Impreza TS speaker upgrade

[Craig]

I just got an 04 Impreza TS wagon last week and was thinking about adding
tweeters. I thought while I had the door panels off I might install the
upgraded speakers but wondered if the upgraded speakers were significantly
better than the stock speakers.

Anybody know if the change from stock speakers to the Subaru upgraded
speakers is worth it?


Thanks,

Hi,
Tweeter? I'd rather replace the speaker with better ones first.
Makes big difference. Go buy a set from the 'net. I put a pair of
infinity ref. in my daughter's and it's worth it. Subaru does not
make speakers.

You can get FAR better speakers at any car stereo or electronics store for way
less than the Subaru ones. Even some $50/pr Kenwood/Pioneer/Blaupunkt/JBL or
whatever will be much better. Get 6.5" ones for the front doors, and be
prepared to spend a little time (an hour or so) fabricating some "spacers" out
of 1/2" or 3/4" plywood or MDF to adapt the speakers to the slightly smaller
holes Subaru uses. Or you can get custom made spacers/adapters made out of
plastic if you wish.

Worth is highly subjective. I could have shopped around when I got my '03 TS
Wagon but I opted to get the speaker upgrades (tweeters, door speakers and
sub) as well as the 6-disc in dash changer. I am quite happy with how it
turned out and since it was installed when I purchased the car it's covered
under the Subaru warranty.

I went to subaruparts.com and got the installation instructions to
replace the standard speakers in my '03 Baja. Then I went to
Crutchfield's to find out what was good and fit my vehicle. Then I
bought the speakers on eBay at a really good savings. If you want to
save a little frustration, you can buy the speakers from Crutchfield's
and they'll include all the mounting hardware you need including
wiring adapters.
