Additional Notes
- The 2009 Mitsubishi Eclipse contains four distinct speaker locations with varying sizes, suggesting a tiered audio system where different frequency ranges are distributed across specific mounting positions throughout the cabin and cargo space.
- Dashboard tweeters at 1 inch handle high-frequency reproduction, while the door and rear panel speakers in the 6.5-inch to 6.75-inch range manage midrange and bass frequencies, indicating a factory separation of the audio spectrum across multiple components.
- Front door panels accommodate slightly larger speakers at 6.75 inches compared to the 6.5-inch rear side panel units, which may reflect design constraints or an intentional front-biased soundstage configuration in the factory setup.
- The 8-inch cargo area subwoofer location provides dedicated low-frequency output capability, though aftermarket replacements in this position could potentially enhance bass response depending on the power handling and enclosure characteristics of the chosen driver.
- Both midbass and full-range speaker types are compatible with the door and rear panel locations, offering flexibility in whether to maintain a component system with separate tweeters or switch to coaxial full-range units during replacement.
- Single DIN and Double DIN radio compatibility suggests the head unit opening can accommodate either size, which may influence aftermarket stereo selection based on desired features, screen size, or amplification requirements for upgraded speakers.
- Replacing the factory tweeters would likely require units specifically designed for 1-inch applications, as this represents a less common size compared to standard component tweeter mountings in many aftermarket audio systems.
- The combination of dedicated tweeter positions and larger midbass-capable speakers suggests that a component speaker upgrade in the front doors could work synergistically with the existing dashboard tweeter locations, assuming crossover integration is properly addressed.
