Bob Weir Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 I'd like to install better speakers. I need to know where all the clips, screws etc are located and the correct procedure, twist, push here, pull there, so I don't damage the door panels. I've had my bad experiences (broken clips etc) with other cars. Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with the model year changes, so I don't know if instructions are already posted. Thanks Bob PS What years have the same body style as my 2001 Legacy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nipper Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Subarus are giant legos, they dont change much Here is how it works in a 97/98. You should have 2 screws in the arm rest and one at the door release. Remove the trim panel behind the outside mirror inside the door, it pops off. Start at the bottom of the door with a long screwdriver. there is usually one button style clip in the corner, and work your way around. Pop one at a time. Everything is plastic so they are fairly robust. Lift the panel off the door. Disconnect all harnesses at this point. Installation is the reverse. Hope that helps. nipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subyguy522 Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 I believe that all 2000-2004 legacy models are the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brus brother Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 If you go to your local Subie dealer Parts Department, they can print out a blow up of the door panel parts page which will show you where all of the parts, clips and doodads are located.
