Additional Notes
- The factory audio configuration in the 1989 Mitsubishi Galant positions smaller 4-inch midrange speakers in the dashboard location, suggesting these units handle primarily vocal and instrumental frequencies rather than serving as full-range transducers.
- Rear deck lid speakers at 6.5 inches offer compatibility with both midbass and full-range driver types, providing flexibility in whether to prioritize lower frequency extension or maintain broader frequency coverage from a single mounting point.
- Dashboard speaker replacement may present a higher priority consideration given the 4-inch size limitation, as this smaller format typically exhibits restricted frequency response compared to the larger rear deck installations.
- The dual compatibility of rear deck positions with midbass drivers suggests potential system configuration where dashboard midrange units could pair with dedicated rear midbass speakers, creating a front-to-rear frequency distribution rather than relying solely on full-range drivers.
- Full-range 6.5-inch speakers in rear deck locations would likely provide broader frequency coverage than the dashboard units alone, potentially compensating for the limited low-frequency output from 4-inch front drivers in the 1989 Mitsubishi Galant.
- Single DIN radio specification indicates standard aftermarket head unit compatibility without requiring dashboard modifications for double-height receivers, maintaining straightforward source component upgrade paths.
- The size differential between front and rear speakers suggests the factory system design may have allocated different frequency responsibilities to each location, rather than implementing identical drivers throughout the cabin.
- Midbass-specific drivers in rear deck positions could potentially enhance lower midrange presence, particularly if paired with a subwoofer addition that would handle frequencies below typical 6.5-inch driver capabilities.
