Mitsubishi Eclipse Speaker FAQ
Which speakers should I upgrade first in my Mitsubishi Eclipse for the biggest sound improvement?
Replace the front door speakers first. These handle most of your music's midrange and vocal frequencies. For Eclipse models with 6.75 inch front doors, you'll get better bass response than the smaller 6.5 inch setups. The front speakers typically receive 15-25 watts RMS from factory head units. Component speakers work better than coaxials here because they separate the tweeter from the woofer. This gives you more precise imaging when you're in the driver's seat.
Can I install component speakers in all Mitsubishi Eclipse door locations?
Most Eclipse door panels accept both coaxial and component speakers. The front doors usually have dedicated tweeter mounting points on the dashboard or A-pillar. Rear locations might need custom tweeter mounting. Component systems need crossovers - mount these behind door panels or under seats. Wire the tweeters to 4-8 ohm outputs depending on your amp specs. The factory wiring should handle aftermarket components rated up to 75 watts RMS without modifications.
Why does my Eclipse have different speaker sizes between model years?
Mitsubishi redesigned the door panels multiple times. Early models used 6.5 inch standard sizes. Later versions switched to 6.75 inch for better low-frequency response. Some special editions got 6 x 9 inch speakers for more surface area. The mounting depth varies too - newer models have deeper door cavities. Always measure your current speakers before ordering replacements. Factory speakers typically run 4 ohms impedance across all sizes.
What's the difference between the dashboard tweeters and door tweeters in an Eclipse?
Dashboard tweeters handle frequencies above 4000 Hz and create better stereo imaging. They're usually 1 inch dome tweeters with basic crossovers. Door-mounted tweeters in component systems might cover 3000-20000 Hz range. Dashboard locations give you wider soundstage but less power handling - maybe 10-15 watts max. Component door tweeters can handle 25-40 watts RMS. You might want to keep both systems active if your Eclipse has factory dashboard tweeters.
How do I know if my Eclipse rear speakers are full-range or midrange only?
Check if your Eclipse has rear tweeters or dashboard speakers. Models with separate tweeters usually have midrange-only rear speakers that roll off around 8000 Hz. Full-range rears handle everything up to 20000 Hz without additional tweeters. The 6 x 9 inch rear speakers are typically full-range designs. Smaller 6.5 inch rears might be midrange depending on your Eclipse's audio package. Factory crossovers sometimes limit frequency response even on full-range speakers.
