I had infinity kappa's in my last car and these don't hold a candle to them.
I don't think I'm going to be able to use infinity Kappas again. Most of them have a fairly deep mounting depth and most of these mounts are pretty shallow. |

I agree. Would you go IB or sealed? I'd consider trying IB it's just so much more effort :P

Is there any room for spacers? I might have some newer Kappas laying around assuming I didn't throw them in the trash, I wasn't impressed at all sadly

Here's a pic with the speaker removed on the door. If you can get your speakers to miss the window you'd be okay. You could probably raise them up a bit but You'd have to start trimming the door panel to get it to fit.

Damn, I hope the actual mounting depth for the 6.5's in the doors are more than only 2", I have 2 pairs of Infinity Kappa component speakers I pulled out of my Magnum before I traded it in and I was planning on putting a set of them into the BRZ since they are really good speakers, not to mention expensive, but they have I believe about a 2 1/2" mounting depth.

That's what I want to put in the doors as well. I'm going to check again tonight. I think with the bracket and maybe a shim they will fit okay.

I use oak usually for mine. Harder to deal with, but a much better solution.

You could probably fit some subs were the rears are but you would have to make a from scratch bracing to hold it up. It would depends on how deep they where too.
I'm just going to run a single 10 in the trunk for now. I got some more meansurements for the doors as well. The Infinity Kappa components are going to pit no problem. I was measuring from the door metal opening to the window. From there I'd say you have 2.25" of depth. Might be able to get some more but I wouldn't. The factory speakers are heald up into the door panel by their bracket so that gives another inch. I thinking about trying http://www.crutchfield.com/p_142SAT6...er-reviews-tab and http://www.crutchfield.com/p_003SG60...ng.html?tp=919 to build the mounting bracket. I do love how easily the panels can be taken apart. None of the speakers are very hard to get to. |

I looked at mine through the door panel, there's a TON of space between the speaker and door panel.. so a 1" spacer (compared to whatever the stock one is) shouldn't post any problems on all but high xmax drivers. So if the stock spacer is 1" as noted above, then a 2" spacer should fit..

Can anyone measure the distance between the 3 OEM mounting holes inthe dood skin? I have a suspicion that they are the same as in most Subaru vehicles, +/- a mm or so. |
