Default Speaker Spacers

Hi,

Do you have to fit speaker spacers to 55 reg STI when upgrading speakers.

Can you recommend speakers and where to get them?

Cheers

I also have a 55 STI and fitted Infinity speakers using spacers/adaptors from IA Performance - Automotive Service & Performance Parts - IA Performance in the States.

i fitted Focal 165 K2P omponents in my MY05 Spec C and made my own spacers from 18mm MDF quite a bit cheaper than buying from Audio centres and very easy to make

I bought the spacers from autoleads and they were rubbish, go for mdf, i am useless at diy and managed it. I reckon they secure the speakers better and should therefore sound better.

Depends how much you want to spend. Focal 165vrs are really nice (£220) as are the new genesis studio's (£1000)
