Mitsubishi Galant Speaker FAQ

Which speakers should I replace first in my Mitsubishi Galant for the biggest sound improvement?

Replace the front door panel 6.5 inch speakers first. These handle most of your music's midrange and vocal frequencies - probably 60-70% of what you actually hear. The factory units typically run around 20-25 watts RMS with basic paper cones. Upgrading to quality coaxials with 50+ watts RMS and polypropylene or carbon fiber cones transforms your entire listening experience. The rear deck speakers can wait since they mainly provide fill sound.

Can I install component speakers in the Mitsubishi Galant front doors instead of coaxials?

Yes, component speakers work in the front door panels. The factory setup already supports this with dedicated 1 inch tweeter locations - either in the center dash or dashboard depending on your Galant's configuration. You'll get better imaging and soundstage separation compared to coaxials. Mount the woofers in the doors, run the tweeters to the existing tweeter spots. Crossovers might need to be tucked behind the door panel or under the dash. Component systems typically handle 75-100 watts RMS versus 40-60 for most coaxials.

What's the difference between the 6 x 9 and 6.75 inch rear deck speakers in my Galant?

The 6 x 9 inch setup appears in most Galant models and offers more cone surface area - roughly 30% more than round 6.75 inch speakers. This means better bass response and higher output capability, especially in the 80-200 Hz range where you feel the music's punch. However, 6.75 inch speakers often have tighter, more controlled bass. The oval 6 x 9 format can sometimes sound less precise in the midrange. Both locations support triaxial options if you want built-in tweeters and midrange drivers in the rear deck.

Why does my Mitsubishi Galant have both dashboard and center dash speakers?

Different model periods used different tweeter configurations. The center dash 3.5 inch speakers handle midrange fill - they're not really tweeters despite the small size. These run full-range frequencies, maybe 150 Hz to 15 kHz with limited power handling around 15-20 watts. The actual 1 inch tweeters in dashboard locations focus on frequencies above 3-4 kHz. If your Galant has both, the center dash speakers might be disconnected or running at reduced volume. Check your factory amplifier settings or fade controls.
