Additional Notes
- The 2001 Mitsubishi Diamante features a multi-location speaker configuration with both tweeters and larger drivers distributed throughout the cabin, suggesting a factory attempt at staged sound presentation.
- Tweeter locations in the dashboard and front door panels indicate that high-frequency response was addressed separately from midrange and low-frequency reproduction in the factory setup.
- The 6.5-inch openings in the front doors and rear deck accept either midbass or full-range speakers, providing flexibility in component selection based on whether tweeters are retained or replaced.
- Front door panels accommodate both 1-inch tweeters and 6.5-inch drivers, which could support component speaker systems where separate tweeters and woofers work in conjunction with external crossovers.
- Replacing the factory tweeters might yield noticeable improvements in clarity and detail retrieval, particularly if aftermarket units offer higher sensitivity or extended frequency response.
- The rear deck 6.5-inch speakers could contribute to overall sound fullness, though front-stage prioritization is often recommended for optimal imaging and soundstage depth.
- Full-range speakers in the 6.5-inch positions might simplify installation by eliminating the need for separate tweeters, though component systems typically provide better sound separation and staging.
- Both single DIN and double DIN radio compatibility exists, allowing for either traditional head unit installations or larger touchscreen receivers depending on preference and feature requirements.
- Upgrading the 6.5-inch door speakers tends to produce the most substantial sonic improvement, as these handle the majority of the frequency spectrum and benefit from door-mounted positioning.
- Sensitivity ratings and power handling capabilities of replacement speakers would determine how much improvement could be achieved with the factory head unit versus aftermarket amplification.
