The door openings of vehicles with a 9 speaker system is blocked by using a sheet metal cover
and a 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.
RockfordFosgate.comThe sub enclosure can fit a 10" sub with a depth of 11cm deep (4 5/16") if you cut out the rear sub mount inside the enclosure and patch it closed you can get an additional 1 1/4" of depth
Note: The amp uses a digital data signal to turn on, not a typical electrical remote lead.
Why Mitsubishi claims that the RF System has 9 speakers?The full range speakers on the rear has a tweeter in it (2-way); therefore Mitsubishi considered that as speaker as well.
