are these pockets that also space out the speaker from the glass etc ?

i.e protects speaker from water because its a pocket

and act as a speaker spacer ?

cheers all

virgin

oh

and what speaker depth do i aim for without useing mdf etc ?

i know i need 13cm ,would a 58 mm depth do it ?

Dont suppose anyone knows if the standard wrx 04 unit has a pre-out on it ?

and also the rms rating per channel ?


i was hoping to find out enough facts today to pop out get the bits and fit !

the unit hasn't got a pre-out afaik (atleast my 03 didn't and I believe it's the same headunit).

Seriously though, the head unit is *SH*T*, you *need* to change it

virgin

was thinking of changing it, but wanted a head unit and a graffic unit to fill the gap, plus i am sad and want the lights not a blanking plate

did see some real nice double dins on some US web sites at a good price

but figured on just front speaker up-grades for now

The original speakers have a depth of 38mm so if your replacements are deeper than that (most are) you will need a corsa spacer or an MDF collar.

U.S. head units will not have RDS radio and the frequency spacing will prevent you from receiving some UK stations. U.S. radios use .2KHz steps e.g. 100.0 100.2 100.4 so you will not be able to get UK stations that end in .1, .3, .5 etc.

Garycat is correct ..... no RDS on USA units ..got 2 head units in my limo and both radios are pants, cd works ok though.
Lots of cheap head units on ebay but be carefull as some are yank units.
I was like you and did not want to change the head unit but in the end i did and it makes a hell of a differance

virgin

so the corsa speaker pocket are also spacers then ? (because of +38 ) ?
