What size speakers are in a 2016 Dodge Charger?
Front-door speakers are typically 6.5 inches. Rear doors commonly use 6x9-inch speakers on many audio setups. Premium packages add a subwoofer (Beats Audio uses a 10-inch sub) and extra speakers. Exact sizes vary by trim and market, so check your car’s build sheet for the precise configuration.
Speaker sizes by audio package
The following outlines the typical sizes you’ll encounter depending on the factory audio package in a 2016 Dodge Charger. Note that exact sizes can vary by production run and market.
- Base 6-Speaker System: Front-door speakers are 6.5 inches. Rear-door speakers are commonly 6x9 inches. Dash or A-pillar tweeters are typically around 0.5–1 inch. No separate subwoofer is included in the baseline setup.
- Premium 9-Speaker System: Front-door speakers remain 6.5 inches; rear-door speakers are usually 6x9 inches. There are additional tweeters (in the dash/A-pillars) to help with high frequencies, and a subwoofer is typically included as part of the system, though exact size can vary by market.
- Beats Audio 12-Speaker System: Front-door speakers are generally 6.5 inches, and rear-door speakers are commonly 6x9 inches (with accompanying tweeters in the dash/A-pillars). This upgrade includes a dedicated subwoofer, typically around 10 inches, delivering deeper bass and overall louder output.
Concluding note: If you’re planning replacements or upgrades, sizes above are typical but not guaranteed for every exact vehicle. Always confirm with the dealer, your owner’s manual, or by measuring the installed speakers before purchasing replacements.
Additional considerations for replacements and upgrades
Beyond the basic speaker sizes, a few practical details can affect replacement choices and sound quality. Tweeters are usually small—roughly half to one inch in diameter. Subwoofers, when present, are commonly installed in the trunk area and can range from about 8 to 12 inches depending on the system. If you’re upgrading, you’ll want to match impedance and power handling to avoid distortion and preserve system balance.
To ensure accuracy for your specific car, consult the window sticker, the original build sheet, or the factory service manual. If you’re unsure, a professional car audio installer can verify exact sizes and fitment for your exact trim and market.
Summary
The 2016 Dodge Charger offers a range of speaker sizes tied to its audio packages. The standard setup typically uses 6.5-inch front-door speakers and 6x9-inch rear-door speakers, with tweeters in the dash or A-pillars. Higher-end systems add more speakers and a subwoofer, most notably the Beats Audio system, which includes a 10-inch sub. Always verify your specific trim’s configuration to confirm the exact sizes before purchasing replacements or upgrades.
