i have a kenwood double in me motor crackin juke box they are

just looked at greigys link same as that one

cheers lads, so you think it is to good to be true, am still tempted, can always send it back if not wots advertised.

Same kenwood on amazon for £129.99

was lookin at fli speakers today, are they ok as upgrade/

Yer for the price vibe make them i got the 2 fronts 2rears and 2 tweeters for round about 80£ from halfords you have to order the tweeters in tho

eye a would say so that is very cheap as for speakers personally would go for infinity depends on weather ur goin to put them through an amplifier or not

Anything is an improvement over the standard speakers, they are only there to fill the holes, and they only just manage that .

Most new HU will give you 50W per channel, which will give you an impressive sound versus the standard kit. But if you can do it all in one go, try to pick up a basic amp and spend money on decent speakers and interconnects, it really is worth the money.

See below for some non bank breaking options that took me all of 30 seconds to find :

Cheers Keith, decided to go for the Kenwood as sems to come highly recommended,
Are the door speakers 6.5inch?
Does anyone know the CODE for the Subaru to Kenwood adaptor I will need, so I can get it ordered ready for santa, thank you`s.

Fronts are indeed 6.5". The OEM speakers are as thin as After Eight mints, so you need to knock up some spacers to fit the aftermarket ones. It's very easy, you'll need a jigsaw and some 10-12mm mdf. Alternatively you can buy plastic spacers, loads on fleabay, I just found making my own more satisfying.

As for adapters they are all standard with ISO plugs specific for Subaru to any aftermarket brand, kenwood/jvc/panasonic etc.

For example.

Daz, I'm just thinking I may have the adapter lead from my Blob lying around. I dropped the OEM head unit back in just before I traded the car but cant remember if the adapter was in place or not. I cant promise anything, but let me have a look in the garage tonight and I might be able to save you a few quid.

ISO adaptors are much cheaper on eBay

Quoted £16.99 in Halfords and £3 odd on eBay.

Once again thanx Keith, but already ordered it, only £5, cheers tho.

Hahaha, I only ever shop in Halfords if I need something in the next 30 minutes. Otherwise online FTW.
