stereo question
how come I see some Evo7s with 2 din slots and some with 1? is this the difference between the RSII, GSR etc? also, to those that have Evo7s - how are the front doors for speaker install? is there enough space for nice components?

I thought they were all 1 din unless you got the kit to relocate the HVAC controls to below. Also I belive thier 6and 3/4 inch in front doors and rear deck as well.
my 2 cents |
The stock is 1 din for all EVO7 exported out of Japan. I think only Japanese EVO7 GSR models have the 2-din version or it must probably be the Lancer Cedia. :dunno:
For the front door, I installed a FOCAL Polykevlar component with 5-3/8 mid bass. I just don't know if the 6-1/2 will fit. The only thing to check is that the magnet of the speaker might hit the glass when the windows are put down, but for the front, 6-1/2 is ok.:) |
I apologize if this has been mentioned before as I have failed to get a specific search result. Anyone know if US Evo 8 owners can order the HVAC controls for the bottom empty slot so to free up space for a 2 din unit or for better placement of the guages as shown in pic below? I think the guages would be easier to read when placed in such a setup above the headunit. The US spec AC controls are somewhat getting in the way for such a setup and I wish to stay away from the A-pillar guages.

krms,
I'm actually looking to do the exact same thing as you. My best guess is that we hope for somebody to make a rearrangement kit, unless there's some way to do it yourself, but I'd rather not unless I really had to. Don't trust myself with the aesthetics :lol: |
as far as I have heard they use 6.5 in the rear deck and doors. You shouldnt have much of a problem getting the woofers in the doors as the aftermarket speakers shouldnt be that much deeper than the factory. I already have ripped the boston acoustic pro's out of my jetta in anticipation for the install to the EVO when I get it. btw, also took out about 1900 watts of all JL Audio amps and a couple of 12w7's that will be nestled into a carbon fiber enclosure once I find someone to build it!!! Whats the fun in having this bad of a car without a banging system. Yes I know how much this will slow me down but all the more reason to extract as much horsepower as I can from the EVO. you know to make up for all the extra weight...

The double din setup can be ordered from Mitsubishi. It is a dealer option. I'm planning on getting it along with a Raliart carbon trin piece !! {thumbup}

The speaker size is 6 3/4 or 6 1/2 DIN sized all around. I used Alpine SPS-1729S they fit well all around. In the front this speakers depth clears but it is close.
The dual DIN seems to be a Japanese dealer installed option. I have only seen it used on climate controlled cars but not the manual A/C of the US cars. I would love to see a kit released for the USDM Evos. Japanese installation instructions Translate here |
