Mitsubishi Eclipse Rear Speaker Size
The Mitsubishi Eclipse rear location accommodates an 8 inch speaker size across all listed model years. Compatible types for the rear position include subwoofer units. These specifications cover the 2007 to 2008 model range.
| Year | Type | Size (inch) |
|---|---|---|
| 2008 | Subwoofer | 8 |
| 2007 | Subwoofer | 8 |
Speaker Types
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Subwoofer | A large driver for the lowest bass notes, typically from about 20 Hz to 120 Hz. It is usually installed in a separate enclosure and works alongside the other speakers. |
Additional Notes
- The rear speaker location in the Mitsubishi Eclipse accommodates an 8-inch driver across the 2007 and 2008 model years.
- An 8-inch subwoofer occupies more physical depth and diameter than a mid-range driver, meaning the rear cavity of the Eclipse must provide sufficient enclosure volume and mounting depth to seat the driver without obstruction.
- The Mitsubishi Eclipse rear location is designated exclusively for subwoofer-type drivers, meaning no full-range or coaxial configurations are listed as compatible for this position.
- A subwoofer is a driver engineered to reproduce low-frequency audio, generally operating in the range below 200 Hz, where wavelengths are long and require a larger cone surface area to move adequate air volume.
- An 8-inch cone diameter produces a moderate low-frequency output, sitting between compact 6.5-inch subwoofers and larger 10-inch or 12-inch units in terms of bass extension and displacement capability.
- The rear placement of a subwoofer in the Eclipse takes advantage of the enclosure-like properties of rear deck or trunk-adjacent cavities, which can reinforce low-frequency output through acoustic coupling with the vehicle interior.
- Because low-frequency sound waves are largely non-directional, a rear-mounted subwoofer in the Mitsubishi Eclipse rear location does not impose significant imaging or stereo-separation requirements on the installation position.
- The 8-inch diameter requires a mounting cutout and a baffle or mounting surface wide enough to accept the driver frame, with a cutout diameter typically narrower than the overall frame by approximately 0.5 to 1 inch depending on the specific driver model.
