Bought an Outlander 2 weeks ago here in Canada. LS AWD model. Base stereo is average at best. Door speakers are simple 6 3/4 dual cones. Decided to add tweeters in the upper part of the door behind the mirrors. Pulled the triangular covers off and lo and behold - there is factory pre-wiring already there! </P>


Cut off the factory plugs and wired the tweeters as follows: Orange +, Brown -.</P>


The right side has similar wiring.</P>


I attached the tweeters to the back of the covers, snapped the covers back into placeand presto - instant better sound.</P>


With tweeters in the doors,stereo imaging in thevehicle is greatly improved. </P>

thanks for the tip. I have not pulled mine apart but with the way my ls sounds I am sure it does not have them. What brand and size are the speakers? I do not know alot about stereo system. It is truely my greatest weakness when it comes to car knowledges I am not real familar with mitsubishi's kind of bought the car on because the deal was to good to pass up but I am loving every more every day.

 

I'm using a set of Pioneers that I had sitting around. Best thing to do is go to the Crutchfield website and look up tweeters. I had to physically cut some of the plastic surround from the speakers to make sure they fit well behind the factory panel. Or, you could call your Mitsu dealer and ask about the factory tweeters.</P>

Hey Audioquest, was the Outlander you purchased built in Canada. I'm in California and I hope that I'm as fortunate as you are to have pre-wired speaker outlets.

 

Just installed the tweeterson Friday in the Outtie and the sound difference is dramatic..and the install was easy..the only thing is, be careful when replacing the covers, there is a little white holder that the top of the cover snaps into, and if you push too hard, it just gets pushed into the door panel, and you can not snap the cover back in place anymore. I just stuffed some tape in the hole and was able to secure the cover back on. This post was just to let the Outlander owners in the US know that the non-XLS models are pre-wired for tweeters. <IMG src=smileys/smiley2.gif border="0"></P>

 

Briansrt - if you take the lower front door speaker off (pop off the grill with a flat screwdriver, then unscrew the speaker from the door) and reach inside the door - you will be able to reach the little piece that fell into the door!</P>


FYI</P>

Hi,

I would like to install tweeters behind the original tweeter grills of 2003 outlander LS. I tried to pull cover, but I was scared and may break the lock tabs behind the grill. Can some one guide me on how to pull it out(Which side to pull first? I am thinking of 3/4 silk dome tweeters. But I am not sure If we can fit 3/4 inch tweeter in there or not? I know it is already prewired as I can see thru the grill..

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Thanks
Chinna
