Eagle Talon Dashboard Speaker Size
The Eagle Talon dashboard accommodates a 4 inch speaker size in the dashboard location. Midrange units are the compatible speaker types suited for the audio system. These specifications cover the years 1990 to 1998.
| Year | Type | Size (inch) |
|---|---|---|
| 1998 | Midrange | 4 |
| 1997 | Midrange | 4 |
| 1996 | Midrange | 4 |
| 1995 | Midrange | 4 |
| 1994 | Midrange | 4 |
| 1993 | Midrange | 4 |
| 1992 | Midrange | 4 |
| 1991 | Midrange | 4 |
| 1990 | Midrange | 4 |
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 Eagle Talon dashboard speaker location accepts a 4-inch driver across all model years listed in the specifications.
- Dashboard speaker positions in passenger vehicles are typically shallow-mount enclosures built into the instrument panel, where available depth and width are constrained by structural and HVAC components behind the fascia.
- A 4-inch speaker diameter is a compact format suited to the limited baffle space and shallow cavity depth characteristic of dashboard installations, where larger drivers would not fit within the molded housing geometry.
- The midrange type is the sole compatible speaker type designated for the Eagle Talon dashboard location across all years in the specifications.
- Midrange drivers reproduce frequencies roughly between 500 Hz and 5,000 Hz, a range that covers the core of vocal intelligibility and the majority of fundamental instrument tones in a typical audio signal.
- At 4 inches, the cone surface area is sufficient to move enough air for midrange frequency reproduction without the mass penalty that would limit high-frequency response or the excursion demand associated with bass reproduction.
- Dashboard placement positions the driver at or near dashboard height and angled toward the passenger cabin, which affects the direct sound path to listening positions in the front seats.
- Midrange drivers are generally not designed to handle low-frequency content below their rated band, meaning the dashboard location in the Eagle Talon is not intended as a source of bass reinforcement within the vehicle's audio system.
- The directional behavior of a 4-inch midrange driver becomes increasingly narrow as frequency rises, so the physical aim of the dashboard enclosure opening influences how evenly the upper midrange frequencies are distributed across seating positions.
- Dashboard enclosures are acoustically coupled to the windshield glass and the interior surfaces of the instrument panel, which can introduce reflections and resonances within the midrange band that affect perceived sound quality at the listening position.
