Hi Guys - any ideas on which manufacturers make replacement speakers to drop into the standard apertures on a MY02 5 door?

Ideally, I'd like to upgrade the standard 'cardboard' units for something decent, but don't want to be too obvious.

Cheers, Harry.

 

I'd heard that JBL made some custom fit replacements. Anyone had any experience with these?

Cheers, HB.

 

If they are the same size as the MY01 then I had some Kenwood ones fitted a few weeks ago.

Cheers Mate - do you have the model number? Are they any better, and what's the approximate price?

Thanx - Harry.

 

Details are at home so i'll post them l8r.

They are Kenwood KFC 1728C's

Harry, I've put Blaupunkt into front and rear of mine using the original holes / mounting, very discreet

 

Cheers Guys - will have a look at their web site.

 

Hi Elgordano, mail me the details at harry@pinkelephantpr.com if you can Mate.

Cheers, HB.

 

I fitted a set of Infinity 605cs into a 2002 Impreza today. Sounded nice.

 

Don't know 'em Mate - bit a a novice on the ICE front..... Do they fit the standard door apertures?

 

No they don't. bit of a depth problem. Your'll have to make up a couple of 12mm MDF baffles (rings) to fit between the bass driver and the door.
I fitted the x-overs inside the car to keep them dry and out of the way of the window and window mech.
Running new cables for the bass driver and tweeter from inside the car into the door is a bit of a pig.

 

So, Audio G Man - What speakers can I get that will be adirect 'drop in' replacement for the originals in the MY02 WRX 5 door? I don't want to go down the 'hacking it about' route.....

Cheers, HB.

Try going to the Infinity site at
http://www.infinitysystems.com/caraudio/products.asp

from there you can enter the car details and it tells you what speakers are 'drop In'.

Hope this helps.

I don't know of any speakers that will drop straight in. sorry
No hacking involved in fitting the infinity 605cs, just the drilling of 4 new mounting holes.

 

Thanks again, Guys.

 

What did you fit?

 

Harry Boy

So what speakers have you gone for then?

If you have gone down the Infinity route, I wouldn't mind meeting up with you and having a listen. I am looking at changing the whole lot in my car, and the Infinity ones seem well rated on here.

Cheers mate

Hi Simon,

Gotta be honest, I've got nowhere on this - purely because of work commitments. When I've a bit of spare time, I'll have a serious go and let you know the outcome. Could be worth meeting up anyway to compare notes. Incidentally, I see our dealers are moving this week.

Cheers, Harry.

 

This week is it, didn't know it was this soon.....

Should be a good run in to the new premises, some great scoob roads over Emley...

Will do, meet up soon is a good idea...

Cheers

Simon

 

Mind how you go on the Emley roads, Mate. I'm up there cycling most evenings, now we can see again at night.... ;0) Usually past the Mast etc - about 12 or so miles round trip.

Catch you soon - Harry.

 

Rather you than me.... Much prefer the driving bit, but then I am lazy ****...

Simon

 

Harry Boy, why don't u ask Max...

 

Hi Simon - the exercise bit is just a desperate attempt to shoehorn my lardy frame into the WRX bucket seats.

SP - good idea! I actually never thought of that!
