Additional Notes

  • The 2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse features a component-style speaker arrangement in the front doors, with separate 1-inch tweeter locations and 6.5-inch midbass or full-range positions that may allow for upgraded sound staging when replaced together.
  • Rear side panel positions accommodate 6x9 inch full-range speakers, which tend to offer broader frequency response compared to smaller round speakers due to the increased cone surface area of the oval design.
  • The front door locations could support either dedicated midbass drivers paired with the existing tweeter mounts, or standard full-range speakers if a simpler replacement approach is preferred.
  • Aftermarket component speaker systems with 6.5-inch woofers and 1-inch tweeters would physically align with the factory front door mounting points without requiring different size adapters.
  • The radio opening supports both single DIN and double DIN head unit sizes, which may provide flexibility when considering audio upgrades that coordinate with speaker replacements.
  • Replacing the rear 6x9 inch speakers might deliver noticeable bass output improvements given the larger cone area available in that size format.
  • The separated tweeter location in the front doors suggests the factory audio design intended some degree of high-frequency directionality, which quality replacement speakers could enhance further.
