Additional Notes
- The 1987 Mitsubishi Mirage features two primary speaker locations, both accommodating 5.25 inch units in the dashboard and rear deck lid positions.
- Dashboard speakers in this configuration are limited to full-range types, which handle the entire frequency spectrum from a single driver unit.
- Rear deck lid positions offer more flexibility, accepting either midbass drivers or full-range speakers depending on the desired audio configuration.
- The midbass compatibility in the rear suggests that a component system setup could be implemented, where the rear handles lower frequencies while separate tweeters manage higher ranges.
- Since the 1987 Mitsubishi Mirage uses a single DIN radio slot, aftermarket head unit upgrades would be relatively straightforward with standard-sized replacements.
- Replacing factory speakers with aftermarket 5.25 inch units typically provides noticeable improvements in clarity and output, particularly if the original speakers have degraded over time.
- The dual-purpose compatibility of the rear deck position allows owners to tailor their system based on whether they prefer a simpler full-range setup or a more separated frequency approach with dedicated midbass drivers.
- Full-range speakers may be the more practical choice for those seeking a simple upgrade without the complexity of adding amplifiers or crossovers to the system.
