Here is how to install front and rear stereo speakers on a Subaru Impreza car, replacing the original factory Subaru speakers. Doorr panel removal on a Subaru Impreza car is easy if you follow the simple instructions in this video. You just need to remove one screw, and then everything else including the car door panel pops loose. To install the door panel on a Subaru Impreza, just pop it back into place and screw in one screw. Putting the speakers in a Subaru Impreza is easy if you have the right connectors and adapters. I replaced the original car stereo speakers with 2 way Speakers for better higher frequency sound.
Here's where you can get a Subaru repair manual:

thanks for the demo. only thing to make those RF sound better would be to apply some acoustic sponge pad behind the speakers to defract sound waves and apply sound deadening to the doors. you get better mid bass response. thanks for sharing mate.

Used the same speakers in my 07 OBS, just replaced the stock speakers and used the original rings, much easier. Same in the front. It was 4' in back doors and 6 1/2" in front.

I really like the way they sound. My son thinks they could use more bass, but I like that they fit into the stock speaker holes.

This is a sincere question not a rib: Do you realize that the adhesive in duct tape is an acid and that it will run at higher temperatures? Perhaps gorrila tape is of higher quality but I have seen Duct tape eat its way through plastic on several occasions.

@hoohoohoblin 8 жыл бұрын

Thanks. I haven't seen duct tape glue liquify and run before. I don't think it gets hot enough to do that where I live. I've heard of other people using it for this, and I don't think there are problems with it.

@sethferalin6611 8 жыл бұрын

thoughts on what else to fill the gap with?

@paulking2039 8 жыл бұрын

Make a small / thin plywood or MDF baffle for the speakers to sit in / or on etc. Then fill any small holes with expanding foam, before the speakers are in, or perhaps cut the dynamat to shape, or overlapping a portion of the door and then sit the baffles over the top. Sound from the front, must not be able to get to the back and visa/versa, otherwise you will lose the bass. Shouldn't take more than a few hrs to fit. Tape will lose the power handling.

what is the exact size of the front and rear speakers? and also how wide are the new ones?

@hoohoohoblin 7 жыл бұрын

They are Rockford Fosgates. I got them from Crutchfield, who can take the make and model of your car and tell you what size speakers fit. In the case of the Impreza, I think I could have fit bigger speakers in there, but they didn't recommend any. I don't remember the exact model number.

They are pretty good. They sound good as loud as I like to listen to them but if you turn them up too loud they get kind of fuzzy. They are the cheapest speakers Rockford Fosgate mix, and they say the next level up speakers sound better. I am happy with them and they are good enough for me.
