Additional Notes
- The 1985 Mitsubishi Mirage dashboard locations accept full-range speakers, which handle a broad frequency spectrum from a single driver unit rather than separating frequencies across multiple components.
- Rear deck lid positions may accommodate either midbass or full-range configurations, giving options for frequency range emphasis depending on the desired audio outcome.
- Midbass speakers in the rear deck would typically handle lower-mid frequencies while potentially working alongside other speakers to cover higher ranges, whereas full-range units would attempt to reproduce all frequencies independently.
- The uniform 5.25 inch sizing across both dashboard and rear deck locations in the 1985 Mitsubishi Mirage could simplify speaker selection when sourcing replacement components.
- Full-range speakers generally offer simpler installation since they don't require separate tweeters or crossover networks, though they may compromise on frequency separation compared to component systems.
- Replacing factory speakers with aftermarket units of the same size typically improves clarity and output capability, as original equipment speakers often use less robust materials and simpler construction.
- The rear deck positioning tends to benefit from speakers with reasonable low-frequency response, which explains the midbass compatibility designation for those locations.
