Plymouth Sundance Speaker FAQ

What speakers should I prioritize replacing first in my Plymouth Sundance?

Replace the front door panel speakers first. The 5.25 inch front speakers handle most of your music's critical midrange frequencies - vocals, guitars, piano. Your Plymouth Sundance's rear 5 x 7 speakers mainly provide fill and bass support. Front speakers create the soundstage you actually hear while driving. Start there, then upgrade rears later if budget allows.

Can I install component speakers in my Plymouth Sundance door panels?

Yes, both front and rear locations accept component systems. Front 5.25 inch components will give you the biggest improvement - separate tweeters and woofers create better imaging than coaxials. The rear 5 x 7 position also supports components, though many people stick with coaxials there since... well, you're not really listening to rear speakers anyway. Component crossovers might need custom mounting depending on your Plymouth Sundance's door panel space.

What power handling should I look for in Plymouth Sundance replacement speakers?

Target 50-75 watts RMS for front 5.25 inch speakers, 40-60 watts for rear 5 x 7s. Most aftermarket speakers in these sizes handle 20-100 watts RMS comfortably. Your factory Plymouth Sundance head unit probably outputs 15-20 watts per channel, so almost any decent aftermarket speaker will be an upgrade. Higher power handling doesn't always mean better sound - sensitivity ratings matter more for low-powered systems.

Do 5 x 7 speakers sound different than round speakers in my Plymouth Sundance?

The oval 5 x 7 design typically produces slightly different bass response than round speakers. More cone area means potentially better low-end output, but the oval shape can create minor frequency irregularities. For your Plymouth Sundance rear position, this usually isn't noticeable during normal listening. The 5 x 7 size was pretty common in late 80s and early 90s cars. Sound quality depends more on speaker construction than shape.

What impedance speakers work with Plymouth Sundance factory wiring?

Use 4-ohm speakers. Most car audio systems, including your Plymouth Sundance, are designed for 4-ohm loads. Installing 8-ohm speakers will reduce power output from your head unit or amplifier. 2-ohm speakers might overload factory wiring and damage your stereo. Stick with 4-ohm impedance for both the front 5.25 inch and rear 5 x 7 positions unless you're adding an external amplifier.

Will midrange speakers improve sound quality in my Plymouth Sundance front doors?

Possibly, if you're building a three-way component system. The front location supports midrange drivers, which handle 200Hz to 5kHz frequencies separately from woofers and tweeters. However, most people get excellent results with quality two-way components in their Plymouth Sundance. Three-way systems need more complex crossover networks and additional mounting points. Unless you're really focused on vocal clarity and instrument separation, two-way components usually provide better value.
