99 Legacy - Replacing components and tweeters.

[Guest Eastwolf]

Hi,

I am looking to buy some middle of the range component speakers but want to ensure that the tweeters will fit in the existing housing (where the factory ones are located).

1) Can this be done?

2) If yes, please recommend brand and model.

Saw some Infinity components $250 which had small tweeters, although the salesman wasn't entirely sure if the process would work.

Cheers,

Warren

do you still have the factory macintosh headunit? i have been told it has crossovers built in, so if you are replacing it you will also need to add your own crossovers. haven't looked into it myself, as i haven't replaced it yet.

i would imagine it could be done without too much difficulty. the trick would be finding components the same size as the factory ones... i haven't replaced any of the stereo goodies in mine yet, so don't have any recommendations for you.

if all else fails, have a look at the factory bits and ask a car audio shop if they have anything that is the same size.

Don't mean to be harsh, but thanks for stating the obvious~!

Mostly factory, prev owner has replaced head unit with an MP3/CD single DIN.

Whatever components I buy, they will come with cross overs I am sure for $250 a pair.

fair enough, was pretty obvious. i guess my point was that subaru obviously found the speakers to put in, so some are made in that size. just pull them out and have a look.
