So both of my current Legacy's front door speakers are out, and play intermittently if not at all.
Thinking about upgrading, and recall running a pair of CDT CL6x speakers in my old first car, a '96 dodge avenger, and they sounded fantastic
found these on amazon and reviews look promising:

would those fit? haven't taken doors apart just yet
any opinions on other options are welcome

Re: CDT Speaker Upgrade
The first 94 Legacy I had I didn't touch the fronts because they were fine. It was just the stock head unit failing. Sorry for going off topic. The worst part about a first gen Legacy's audio system is that the front speakers use a weird triangular mount with a 6.5 mounting hole. I think some people pop the stock speakers out of the mount and attach them that way. What I did was take the plastic triangular mounts out of a 2000 Legacy and put my kenwoods in those. The triangular mount from a 2000 is not a perfect fit in a 1st gen though. Just to warn you. I don't know the best way to approach the front speakers. Just giving insight.

Re: CDT Speaker Upgrade
hey, I appreciate it. It'll come in handy once I actually tear into it. Have to open up the the door to mess with keylock assembly so I'll try to ceck it out then.SouperPoo wrote:The first 94 Legacy I had I didn't touch the fronts because they were fine.

seems like modding things to fit the 1st gen is the name of the game lol

Re: CDT Speaker Upgrade
The mounting depth is the typical issue on the front door speakers. You can use standard 6-1/2" speaker spacers if needed. Make sure to role down the window all the way to check clearance between the speaker magnet and window.

Re: CDT Speaker Upgrade
Grab the speaker holders from a 95-99 Legacy front doors. They are plastic and the speaker screws into them. They mount into the 90-94 doors just like the original metal one-piece design and have the same angled up fit as the OEMs.
