all 4 speakers blown

[LosDiosDeVerde86]

so.. specs: 96 legacy LS no tweeter kit, came with a tape deck/AM/FM now has a CD head unit (that's nothing special, it's been installed for about 3 years with no problems)

 

my rear speakers blew out. all sorts of cracking and snapping with any base that a song or a DJ's voice may have, so i've been running everything through the front 2 speakers.. and "what's his name's" Law has taken affect and the reaction of pushing everything through the front 2 speakers is having an equal and opposite reaction and now the fron 2 are starting to go.

 

now, i don't want anything special, basically just replacement speakers. a set of 4 would be nice, the 2 in the rear and the 2 in the front.

 

does anyone know what i should be looking for? size? brand? is there a compatability issue i need to worry about, or are speakers all the same when it comes to wiring (aside from humongus ones that need an amplifier)?

 

any help would be appriciated.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(oh, and sorry for not being around at all. been working full time while trying to find another better job)

Is the car a wagon or sedan?

 

Edit::Fronts are 5 1/4 in either iirc, 6.5's will fit with a little work to the mounting craddle.

Probably the CD player was too much juice for the stock speakers.

 

Here's a link to the 2007 Scosche fitment guide, just look in the Subaru section, it'll tell ya what size speakers will fit.

Funny - my 96 Legacy sedan's rear speakers just completely blew 2 months ago. Speakers back there take a lot of abuse from heat and sunlight.

 

This followed several months of a new Pioneer CD player that I am sure over-drove the stock speakers.

 

I replaced them with some freebie "Dual" speakers I got with the stereo at Best Buy. They needed an extra hole drilled into them to fit the factory screw holes, but otherwise were a quick and cheap replacement for the blown rears. They aren't polys, but new cones beat blown cones.

 

I expect the door speakers need to be replaced soon as well. I hate cutting factory metal, so I try to stay with stock sized speakers.

 

Oh, and the stock tweeters are not a massive improvement - but I will say this.....you'd miss them if you already had them. You might have to investigate the crossover settings and gain if you run another amp.
