Hey Club Sub members,

greetings! :)

As my first post I'd like to ask for some advice...

Just as a preface, I'm great with IT & computers, cars and audio electrical, not so much...

I've recently bought a 2006 Legacy Wagon (B-Sport 2ltr).

Sadly, it came with the factory Kenwood head unit and factory speakers. :(

I bought one of these yesterday and installed it without a hitch: http://www.jonvy.co.nz/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=4447&search=subaru

It works really well. I generally just play music/podcasts from my phone, so it's perfect.

I opened up one of the front doors next to check out the speakers.

They're the horrible looking cardboard factory jobs.

I have a couple of cheapish sets of 6" JVC speakers I've had sitting round for a while I want to install.

I believe I need these: http://www.hyperdrive.co.nz/product/speaker-spacers/706/no905-universal-spacer-6/151234/detail , as the factory speakers have their own attached plastic spacer thingie.

They also have the factory plug that connects to the cabling that goes back to the head unit.

I have a couple of questions:

- are those the correct spacers? They look to be the right size, shape to me. I'm guessing I may need to drill a couple more holes in them to fit the speakers perfectly.

- How do I go about wiring the new speakers in to the plug currently in the vehicle. Does anyone know of a place that sells an adapter?

As you can guess I'm not 100% confident in this, but I do want to learn. And I don't want to pay a car audio place to install when it doesn't appear to be that difficult.

thanks! :)

I used 6.5" all round last time on my 04 bl5 legacy - using 20mm mdf spacers on front doors (looked like the ones in your link just no tabs on the outside)

The factory cardboard speakers are crap.

Hey sknarfm just looking at that bluetooth adapter you got - have got a plantronics K100 visor BT handsfree but this looks a much better solution all round..

What's your take on it a year later?

Also interested in the answer to this. I used a different unit in my BP as I have the McIntosh HU. Mate has an BP outback with the Kenwood HU and I'm trying to find a solution for him that isn't a $250 grom....
