Saturn Relay-1 Speaker FAQ
What speakers should I replace first in my Saturn Relay-1 for the biggest sound improvement?
Replace the front door panel speakers first. The 6.5 inch front speakers handle most of your music's midrange and vocal frequencies. Since you sit closer to the front speakers, upgrading them creates the most noticeable difference. Look for coaxial speakers rated around 50-75 watts RMS with 4-ohm impedance. The rear 6 x 9 speakers can wait - they mainly provide fill and bass support. Front speakers probably get 70% of your listening attention anyway.
Can I install component speakers in both front and rear locations of my Saturn Relay-1?
Yes, but focus your component speaker budget on the front doors. The Saturn Relay-1 front door panels support component systems with separate tweeters and woofers. You'll need to mount tweeters in the dash or A-pillars. The rear 6 x 9 location can accept components too, though the benefits are less dramatic back there. Component systems typically need 2-4 ohm loads and crossovers rated for 20Hz-20kHz frequency response. Installation gets complex with four separate crossover networks though.
What's the difference between coaxial and full-range speakers for the Saturn Relay-1 rear deck?
Coaxial speakers have a tweeter mounted on top of the woofer cone. Full-range speakers rely on the main cone to reproduce all frequencies without a separate tweeter. For the 6 x 9 rear position, coaxials usually sound better because they extend treble response up to 20kHz. Full-range 6 x 9s might roll off around 12-15kHz. The rear speakers in your Saturn Relay-1 mainly fill in ambient sound and bass below 80Hz anyway. Coaxials give you more complete frequency coverage without much extra cost.
Why does my Saturn Relay-1 list three speaker types for the same locations?
The factory accommodates different audio packages and aftermarket flexibility. Your Saturn Relay-1 probably came with basic coaxial speakers originally. The component option means you can upgrade to separate tweeters and woofers for better sound staging. Full-range capability exists for budget replacements or specific applications. Most people stick with coaxials for easy installation. The mounting points and wiring support all three types, so you're not locked into one choice. Check your current setup before buying replacements.
