Hi,

Just been to my local ICE shop and they reckon that the standard speakers aren't that bad. They recommend either fitting an amp or changing the head unit itself as its only 10W.

I went in to but some Infinity 505cs' so I guess they lost a sale!

Anybody care to comment?

Can anyone tell me what speakers they would recommend for a direct replacement in this car.

Have fairly open budget...what will give me good quality.

Many thanks

Mark

Just saw "direct replacement"
These won't just drop straight in

Question

Me also, what speaker has everyone else put in there Sti Uk's?. I really want to just buy some speakers and then put them in, rather than taking the door panels off and measuring them first.

Any advise would be great!!

Gareth.

According to infinity's home page, direct replacement size is 130mm, front and back. I have a pair of these I was going to use in the rear doors, i'll try them in the front...

Infinity Reference 605cs' dropped straight into my MY98, using the plastic spacer ring.

Will these also drop into the new shape?

Cool

i've got a type UK, i changed my original speakers for Blaupunkt
XL 217.1 120W component speakers - passive crossover front 165mm

CL 213.1 60W 130mm rear

both are coaxial type, the fronts have an additional tweeter, you will need to recover the mounting bracket from the original tweeter

Massive increase in quality, and they are a straight swap
