Plymouth Neon Speaker FAQ

What speakers should I replace first in my Plymouth Neon for the biggest sound improvement?

Start with the front door panel 6.5 inch speakers. These handle most of your music's frequency range and sit closest to your ears. The factory coaxials in the Plymouth Neon doors typically run around 4 ohms and maybe 20-30 watts RMS. Upgrading to quality component speakers here gives you better imaging and clearer vocals. The rear deck 6 x 9 speakers can wait - they're mainly for fill and bass support. Dashboard speakers? Those 3.5 inch units barely matter unless you're going for full surround staging.

Can I install component speakers in all Plymouth Neon locations?

Front doors accept components easily since there's space for separate tweeters and woofers. The rear deck lid works better with coaxial or triaxial speakers though. Installing components back there means finding tweeter mounting points, which gets complicated fast. Dashboard spots are definitely coaxial territory - no room for separate drivers in those 3.5 inch openings. Most Plymouth Neon owners stick with a front component, rear coaxial setup. Keeps wiring simple and gives you the staging benefits where they matter most.

What's the difference between coaxial and triaxial speakers for my Plymouth Neon rear deck?

Coaxial speakers have a tweeter mounted on the woofer cone. Triaxial adds a small midrange driver, sometimes called a "super tweeter." For the Plymouth Neon's 6 x 9 rear position, triaxials might seem better but... the extra driver often creates frequency overlap issues. Quality coaxials usually sound cleaner. Look for speakers rated around 4 ohms, 50-75 watts RMS for the rear deck. The triaxial's advantage shows up more in cars where rear speakers carry more of the audio load. Your Plymouth Neon's front speakers do most of the heavy lifting anyway.

Why are my Plymouth Neon dashboard speakers so quiet compared to other locations?

Those 3.5 inch dashboard speakers can't move much air. Small cone area means limited output, especially in lower frequencies. They're probably getting 10-15 watts from the factory head unit, which isn't much for that size driver. The Plymouth Neon's dashboard placement also aims sound toward the windshield rather than your ears directly. Some people disconnect them entirely and rely on front door speakers for better imaging. If you want to keep them active, look for efficient full-range 3.5 inch speakers with sensitivity ratings above 88 dB. Won't transform your system but might add some presence to the upper frequencies.
