Upgrading Subaru Speakers / Tweeters

Has anyone upgraded the speakers in their Subaru? I have a 2004 Forester and would like to add tweeters, but Subaru's own part is so overpriced. Has anyone added an OEM/aftermarket set of tweeters? What did you buy, and how/where did you install them?

Does anyone know if the "official" Subaru tweeter kits for any other year/model fits the 2004 Forester? I've seen a few for the 2001 Legacy being sold very cheaply by some dealerships online.

and order good replacement speakers. I purchased two sets of Pioneer speakers for about $60. They made a world of difference combined with replaced the crappy stock head unit with a Kenwoods am/fm cd mp3 player. For about $160 I am pleased with my stereo in my 04 OBW. Far cry from the stock crap.

I have installed the OEM tweeters in my 2005 Forester. I rented a Forester before that had them and thought they sounded better than my new Forester without them. I am happy with the price for the improvement in the sound. I considered the speaker upgrade but after adding the tweeters, I am not as motivated to replace the speakers or add the subwoofer.

The OEM tweeters are $69 from

The wires are already there and the install is super easy.

I upgraded using a Sony MP3 cd player, Kenwood amp, and two-way 6.5" component JBL speakers for the front. The upgrade in sound over the stock speaks was very noticeable. These JBLs fit in the stock XT speaker locations.
