How to Change Mirage Car Speakers
The subcompact Mitsubishi Mirage was a staple of the Mitsubishi lineup in the United States from its first introduction until it was discontinued in 2003. Mitsubishi Mirages were equipped with factory sound systems, but an audio enthusiast can replace the original speakers with better quality aftermarket models. Removal of the factory speakers is the necessary first step in this process.
