-range size without a corresponding 10 inch subwoofer entry, indicating a single active mounting position in the rear deck lid for those years.
- The oval geometry of a 6x9 inch speaker requires an oval cutout in the deck lid panel, which differs in shape from the circular cutout required by the 10 inch subwoofer, confirming the 2 speaker positions are physically separate openings when both sizes are listed.
- Rear deck lid surfaces in sedans are typically constructed from pressed fiberboard or metal-reinforced panels, and the structural characteristics of such materials affect resonance behavior and the acoustic coupling between the speaker enclosure and the mounting surface.
