Rears 5.25"

Whatever you buy you'll probably need to buy or make some of these for the front

 

I spotted this on ebay Don for the 5.25 fronts. do you need any for the 6.5" rears?

Budget?

 

cheap. I only need something that works and doesn't blow out when I have radio 2 on lol

lol
I've ordered some speakers from Car Audio Centre.

£76 delivered.
they were on sale.

fronts 6"

5" rears

Cancel the order. Scrap the rear speakers and put all the money towards just front speakers.

 

that bad?

 

It's not the speakers, it's the position. Having speakers behind ruins the sound stage and just adds volume. You wouldn't have speakers behind you on you home hi-fi unless you had some surround sound set up. Just get the best front speakers you can afford and maybe add a sub at a later date.

 

There are some nice Alpine / Pioneer speakers on that website for the same price.

 

They'll be fine for what I need.
Just looking to have working speakers as the ones in there now must be ripped.

I spoke to the guy there on the phone and he'd had them in his Imprza for 8 years before he upgraded and was impressed with how they were. I asked if he'd recommend anything else about the same money but said no, for that money they were more than enough for what I need.

I mentioned about the sub in the boot that's now not working and he said with the size/type of car a underseat sub would be wasted on it.. and I don't want a boot full of subs again.. that was so me 20yrs ago lol


Just need to work out how to do Don's MDF adaptors lol

 

Thickness determined by how much you want the magnet to miss the window glass

 

And how much room you have between the door and card....

I'd advise against using MDF in doors. Even if you paint them they still absorb water and deform. Eventually they will fall apart. A plastic composite like HDPE or acrylic is best. If you want to be really cheap, buy a couple of plastic kitchen chopping boards and make them from those.

 

Hi there I’m also in Tetbury, looking to do same to my Forester JDM 2007...do you know which adapters fit at all?

cheers

Depends on the speakers. You'll almost certainly need to make your own adaptors though.

 

Hi I made some spacers for mine and bought some pre made ones as well. I did a write up on the forester fb page...

You could fit an 8" sub in std. Location possibly a 10" with a bit of work.

The stock one is a 6x9 and not very good anyway
