We study the Cauchy problem for systems of quasilinear wave equations with multiple propagation speeds in four space dimensions. The nonlinear term in this problem may explicitly depends on the unknown function itself. By some new $L^{\infty}_{t}L^2_{x}$ estimates of the unknown function, combining with some Klainerman--Sideris type weighted estimates, we get the sharp lower bound of lifespan $T_{\varepsilon}\geq \exp{(\frac{c}{\varepsilon^2})}$ for the quasilinear system.

Keywords: multiple speeds, Quasilinear wave equations, lifespan..
