Slight turn of the gain on the 4 channel amp for front and rear, no gain on the subs. The EQ on the HU is set pretty much flat. I think the rear door speakers do a good job at filling in some sound. I don't really "hear" them, but it's definitely a more full sound than if I have them off. The only problem I ran into is that on the front doors, even with the 1" spacer, the 5.25 Polk MMs seem to be a little wide to fit in the door. The are up about 1cm off the spacer as I wasn't able to screw them down any farther than that without bending them. Do you think that will make a difference? They sound great as far as I can tell. If I turn off my subs, I get a decent amount of bass from all 4 speakers. Can't wait to get some more listening time in!

Sounds like you are doing well.Dont't be afraid to spend time fiddling around with the setup and getting everything sounding exactly as you want it.
If your speakers need a thicker spacer, just make one from wood like the ones I posted a photo of above. Only takes a few minutes and is better than the back of the speaker pressing against a door - will probably create rattles etc.
Well done!

Size?

What size speakers are in the doors? I've been trying to find out with no help. I keep getting either 5.25 or 6.5-6.75"

Not sure what size as not changed mine in the outlander. Just take the door liner off and measure them is the easiest way.

2014 Mitsubishi Outlander - Front Door Split Speaker System (Australian Variant)

Hi guys, does anyone know where the front split speaker system crossover is located for a 2014 Outlander? Is there even a crossover? This model has a tweeter and speaker. It's not the Rockford model.

Thank you
