The Dude Abides Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 There has been some talk about haveing dificulty putting in bigger speakers in the doors of ea82s but i made a discovery. I picked up a set of 4 aftermarket subaru speakers for a subaru wrx for 20 bucks. size 6 and half. After having some dificulty putting them in gate i thought id atleast pull the door pannel off of the front to get ready to rewire. When low and behold i look and see that the factory wire that came with the 2003 subaru matched the one on my 88 subaru. I didnt need to rewire afterall i just hooked up the new wire to the old slip on the door. Then i dismounted the old 61/2 speaker from the mount and mounted the new one on. With a little trimming on the plastic in the door it fit perfectly. Stock mount and no one knows its there. I can always take it apart and take pictures of you folks would like to see. Now granted these arent super power speakers but there a excelent upgrade if youve got junk stock ones and believe me mine were junk.

Loyale 2.7 Turbo Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 Great Job! I Mounted 6½" Speakers in the Front Doors of Both my Wagons, but Not in the Door... I Mounted `em in the Door`s Panel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virrdog Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 6.5" fit just fine into the front doors of an EA82 wagon. I don't think I even did any cutting. They fit behind the stock cloth grill. I just had to drill new mounting holes. I did this for some old-school Infinity Kappa's with giant silk-dome tweeters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dude Abides Posted May 9, 2008 Author Share Posted May 9, 2008 theres an aftermarket kit you can pick up for these that will cover the area. Try Crutchfield. Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
