Hey guys

I have been searching around for a mid that i can fit into my wrx. Its has a very limited mounting depth. I finally decided that i like the alpine spx-177a. and i found a place selling it at 300 + tax.

Anyway, with a little reasearch i have heard that this speaker will fit in the wrx. And ppl at auto sound design have claimed to have installed the speaker into the 03 wrx (they are asking $675 for it installed ). however they did mention that it might not fit into the 04 wrx because of a bigger windown track nut that is used. which might cut down clearence.

Anyway i need to make sure, before i go and order these. So does any one have a 6 1/2" mid with a 70.3mm / 2.73" mounting depth. that i can try out. If i can get the exact same speaker, that would be even better. but probably not. I just need one mid.

anyway,
any help is appreciated.
thanks.

It would help if you gave us the name and model of the speaker your talking about.

 

thanks for pointing it out.

I am looking at the apline spx 177a set!

 

Type X speakers are pretty deep, I'm surprised they'd fit. I used to have a set, very good speakers.

 

If this is a mounting problem in a door and the window track is too close to the magnet, the window track can also be moved and spaced back to allow a greater clearance for a deep speaker. This process if done correctly will not have any adverse effects on the window seals, power window motors of manual window cranks.
