I don't remember the website but I have a list of a bunch of speakers that fit with spacers...thin and thick.

Those are on the list.

let me know how they sound as they are on my short list of speakers to buy....

also let me know what kind of deal you get...best I have seen is online.

Any 6.5 should work up front with a 1 inch spacer. Focal are good speakers, but WRX's have weird accoustics. You will need a speaker with a lot of mid-bass. That's from experience!!

Good Luck!!

They should fit with a 3/4" spacer. You have out the old plastic stock spacer and make a new one. Put an extrem dynamat, atleast a speaker kit. Here's a link on how-to-install.

Not all 6.5's fit, i believe i remember outferno saying 6.5 refrences didn't fit without some modification even with the spacers.

I know that 165K2's definately won't fit.

The 165A fits, my 165v2 fits, the 165k's needs modification on the window track and inner door panels.
