So today I found a 2001 outback in a junkyard that sells stuff for cheap. I was able to get the alloy wheels (225's) and a ton of other interior options. So my questions are: are the outbacks struts longer to accommodate the larger wheels? will the struts fit a 2001 legacy? second questions is about a set of tweeters in the rear cargo area. I know a lot of subarus are wired for alot of the extra options. Does any one know if the wiring is there in all the legacy and outback models to install these and if not how do you wire these up?

If you dont mind, what color was the interior? We are looking for a driver side door panal.

it was the tan variety... i think i saw the door panel there w no switch... it was already off. I could swoop it for you if you would like.

FWIW, the older OB's struts were longer, and they also used body spacers to get the lift. And I'd bet $ the struts will fit (bolt pattern) esp. for the same year.

 

Have fun!

Separate tweeters are usually wired in with the speakers. But they use a crossover to control which frequencies are delivered to them, and which are delivered to the mid range drivers in the door. If you take the door panel off you should find a box of some sort with all the wiring for that channel probably near the speaker. If not there then it might be in the kick panel. At worst case it's built into the head unit, and you'll have to buy a separate crossover to use it with your system.
