Help with 06 WRX Hawk door speakers
Hey
My car came with an aftermarket Pioneer MVH-X560BT head unit but standard door speakers. I'm looking to upgrade all 4 door speakers or atleast the front left/right door speakers to something good. Looking to spend between £50-£80ish but not sure what size speakers I need. I want some speakers that will fit straight into the gap left by removing the standard speakers. I don't wanna mess about with brackets or drilling onto wood etc, looking for a direct fit. I want a nice powerful sound powered by the deck, not looking to add an amplifier etc, just want to know what the best for speakers I can get for the money. Cheers |
You will need adapters to get a big enough speaker in the door. You can look at this kit as a starting point:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Subaru-Imp...z9g4oBbP3oyN2Q If you are after a really strong sound you should consider a sub-woofer. Everything is pretty much covered in the sticky in the forum. |
As above, you will have to use spacers.
To get better sound you will to an extent need bigger magnets and a deeper cone. there just is not enough space to the window mechanism with out them. Spacers go in with out any change to the door cards Think mine are off a Vauxhall Corsa from Halfords.. Again as above check the sticky thread all in there. |
I upgraded all of mine to Hertz in my hawk and they made a massive difference. Really good sound, but not that cheap unless you can find some second hand.

Thank you very much guys, really appreciate that.
I think I'll buy a pair just for the fronts and may upgrade the rears later on. Any brands in particular to shortlist? How do I know which speakers will emit a dynamic and powerful soundstage? I want some nice bassy speakers (without going down the amp+sub route), buying second hand will probably be my best bet. |
In my experience you'll never get the full spectrum including bass fron just door speakers (no matter which you go for). I ended up still going down the amp and sub route and it made a massive overall effect.

I changed my fronts last year with a pair of Kicker 2 way speakers with the autoload adapters which included the wiring harness adapters as well. Easy fit, better sound quality but not much bass.
Changing the rears looks to be a massive pain as adapters are not available here. I believe you can get them from the states though. I have been considering an underseat low profile sub to add some base as my pioneer head unit has got a decent amp built in. |
