Mitsubishi Mirage Speaker FAQ

Which speakers should I upgrade first in my Mitsubishi Mirage for the biggest sound improvement?

Start with the front door panel speakers. Most Mitsubishi Mirage models use 6.5 inch coaxial or component speakers here, and they handle the majority of your music's frequency range. The front doors typically get 50-75 watts RMS, so upgrading these gives you the most noticeable bass and midrange improvement. Dashboard speakers are secondary - they're usually 4 inch or 5.25 inch and mainly fill in high frequencies around 2kHz-20kHz.

Can I install component speakers in my Mitsubishi Mirage rear deck instead of coaxials?

Yes, the rear deck lid supports both coaxial and component configurations depending on your model. 6.5 inch components work well here, though you'll need to mount the tweeters separately. Some Mirage models originally came with 6x9 inch triaxials in the rear deck - these push more air volume but components give you better imaging. Consider that rear speakers mainly provide fill and ambiance, not primary stereo imaging. The impedance should match your amp, typically 4 ohms for factory head units.

Why does my Mitsubishi Mirage have different speaker sizes in the dashboard versus doors?

Space constraints mostly. Dashboard locations in the Mirage typically accommodate 4 inch full-range speakers, while door panels have room for larger 6.5 inch drivers. The smaller dash speakers handle upper midrange and treble (around 200Hz-20kHz), while door speakers cover the full spectrum down to 40-50Hz. This creates a natural two-way system. Some models use 5.25 inch speakers in both locations, which can actually simplify replacement and provide more consistent tonal balance across the front stage.

What's the difference between the coaxial and full-range speaker options for my Mitsubishi Mirage?

Coaxials have a separate tweeter mounted on the woofer cone, usually crossing over around 3-4kHz. Full-range speakers use a single cone to reproduce all frequencies, though they often struggle with highs above 10kHz. In the Mirage's rear deck applications, full-range speakers might actually sound smoother since they're mainly providing fill. Power handling varies - coaxials typically handle 20-60 watts RMS while full-range speakers often max out around 30-40 watts. The midrange designation usually means frequency response optimized for 200Hz-5kHz.

Should I stick with the original speaker sizes when upgrading my Mitsubishi Mirage audio system?

Generally yes, though there's some flexibility. The 6.5 inch front door speakers are your best bet for upgrades - they offer good bass extension down to 50-60Hz and plenty of aftermarket options. If your Mirage has 5.25 inch speakers, you might find fewer premium options available. The 6x9 rear deck speakers move more air but can sound boomy in smaller cabins. Dashboard speakers... well, the 4 inch size limits your options significantly. Mounting depth matters too - measure before buying since some Mirage locations have shallow clearance.
