Default 6x9 speakers in a WRX v7?

Hi guys,
I currently have a WRX v7 and as you probably know that there is no space to install them in the car. I was wondering what sort of wiring I would need to do because I am clueless...I have only just swapped the 6" components but never installed 6x9s from scratch in a scooby

just put them under the rear steel shelf, poss make a MDF adaptor to get the correct shape. also, make sure you have a good seal around them, i makes better bass

if you connect wires to the 6x9's and take them under the rear seat, down the centre console to the back of the stereo. have a look at the wiring diagram and cut the wires that feed the rear door speakers and join the 6x9's onto these outputs

I just replaced the OE speakers in the rear with a set of Kenwood and the right door adapter sounds fine, as long as I don't set the exhaust too LOUD!!

Don't bother, leave the 6 by 9s to the Corsa chav brigade. why fire the speakers up at the rear screen, all you will get is off phase reflected sound which is rubbish. Get good quality 6.5 components in the front (preferably amped) and if you feel you need it a 10 or 12' sub.

I'd agree with changing the front speakers first.

I've got a 15 in a massive box in mine, but people on here just take the **** about it. But I don't care what anyone else thinks

I already have 6" Soundstream components and tweeters with crossovers but the problem is that when someone sits in the back seat they cant hear anything except the bass. I thought I would fix that.
