"Depth for the front OEM mids is 2." Anything beyond 2" will need an additional spacer ring."

 

 

^So just how big can the spacer ring be? ...a.k.a. so how much room in between the door panel & the door card. I don't want the surround from my speaker rubbing on the door card when I put it back on.

 

 

As far as adding an external amplifier for your SUBWOOFER. -Instead of purchasing a LOC, why not just tap into the OEM Subwoofer harness? ...assuming your aftermarket external amplifier has high level inputs.

 

Cleansweep alternatives: Rockford Fosgate 3Sixty .1 & .2. -They may have a .3 now. Audison Bitone. JBL MS-8. Alpine H650 & H660. Audiocontrol has a few. Mini DSP carries the "Mini's" -both balanced & unbalanced versions. Zapco has one. ...there should be a few more I'm forgetting about.

Great write up on all the FAQs. I just read through the whole thread. Very helpful. Im new here and I have a 05 legacy 2.5gt. I too hope to do a few mods. I really want to do the factory swap out w/ the jdm kit. The factory radio just ate all my CDs that where in there. Thanks for all the info and I plan to keep searching for all great mods and upgrades you all do. Any info is greatly appreciated.

Most of the speakers mentioned in the OP are obsolete, as the 05 is now 6 years old... most manufacturers do not even make those models anymore.

 

Is there a newer list of models somewhere for door speakers/deck?

 

I went to best buy just to even look around and they were trying to tell me I had 4" speakers in my back door instead of the back deck... which I doubt.

So im looking into adding another OEM Subwoofer under my passenger seat. I have searched and searched with no real definite answer on whether or not this is feasable, or even possible with the power the head unit supplies. Has anyone here done this, or know how this would potentially work out?

Here is a question I can't find an answer for, if I purchase the OEM Navi Bezel (http://fastwrx.com/lenavscbe.html) and install an aftermarket double din headunit up there will I run into any problems with my climate control or anything else? Can I still do the steering wheel controls mod? (http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/install-steering-wheel-radio-controls-26232.html)

 

Thanks in advance!

Should not cause any problems. You might want to look into moving clock to where you ashtray is. Search for 'clock relocation kit'.

 

Can I still do the steering wheel controls mod? (link to trabbic's thread)

 

Yes. You'll want to run the SWC wires directly to a steering wheel interface module (needed by most aftermarket HUs), or straight to the new HU (if it's one of the few that supports direct connection without requiring a module).

Anyone have any experience with the Polk db6501 for front, and db651s or db651 for the rear? Is the sound the same between the db651s and db651?

 

I plan on running these on the stock head unit (at least for now - not a huge car audiophile) and putting deflex pads behind the fronts.

do you not have the harness?

if you do, just stack them into the HU

I guess you could tap into the existing one(too much work)

You'd just hook the harnesses into each other.
