Additional Notes
- The 1996 Mitsubishi Diamante features a three-location speaker configuration with dashboard tweeters, door panel midbass or full-range drivers, and rear deck full-range speakers that handle different frequency ranges within the audio spectrum.
- The front door panels accept 5.25-inch speakers designed for midbass or full-range operation, which typically handle the bulk of vocal and instrumental reproduction in the midrange frequencies.
- Dashboard-mounted 1-inch tweeters are intended to reproduce high-frequency content, and replacing these small speakers could affect the clarity of cymbals, higher-pitched instruments, and upper harmonic detail.
- The rear deck lid accommodates 6x9-inch full-range speakers, which represent the largest driver size in the 1996 Mitsubishi Diamante and may contribute to both midrange and lower frequency output depending on the specific speakers installed.
- Upgrading the front door panel speakers might be prioritized by those seeking improved vocal clarity and midrange detail, as these locations are positioned closer to the listening area than the rear deck.
- The dashboard tweeter locations suggest a factory design that attempted to create a higher soundstage, though the 1-inch size limits the power handling and output capability of these drivers.
- Full-range speakers in both the door and rear deck locations indicate flexibility in replacement options, allowing for either dedicated frequency-specific drivers or single speakers that handle multiple frequency ranges.
- The combination of small dashboard tweeters with larger door and rear speakers creates a distributed sound system where different frequencies emanate from different physical locations within the cabin.
- Aftermarket speaker selection for the rear deck might focus on efficiency ratings and frequency response characteristics, as the 6x9-inch format offers considerable variation in sonic performance across different manufacturers.
- Radio compatibility with both single and double DIN sizes provides options for head unit upgrades that could supply more power to replacement speakers or offer additional signal processing capabilities.
