get some adaptor plates off ebay mate (£9)
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SUBARU-IMP...item43a1c6f215

then that will come with connectors for the impreza loom, also allow you to run 5.25(13cm) speakers up front, if you stick to a decent coaxel speaker, good mid range like a vibe sek series, alpine, or focals if ur pocket can afford it.
heres a kit with kenwood speakers but tbh it will be cheaper to buy seperate

or even better would be component speakers, were the mid range speaker sits in the door and the tweeter (higher frequency) you can mount any were realy, common places are the wing mirror inner covers on the doors,

they will give you a wider sound inside the car,

with regards to the rears you can run 6.5 spekers on the rear shelf, or i have made a shelf with 6x9 speakers in which make a massive difference to the sound in the car.

hope that helps!

I'm buying some speaker adapters for the fronts from the USA which allows a 16.5cm speaker up front which will provide better quality as well

this is true, but i found the best upgrade to do is rear shelf speakers, my blobeye had focal componants all round, but as soon as i put some 6x9s in the sound quality was enhanced 10 fold

Not sure if they fit classics, but 93 Corsa adapters can be made to fit new age cars with only minor modifications. These will allow you to fit 17cm speakers.

Mine has a Sony headunit, which I really like.

For speakers, I did what YOU should do and LISTENED to a few, rather than take recommendations off anywhere. The reason for this is that we all hear slightly differently, and one man's great sounds are another man's noise

I went to a large Halfords, took my youngest, and he operated, while I turned my back and really LISTENED. We started with fronts, then did rears.

What I chose, blind, were Sony 3-way coaxials for the front and Sony 3-way 9x6 coaxials at the rear. Some would say a starnge choice, but I LIKED the sound!

The fronts are 17cm, (or maybe 165mm), and sit on home made mdf spacers, 18mm iirc. I used the original speaker mount and the template that came with the Sony speakers to draw the shape and cut it out with a jigsaw, painting it thickly with two coats of water based undercoat against damp. it's still Ok, and is invisible when the door panel is on.

The rears are again on home made mdf spacers. These are lozenge shaped, to my own design, but with the speaker hole again marked using the Sony template, and again cut out with a jigsaw.
Because they fit on TOP of the parcel shelf, the spacers were covered with a proper cloth that matches the rear shelf, bought from an ICE dealer.
They are through bolted: grille, speaker, spacer, back shelf using M4 x40mm stainless cap screws, washers and bolts, with their polished caps showing, just to finish it all off.

I am pleased with it and the only problem so far has been when one of the leads fell off the n/s front door speaker terminal. It wasn't on tight enough: my bad.

Since I prefer my music from the front, I haved faded the rears, and found I lost some bass, (well dur), so I've now got an Alpine under-seat active sub. It NEARLY fits under the front passenger seat! Sticks out into the rear footwell, but is easily removable since it's only on with Velcro.

I'll try and get one tomorrow, difficult to do through the screen, and cramped nside, but I'll see what I can do.
I assume you want to see the tops, what about the underside?

As above, I used the same corsa adapters in classic
They gave an additional angle to the 17 speakers

I used alpine type-r components.

I used corsa adapters to upgrade my small 13s to bigger 16.5s in the front doors! You have to reline the holes in the adapters to fit! But well worth it

Hi guys I bought the larger speakers for the front doors and was going to get the adapters from the USA eBay guy but they have stopped retailing them at the moment,

These corsa adapters will try work and what needs to be done?

I recently bought some 3 way FLi Interceptor speakers for my classic c.£20 and they are pretty damn good running off my cheap Kenwood HU. You can spend a lot of cash for crap in the realms of speakers, so if you're on a budget these are recommended for good bass and clarity
