Dodge Hornet Rear Door Panel Speaker Size
The Dodge Hornet rear door panel accommodates a 6.5 inch speaker size and 1 inch speakers. Compatible types for the location include midbass and tweeter units. The specifications cover the 2023 to 2026 model years.
| Year | Type | Size (inch) |
|---|---|---|
| 2026 | Midbass | 6.5 |
| 2026 | Tweeter | 1 |
| 2025 | Midbass | 6.5 |
| 2025 | Tweeter | 1 |
| 2024 | Midbass | 6.5 |
| 2024 | Tweeter | 1 |
| 2023 | Midbass | 6.5 |
| 2023 | Tweeter | 1 |
Speaker Types
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Tweeter | A small driver built for high frequencies, typically from about 2,000 Hz to 20,000 Hz. It adds treble detail and clarity and is usually mounted near ear level or aimed at the listener. |
| 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. |
Additional Notes
- The Dodge Hornet rear door panel accommodates 2 distinct speaker sizes across all listed model years: 6.5 inch and 1 inch.
- Rear door panel locations are typically recessed within the inner door skin, with the speaker mounting surface oriented to face inward toward the cabin at an angle determined by the door's interior contour.
- A 6.5 inch driver in a rear door panel occupies a mid-to-lower position within the door cavity, where the enclosure volume behind the cone is formed by the door's internal air space.
- The 6.5 inch size is associated with midbass reproduction, covering approximately 80 Hz to 500 Hz, a range responsible for the lower-midrange body of vocals, bass guitar fundamentals, and kick drum weight.
- In a rear door panel position, a 6.5 inch midbass driver benefits from the natural low-frequency reinforcement that door cavities can supply, as the sealed or semi-sealed air volume behind the cone acts as a passive acoustic enclosure.
- The 1 inch tweeter handles high-frequency content, typically from around 2 kHz to 20 kHz, reproducing consonants in speech, the upper harmonics of instruments, and transient detail such as cymbal strikes and string overtones.
- A 1 inch tweeter in a rear door panel is a physically small driver, generally mounted at a higher point on the panel or within a dedicated pod to direct high-frequency dispersion toward the listening area, since tweeters at 1 inch diameter produce relatively narrow directional radiation at upper frequencies.
- The pairing of a 6.5 inch midbass and a 1 inch tweeter within the same rear door panel location indicates a 2-way speaker arrangement per door, where frequency responsibilities are divided between the 2 drivers.
- The rear door panel position places the audio sources behind and to the side of rear-seat passengers, which affects the spatial imaging and the angle at which direct sound from the tweeter reaches the listening area.
- The 1 inch tweeter diameter is the standard size for automotive tweeters, and at 1 inch the diaphragm mass is low enough to reproduce high-frequency transients with minimal inertia-related distortion.
