Speaker - Except Lancer Evolution Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X

Scheme 218

The following three types of speakers are available.

1. 4 speakers (Front door: 16 cm, rear door: 16 cm)
2. 6 speakers (tweeter: 3.5 cm, front door: 16 cm, rear door: 16 cm)
3. 9 speakers (tweeter: 3.5 cm, front door: 16 cm, rear door: 2-way coaxial 16 cm, subwoofer: 25 cm) < Rockford Fosgate® premium sound system >

TWEETER

For the front sash trim, two types of tweeters, the balanced dome tweeter < Vehicles with 6 speakers > and soft dome tweeter < Vehicles with 9 speakers (Rockford Fosgate® premium sound system) >, have been established. The soft dome tweeter can play clearer treble with less distortion compared to the balanced dome tweeter. For better treble, two types of front sash garnish, resin type < Vehicles with 6 speakers > and punching metal type < Rockford Fosgate® premium sound system >, has been established. With the punching metal type, the metal has been adopted for the punching part to enlarge the punching opening, enabling the playback of cleaner treble.

Note. The parts with "*" are installed exclusively to the vehicles with Rockford Fosgate® premium sound system.

For the front door speaker, two types of speakers, 16 cm paper cone speaker < vehicles with 4 speakers, 6 speakers > and PP (polypropylene) cone speaker < Rockford Fosgate® premium sound system >, are available. For the rear door speaker, two types of speakers, 16 cm paper cone speaker < Vehicles with 4 speakers, 6 speakers > and PP (polypropylene) cone 2-way coaxial speaker < Vehicles with 9 speakers (Rockford Fosgate® premium sound system) >, are available. Compared to the paper cone speakers, the PP (polypropylene) cone speakers can playback crisper bass. The door opening of the vehicles with 9 speaker (Rockford Fosgate® premium sound system) is blocked by using the sheet metal cover and the urethane integrated resin sheet (resin cover and water proof film) to make the door into a speaker box, thus improving the sound quality. As an advantage of the sheet metal cover, the rigidity of the areas around the speaker has been increased, and the higher sound pressure, suppression of high harmonic, and suppression of dumping are achieved to improve sound quality.

Scheme 221

The one-touch installable speaker (with 3 tabs, fixed by rotating) has been adopted to improve serviceability.

SUBWOOFER < VEHICLES WITH ROCKFORD FOSGATE® PREMIUM SOUND SYSTEM >

The 25 cm dual voice coil subwoofer has been installed to the trunk room < LANCER > or quarter trim (LH) < LANCER SPORTBACK >, enabling the playback of dynamic deep bass.
