Plymouth Laser Speaker FAQ

What speakers should I replace first in my Plymouth Laser?

Replace the front door panel speakers first. These 6.5 inch positions handle most of your music's critical frequencies and vocals. Front speakers create the primary soundstage you hear while driving. The dashboard 4 inch speakers might seem easier to access, but they won't give you the bass response improvement you're probably looking for. Rear door speakers can wait - they're mainly for rear passengers anyway.

Can I install component speakers in all Plymouth Laser locations?

Front and rear door panels accept component speakers, but dashboard locations only work with coaxial or full-range types. Components need separate mounting for tweeters and woofers. Dashboard space is too limited for component crossover networks. You'll get better sound staging with components up front anyway. The 4 inch dashboard speakers should probably stay coaxial - keeps installation simpler and you won't lose much sound quality there.

What's the difference between coaxial and full-range speakers for my Plymouth Laser?

Coaxial speakers have a separate tweeter mounted on the woofer cone - gives you highs and mids from one unit. Full-range speakers use the same cone for all frequencies. Coaxials typically sound clearer in the 2-8kHz range where vocals sit. For the dashboard 4 inch positions, either works fine since you're mainly filling in upper frequencies anyway. Door panels benefit more from coaxials because they're handling more of the frequency spectrum.

Do I need an amplifier for 6.5 inch speakers in Plymouth Laser door panels?

Depends on your power goals and speaker choice. Factory head unit puts out maybe 15-20 watts RMS per channel. Most aftermarket 6.5 inch speakers handle 50-100 watts RMS and will sound better with proper amplification. You might notice the difference immediately, or you might not until you turn it up loud. Component speakers especially benefit from clean amplifier power since they typically have lower sensitivity ratings around 87-89 dB.

What impedance should I choose for Plymouth Laser speakers?

Stick with 4 ohm speakers. Most car audio systems are designed around 4 ohm loads. Your Plymouth Laser head unit expects 4 ohms and will deliver proper power at that impedance. 8 ohm speakers will work but you'll get roughly half the power output. 2 ohm speakers might overload some head units. If you're adding an amplifier later, check its specifications - some amps prefer 4 ohm, others can handle 2 ohm loads just fine.
