Hi

I have just installed a new head unit, Focal 165A speakers and a Parrott bluetooth car kit.

I was amazed at how easy the installs was after reading chiark.com. The head unit was ridiculously easy- the dash comes apart like meccano.
The speakers took a little more time- I used Vauxhall Vectra spacers and the Focals slipped in no problem. It would have been even easier if I hadn't dynamatted the doors.
The car kit took about an hour. It connects via bluetooth to any make of phone and uses voice recognition as well as a small remote. It was only £100 from amazon.co.uk. I can't recommend it enough.

So, if you are holding off because of your worried about doing the work, don't! If I can do it anyone can.

Cheers

Dave,

Is this in a classic or new shape Impreza?

Interested to find speakers that go in easy.

Vectra spacers do the job eh? Right, I think that's definitely one for the FAQ!

Cheers,

Is 165A the actual model number? I've searched all the usual on-line places - cad, lbca, and can't find that model listed?

I think they are known as 165 but the number on the back says 165A??

Quick update on the vectra spacer- they were 5hite and I ended up making spacers (badly) out of MDF on Monday night. They resonated so much you could hardly hear the music!

I also switched the crossovers on to smooth (there is a switch inside) and they are a lot less tinny than they were.

Cheers
