Plymouth Acclaim Speaker FAQ

What speakers fit in a Plymouth Acclaim rear door panel?

5.25-inch coaxial or component speakers mount directly in the Plymouth Acclaim rear door panels. Coaxials work better here since you get tweeter and woofer in one unit - around 50-75 watts RMS should be plenty. Component systems need separate tweeter mounting which gets complicated in rear locations. Look for 4-ohm impedance to match factory wiring. The rear position benefits more from coaxials anyway since passengers aren't sitting in the optimal listening position for separated drivers.

Should I upgrade front or rear speakers first in my Plymouth Acclaim?

Front speakers take priority. Your Plymouth Acclaim front doors handle the critical midrange frequencies you actually hear while driving. Rear speakers mostly fill in ambient sound. Start with 5.25-inch components up front if your budget allows - separate tweeters and woofers deliver cleaner sound separation. Coaxials work too but components give you better staging. Plan for 60-80 watts RMS per channel. Rear doors can wait or just get decent coaxials later. The front soundstage makes the biggest difference in overall system quality.

Can I install component speakers in both front and rear doors of a Plymouth Acclaim?

Technically yes, but it's overkill for the rear. Front door components make sense - you get proper tweeter placement at ear level and dedicated woofer space. Rear doors in the Plymouth Acclaim work fine with components but you're paying extra for separation you won't really notice. Most people sit up front anyway. If you do go full component, keep rear tweeter levels lower or you'll mess up the front soundstage. Maybe 40-50 watts to the rear components versus 70-80 watts front. The wiring gets more complex too since you need separate runs for tweeters and woofers.

What's the difference between midrange and full-range speakers for Plymouth Acclaim front doors?

Full-range speakers try to handle everything from bass to treble in one driver - usually coaxials with built-in tweeters. Midrange speakers focus on the 200Hz to 5kHz range where vocals and instruments live. In your Plymouth Acclaim front doors, full-range coaxials are simpler but midrange drivers might sound cleaner if you're building a more complex system. Midrange needs separate tweeters and possibly a subwoofer though. For most upgrades, quality full-range 5.25-inch speakers around 60 watts work better than cheap midrange drivers. The factory location limits bass response anyway so don't expect miracles from any single driver.
