Additional Notes
- The 2012 Mitsubishi Eclipse factory audio system includes speakers in four distinct locations with varying sizes ranging from 1-inch tweeters to an 8-inch subwoofer configuration.
- Dashboard-mounted tweeters at 1 inch handle high-frequency reproduction, while the larger midbass and full-range drivers in the doors and rear panels manage mid-range and lower frequencies.
- Front door panels accommodate 6.75-inch speakers, slightly larger than the 6.5-inch units found in the rear side panels, though both locations accept midbass or full-range driver types.
- The cargo area contains an 8-inch subwoofer position, suggesting the factory sound system includes dedicated low-frequency reinforcement beyond the door and panel speakers.
- Aftermarket upgrades might prioritize the front door speakers first, as they typically contribute most significantly to the listening experience in front seating positions.
- Component speaker systems with separate tweeters could utilize the existing 1-inch dashboard locations rather than requiring tweeter mounting in the door panels.
- The radio housing accepts both single DIN and double DIN head units, providing flexibility for aftermarket receiver installations without requiring dashboard modifications.
- Coaxial full-range speakers would function in the 6.75-inch and 6.5-inch locations, though component systems might offer enhanced staging when paired with the dashboard tweeter positions.
- Sound quality improvements would likely come from replacing the larger drivers first, as the door and rear panel speakers reproduce the broader frequency range compared to the specialized tweeter and subwoofer positions.
- The factory subwoofer location at 8 inches represents a compact bass solution that aftermarket alternatives might surpass with larger enclosures if cargo space permits modification.
