    New Blood Here

    I wanted to introduce myself here. I replaced my 1991 Geo Metro with a Mirage back in 2015 and love the Mirage. In fact I loved the car so much the wife and I have bought 3 in the last 3 years. In fact I like it so much I have started working at a Mitsubishi dealership (moving over from a Ford dealership) as a service adviser.

    About the only complaint I have about the car is the stock stereo is crap. I did a Kicker sub with Kicker coaxial speakers in the doors. Much better sounding now! The wife has the 2017 Mirage with the Rockford Fosgate system in it and its not too bad, not near as good as mine but she likes it.

    I have read alot of posts here and thought it was time I joined the group. So here I am.

    Welcome, fellow Washingtonian! My Mirage replaced a '97 Metro...also in 2015. Lots of ex-Metro people here.

    Welcome, Tony! Glad you signed up.

    If this car had chronic problems, I'd say prepare to be peppered with questions. But considering how reliable most members are finding them, I think you're safe.

    (Aside from the rear alignment issue, of course.)

    Nice! Thanks for the pictures. When you are able, please post some pictures & details of the door speakers. Here's why - I advocate that the cheapest and easiest upgrade to the Mirage audio system would be better quality speakers, in that would give the quickest and most cost-effective improvement. Debatable, I know...

    Your install looks like fun. why Kicker? Is it a brand you are familiar with, components that were left over from a previous install, you prefer the brand??

    Again, thanks for the pictures. You might want to start a new new thread that discusses your audio install.
