2011-2022 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport 1st Gen — subwoofer box fitment

What we researched for this specific generation: where an enclosure actually fits, what the factory speakers are, how the factory audio is wired, and which real builds and commercial products exist for it. Confidence badges say how well each figure is sourced — this is research, not manufacturer spec.

Body styles covered: 4-Door Subcompact Crossover

Where a box actually fits

These are researched envelopes, not a guarantee. Measure your own vehicle — the numbers here tell you what to expect, not what you have.

Standard Solid

Locationrear passenger-side hatch area, factory sub location
Outer bounding boxNo independently measured raw cavity envelope found — the factory Rockford Fosgate 10" box is the best real reference point, and is itself usable as a mold for a larger custom build per the real builder plan referenced above.
Known obstructionsNone specifically documented beyond the factory box's own footprint.

Starting points

Suggested configurations for this vehicle, not prescriptions. Run the numbers in the Box Builder before you buy anything.

Door speaker fitment

Sizes and depths below are what research turned up for this generation. Confirm against your own vehicle before cutting or ordering — trim levels vary.

Front doors Unconfirmed

Factory speaker sizenot independently confirmed by exact woofer size
Known obstructionsSail-panel cover has a small plastic retaining lock at the back that must be released before the panel can be lifted off to access the tweeter.
Adapter bracket neededunconfirmed
TweeterSAIL-PANEL mounted (upper corner of the front door) — real, confirmed via a dedicated OEM Rockford Fosgate speaker spec thread, matching the same sail-panel convention independently confirmed on the Outlander (both generations). Accessed by releasing a plastic retaining lock and lifting the pillar/sail-panel cover.
Midrangen/a — 2-way component set (woofer + sail-panel tweeter), no separate midrange confirmed

Rear doors Unconfirmed

Factory speaker sizenot independently confirmed by exact size
Known obstructionsNone specifically documented
Adapter bracket neededunconfirmed
Tweetern/a — tweeter is sail-panel mounted, front only

Factory audio integration

Factory amp / premium audioRockford Fosgate-branded factory premium system (available trims): confirmed single 10" DVC (dual voice coil) subwoofer in a custom-molded factory box at the rear passenger-side hatch. Exact door speaker/amp specs beyond the subwoofer were not found.
Adding subs without a head-unit swapConfirmed straightforward via the real factory-box-as-mold upgrade path, which taps existing factory wiring rather than requiring a head-unit swap.
Head unitNo replacement needed

Mounting locations

Standard Solid

Real, specific, factory-confirmed finding: the stock/OEM system already includes a single 10" Rockford Fosgate driver in a custom-fitted factory box located at the rear passenger-side hatch area — this is a genuinely already-substantial factory subwoofer, not an empty trunk. The OEM replacement enclosure is a real, priced part (~$530) per forum discussion, confirming this is a distinct, purchasable factory component. A real builder plan (mitsubishiforum.com) describes using the factory box itself as a MOLD to build a larger custom fiberglass enclosure for a 12" driver in the SAME factory location — a genuinely clever, low-risk upgrade path that preserves the known-good factory fitment while sizing up.

Before you cut anything

Measure your own vehicle. Trim levels, factory subwoofer options, and mid-generation changes all move these numbers, and a box cut to a researched figure that does not match your truck is wasted wood. Where a badge reads Unconfirmed, treat the value as a starting point for your own measurement, not as an answer.
