Mitsubishi Precis Speaker FAQ

What speakers should I replace first in my Mitsubishi Precis for the biggest sound improvement?

Replace the front door panel speakers first if your Precis has them. The 4-inch coaxial or component speakers in the doors handle most of your vocal range and midrange frequencies. Door placement gives better stereo imaging than dashboard mounting. If you don't have door speakers, focus on the dashboard 4-inch units next - they're closest to your ears and carry the most critical frequencies for speech clarity.

Can I install component speakers in all Mitsubishi Precis locations?

Component speakers work in the front door panels and rear side panels of the Precis. Dashboard and rear deck lid locations typically don't have separate tweeter mounting points. The 5.25-inch rear side panel spot from 1990-1992 models actually works well for component systems since you can often mount the tweeter on the panel itself. Dashboard locations usually need full-range or coaxial speakers due to space constraints.

Why does my Mitsubishi Precis have different speaker sizes in different years?

The speaker configuration changed as Mitsubishi updated the interior design. Earlier models used 4-inch speakers throughout, which limited bass response but fit the compact dashboard design. The 5.25-inch speakers introduced in 1990-1994 models provide better low-frequency extension - roughly 20-30Hz lower than the 4-inch units. The larger rear deck speakers in later Precis models can handle more power, typically 40-60 watts RMS compared to 25-35 watts for the smaller speakers.

What's the impedance rating for Mitsubishi Precis factory speakers?

Most Precis speakers run at 4 ohms impedance. The dashboard and door speakers definitely use 4-ohm loads since they connect directly to the head unit's internal amplifier. Rear speakers might vary slightly - some aftermarket replacements suggest 8-ohm compatibility, but 4-ohm speakers will work better with the factory wiring. Check your head unit's specifications if you're unsure, though most 1980s-1990s car stereos expect 4-ohm speakers.

Do I need to modify the Mitsubishi Precis dashboard to fit aftermarket speakers?

The 4-inch dashboard speakers usually drop right in with minimal modification. You might need to trim some plastic tabs or adjust mounting brackets slightly. The speaker depth can be an issue - factory speakers are often shallow designs around 1.5-2 inches deep. Aftermarket speakers sometimes run 2.5-3 inches deep, which could interfere with dashboard components behind the speaker location. Measure twice before ordering replacement speakers for your Precis dashboard.
