Additional Notes
- The 1987 Mitsubishi Montero features three distinct speaker locations, with dashboard positions accepting smaller drivers compared to door panel installations.
- Dashboard speakers are limited to 3.5 inch full-range units, which typically handle mid and high frequencies without dedicated tweeter support.
- Both front and rear door panels accommodate 5.25 inch speakers, offering flexibility between midbass drivers and full-range configurations.
- Door panel locations may provide priority for replacement due to larger cone area compared to dashboard positions, potentially contributing to enhanced bass response and overall output.
- Full-range speakers in door locations would handle the complete frequency spectrum, while midbass options would require separate tweeters for high-frequency reproduction.
- The single DIN radio opening maintains standard aftermarket head unit compatibility without requiring additional mounting adapters or trim modifications.
- Upgrading door speakers before dashboard units might yield more noticeable sonic improvements given the size differential between 5.25 inch and 3.5 inch drivers.
- Component speaker systems could be installed in door positions using midbass drivers, though tweeter mounting locations would need to be determined separately from the factory speaker slots.
