Blobeye Wagon ICE upgrade help
Hi all. Been through a search and read a few threads and I have seen that I can fit some 6.5 inch front speakers using the SAK-3001 Corsa speaker spacers.
What are the options for the rear doors? How do I need to alter the wiring to connect to aftermarket speakers?
Is the standard Kenwood head unit worth keeping?
If it isn't then I'd probably want to fit a small sub too but not sure where to find an Impreza specific housing. Don't really want to lose boot space either, but I guess that can't be helped.
Any recommendations on where to mount amps if I do replace the HU?

It's many years since I upgraded my 02 Wagon, not saying it's perfect but here's what I did.
Headunit is not worth keeping. I replaced it with a single din bluetooth Alpine, and a silver din pocket which then houses an ipod and subwoofer control.
Upgraded the fronts and fitted them by cutting chipboard spacers. Amp under the passenger seat, and a powered sub under the drivers seat.
I did upgrade the rears, but it's really not worth the bother. They are only 4 inch and don't really add anything.
The wiring was a bit of a bitch, good luck!

Going to try this tonight. I read that the rears are 5.25" on the Blob?
