My stockers kick ass. I would probably say check crutchfield for sizing and not choose anything with a huge magnet.

I think Subaru has the shitiest speakers and sound system of any car. There is no bass from the stock speakers and distortion if you turn it up past halfway! I have to say my 2001 civic's stock sytem was 10 times better. IMO.

i found the true problem inmy car was the crappy headunit, not so much the speakers (have the oem woofer too, FWIW)

with a better headunit, i find the oem's to be "adequate" , but certainly not glorious....

I couldn't have said it better myself, i get serious distortion if I even try to turn them up slightly loud and I have to keep my bass on negative!

alot of this distortion is caused my the limitations of the headunit power source.

anyway, im by no means an audiophile, so i dont wanna venture any further insight/opinions on this..
i can tell you this, however, the kenwood 7015 headunit (am/fm/sirius/cd/dvd touchscreen, with optional remote mounted nav dvd w/voice) looks and fits better than the stock H/U (imo)
