Default Where can i get 24mm spacers for speakers in MY05

I need some spacers in order to fit a set of components but the spacers need to be 24mm thick as the speakers are 77mm deep and i dont want the hassle of windows hitting the magnets so does anyone know where i can get a set from or is it common practice to make your own?

Make your own from 2 x 12mm MDF. Or maybe the Corsa adaptors will be deep enough.

You need to be careful the speakers don't touch the door card with such deep spacers.

You could always ask a friendly ICE place to make them for you
It takes them about 5 minutes..... with the right tools and they usually have tonnes of mdf
I have about 3 pairs but I have to change each year due to water ingress

Aftermarket spacers are available, but not cheap.

I bought mine from the US and it did save A LOT OF HASSLE. I couldn't be bothered with cutting all the MDF and getting the right shape etc. So this is an option.

Full details can be foiund on my site Subaru Impreza CarPC

There is also a downloadable speaker template which you may find of some use.

unless someone wants to make them for me
