if you speak to your local ice dealer,and ask them to get you some corsa speaker pockets(made by autoleads) for the front doors,then any 5.25"speakers will fit lovely without any body mods needed,i have alpine speakers in mine and the sound top notch,the speakers came with tweeters and x-overs so i replaced the o.e tweeters with the alpine ones,all in all it cost me £90 to upgrade the fronts and alpine 10cm speakers in the rear were £30

focal polyglass slim 6.5" will fit without spacers - disconnect the rears

virgin

'That sounds great mate, but i cant find them

just assume i dont know about stereos and speakers

and why disconnect the rears ?

virgin

Please

can anyone suggest a speakers that fit the 04 wrx
without having to do the following.........

no cutting (this includes made up mdf spacers)
no drilling (this includes exteneded screws for spacers and mucking around to find longer screws)

speakers i dont have to import

tweaters that fit fit exactly in the same place as the old ones
no mdf, no glue , no paper mashay

any one any clues ?

virgin

oh

corsa speaker pockets will not do the job , as apparently you need mdf again

try some Kenwood Dual Mags? they are slim in desigen and not too expensive as i recall. not sure if you need 5.25 or 6.5 inch mind, i own a classic preza

virgin

cheers

but is there anyone that has fitted upgraded speakers ?

patrolman

hi virgin
i gave up looking for speaker upgrade took the car for an estimate on door speakers any thing from 250 up
because the door space is limited you can only fit shallow speakers without any mods and doors need sound profing more exspence and weight
so i fitted a 12inch sub in the boot with a 250 watt amp keeping the door speakers as standerd
what a difference dont bother with changing door speakers just fit a sub

virgin

thanks mate, i have a sub and amp , but didnt mind chucking 100 pound at the fronts to improve the sound stage

When fitting front door speakers, also fit some protection to stop your speakers from getting ruined by the excessive amount of water, that falls into the doors!!

yes mate
the alpines i have are 5.25"components they are 200w speakers but couldnt tell ya which model,they come with x-overs and tweeters in a set and sound top notch for £70 odd quid

try doing a search for bass junkies or cel-direct on the net,both of these companies stock them
