Mitsubishi Lancer Speaker FAQ

Which speakers should I upgrade first in my Mitsubishi Lancer?

Start with the front door 6.5 inch speakers. These handle most of your music's frequency range and you'll notice the biggest improvement here. The front door panel location gives better sound staging than rear speakers. Consider component speakers around 50-75 watts RMS at 4 ohms for noticeable upgrade. The 1 inch tweeters can wait - they're secondary to getting solid mids and bass from your main drivers.

Can I install component speakers in all Mitsubishi Lancer door locations?

Yes, both front and rear door panels accept component or coaxial speakers in 6.5 inch size. Component systems might give you better clarity since you can position tweeters separately. The rear doors from newer Lancers also support full-range drivers. However, your front stage should take priority - rear components don't always justify the extra cost unless you frequently have rear passengers.

What's the difference between the tweeter locations in my Lancer?

The A-pillar tweeters typically aim better toward the driver's position. Front door panel tweeters create a wider soundstage but might not image as precisely. Some Lancer models have both - you could potentially run them together with proper crossover settings around 3kHz. The rear door tweeters mainly fill in for back seat passengers. Check if your current setup uses 4 ohm or 8 ohm tweeters before replacing.

Should I use the factory subwoofer locations in my Mitsubishi Lancer?

The 10 inch rear location offers more flexibility than the 8 inch cargo area spot. Rear mounting gives better bass distribution through the cabin. You could fit a powered sub around 150-200 watts here without major modifications. The cargo area placement tends to be more directional. Either way, sealed enclosures probably work better than ported in these tight spaces - though ported might give you more output if space allows.

How do I verify which speaker types my Lancer currently has?

Remove the door panels to see if you have separate tweeters and woofers (component) or single units (coaxial). Check the speaker magnet for impedance markings - usually 4 or 8 ohms. Measure the mounting depth since some aftermarket speakers run deeper than factory units. The Mitsubishi Lancer's door panels typically have enough clearance for most 6.5 inch speakers, but always verify before ordering. Factory wiring should handle most aftermarket speakers without modifications.
