Question

Can anybody tell me the speaker size in the front door for a WRX? Which tweeters are easy to fit into existing space?

weird size is the correct answer.

you can squeeze in a 6.5" speaker, but its the depth that is the deciding point since theres not much room.

any tweeter will fit behind the grille..you'll have to make up a little mount for it anyway..

Jl Audio VR 600 go straight in and the depth is fine if you have difficulties obtaining these drop me an email and I shall get a price for you.

Thumbs up

I installed Kenwood 13cm components in the front door, and glued the tweeter to the door frame behind the hole. The 13cm cone fits in the existing plastic mounting, and replaces the existing speaker perfectly.(I like things which make life easy). 16.5 inch fit OK if you make a collar out of MDF.

Gazzer,

That's gotta be one hell of an MDF collar to squeeze a speaker 10.5" bigger than OE into the same hole!!! :-)

Alternatively, the JLB 602s go straight in, but unless you're running some subs they'll be too bass-shy for normal use (IMHO).

Cheers,

Pat.
