Eagle Talon Rear Door Panel Speaker Size
The Eagle Talon rear door panel accommodates a 6.5 inch speaker size and 6x9 inch speakers, depending on the model year. Compatible speaker types across these configurations include full-range and midbass units. These specifications cover the 1990 to 1998 model range.
| Year | Type | Size (inch) |
|---|---|---|
| 1998 | Full-Range | 6x9 |
| 1997 | Full-Range | 6x9 |
| 1996 | Full-Range | 6x9 |
| 1995 | Full-Range | 6x9 |
| 1994 | Midbass / Full-Range | 6.5 |
| 1993 | Midbass / Full-Range | 6.5 |
| 1992 | Midbass / Full-Range | 6.5 |
| 1991 | Midbass / Full-Range | 6.5 |
| 1990 | Midbass / Full-Range | 6.5 |
Speaker Types
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| 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. |
| 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 Eagle Talon rear door panel is a surface-mounted location, with the speaker seated within the door's inner panel cavity, where the enclosure effect of the door structure influences low-frequency resonance and overall output character.
- Rear door locations are positioned toward the lower rear of the cabin, which affects stereo imaging by contributing ambient and supporting frequencies rather than direct high-frequency detail aimed at the listening position.
- The 6x9 inch oval format appears in the Eagle Talon rear door panel across the 1995 through 1998 model years, with the elongated cone surface area producing greater low-frequency displacement compared to circular formats of similar nominal diameter.
- The increased radiating surface of a 6x9 inch driver allows stronger bass and lower-midrange reproduction, which suits a rear door location where foundational frequency support is a primary acoustic function.
- The oval geometry of a 6x9 inch speaker requires an accordingly shaped mounting cutout, meaning the rear door panel in the 1995-1998 Eagle Talon accommodates an elliptical baffle opening rather than a circular one.
- The 6.5 inch circular format is specified for the Eagle Talon rear door panel across the 1990 through 1994 model years, with a circular cone producing a more uniform dispersion pattern compared to an oval driver.
- A 6.5 inch driver in a door panel location operates within a constrained shallow-mount depth, and the circular mounting cutout for the 1990-1994 models reflects the standardized round opening associated with that format.
- Full-range speakers, listed as compatible with both the 6x9 inch and 6.5 inch rear door panel positions, incorporate a woofer cone and a small integrated tweeter or whizzer cone to handle a broad frequency span from bass through treble within a single driver unit.
- The compatibility of full-range drivers across both size formats in the Eagle Talon rear door panel indicates the mounting depth and baffle area in both configurations can accommodate a self-contained multi-frequency driver without a separate crossover network.
- Midbass speakers, listed as compatible alongside full-range drivers for the 6.5 inch rear door panel position in the 1990-1994 Eagle Talon, are dedicated drivers optimized for the lower midrange and upper bass frequencies, typically operating between approximately 80 Hz and 500 Hz.
- A midbass driver in the rear door panel location would rely on separate tweeters mounted elsewhere in the cabin to cover upper frequencies, as the midbass type does not reproduce high-frequency content independently.
- The rear door panel location positions a midbass or full-range driver within the door skin, where panel resonance and the semi-sealed air volume behind the driver cone influence the low-frequency response and efficiency of the installed speaker.
