2019 Subaru Impreza Speaker Sizes and Audio System Guide
This page covers the 2019 Subaru Impreza’s factory speaker layout, common speaker locations, and upgrade notes so you can identify what may be in your vehicle before shopping. Equipment varies by trim, body style, and audio package, and some details should be verified before ordering because generation-based data is used where 2019 location information is limited.

Vehicle and Audio System Specifications
This block helps identify the vehicle and its audio system configuration for fitment decisions.
Body Style Audio Differences
For the 2019 Subaru Impreza, body style can affect factory audio equipment, even though body-style-specific speaker data is not listed. Based on generation data, speaker layouts may range from 4 to 6 speakers, and some trims include upgraded audio packages. Verify the exact trim and audio package before ordering parts.
What Speakers Fit the 2019 Subaru Impreza?
Aftermarket fitment should start with the factory speaker locations listed above, but diameter alone is not enough. Based on generation data, the 2019 Impreza uses 6 x 9 inch front speakers and 6.5 inch rear speakers, though the exact setup should be verified before ordering. Check mounting depth, bracket fit, connector type, and whether your car has a premium or factory-amplified audio system, since equipment can vary by trim. Selected audio systems may also include a factory subwoofer if equipped.
Usually Safe Upgrades
- If your vehicle uses the front 6 x 9 inch location, look for aftermarket speakers in that size and confirm the mounting depth before buying.
- If your vehicle uses the rear 6.5 inch location, choose 6.5 inch replacements and verify the connector style and installation depth.
- If your trim has a factory-amplified audio system, match the speaker choice to the system’s power handling and signal type.
- If equipped with a factory subwoofer, treat that as a separate audio component and verify its location and size before planning upgrades.
Check Before Buying
- Verify the speaker size by trim and audio package, since the 4-speaker and 6-speaker systems use different factory layouts.
- Confirm whether your vehicle has the premium audio system before ordering, because amplifier details should be checked by trim and audio package.
- Measure available mounting depth and compare it with the replacement speaker’s basket and magnet depth.
- Check the factory connector and mounting style so you know whether you need an adapter or bracket.
- Use the generation data as a guide, but verify the exact fitment on your vehicle before purchase.
Installation Notes
The 2019 Subaru Impreza uses different factory audio setups, so verify your trim and audio package before ordering parts. Based on generation data, front locations are listed as 6 x 9 inch and rear locations as 6.5 inch, but speaker details should be verified before installation. Panel removal is usually the first step, and care is needed around clips, trim edges, and factory wiring. A harness adapter is recommended to help keep the factory wiring intact, and mounting adapters may be needed to match the new speaker to the opening. Check speaker depth carefully, especially in the front locations, so the replacement does not interfere with the window or door structure. If your vehicle has the factory amplifier, confirm compatibility before choosing speakers or an amplifier integration solution. If your vehicle has the factory subwoofer, plan for additional integration parts as needed. Test each speaker before reassembling the panels to confirm polarity, balance, and proper operation.
Installation is moderate and can become more involved on trims with upgraded audio equipment, so verify fitment and wiring before starting.
Common Mistakes When Replacing Speakers
The 2019 Subaru Impreza can vary a lot by trim and audio package, so the biggest mistakes happen when buyers assume every car uses the same speaker setup.
- Buying based only on the body-style label instead of checking actual speaker locations on the vehicle. The generation data shows front 6 x 9 inch and rear 6.5 inch locations, but the note says to verify before ordering because the 2019 location data is based on generation information.
- Skipping trim and audio package checks before ordering parts. Some trims use 4 speakers while others use 6 speakers, and factory amplifier details should be verified by trim and audio package.
- Ignoring mounting depth and speaker size before purchase. Even when the size looks correct, the opening, depth, and bracket space can still affect whether the speaker will fit properly.
- Assuming the factory wiring and connectors are the same on every version. Connector style can vary with trim and audio package, so it is important to inspect the vehicle before buying adapters or harnesses.
- Overlooking tweeter or subwoofer equipment if equipped. The vehicle data does not list tweeters and does not list a factory subwoofer, so any upgraded audio package should be checked carefully before ordering replacement parts.
- Reassembling the door or trim panels before testing the new speakers. Always test sound, balance, and wiring polarity first so you can catch issues before everything is put back together.
Generation & Model Family
The 2019 Subaru Impreza belongs to the Fifth generation (GK) (2017–2019) family. Nearby model years often share similar speaker locations and audio layouts, but exact fitment can vary by trim and audio package – verify before ordering.
Recommended Upgrade Path
The 2019 Subaru Impreza uses different audio setups depending on trim, so equipment can vary from a basic 4-speaker system to 6-speaker premium versions. Based on generation data, the front stage is the best place to start for most buyers, and factory amplifier details should be verified by trim and audio package before planning an upgrade.
| Goal | Best Upgrade Path | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Better clarity | Upgrade the front speakers first, then add tweeters if equipped or if your chosen audio package supports them. Focus on cleaner mids and highs before moving to the rear speakers. | Front speakers do most of the work for vocals and detail, so improving the front stage usually gives the biggest clarity gain. |
| More bass | Add an aftermarket subwoofer to complement the factory speakers and fill in the low end. If your trim includes premium audio equipment, verify the system layout before choosing sub and amp components. | A dedicated subwoofer adds low-frequency output that the door speakers cannot reproduce as well on their own. |
| Louder sound | Properly matched speakers and amplifier integration can improve volume and reduce distortion. Verify factory amp or premium system integration before adding aftermarket amplifiers so the upgrade matches the vehicle’s audio setup. | More power only helps when the speakers and integration are matched correctly, especially on trims with upgraded audio equipment. |
| Budget improvement | Replace the front door speakers first with same-size replacement speakers and correct mounting brackets. This gives the most noticeable improvement for the money and lets you upgrade the rest later. | The front speakers handle the most important listening position, so starting there gives the best value. |
| Factory look | Use same-size replacement speakers with the correct mounting brackets and harness adapters for a clean install that preserves the factory wiring and appearance. | This approach keeps the interior looking original while still improving sound quality. |
Mounting Adapters and Wiring
The same nominal diameter does not guarantee a direct mount. Before ordering, confirm:
- Speaker depth: Aftermarket speakers often have larger magnets – measure available depth at each location.
- Mounting brackets: Door locations typically need a bracket or spacer to clear the window regulator and achieve correct mounting depth.
- Wiring harness adapters: Use a plug-and-play harness adapter to preserve factory wiring.
- Tweeter mounting cups: Replacing OEM tweeters may require surface-mount cups or brackets depending on the location.
- Factory or premium amplified systems: If the vehicle has a premium or factory-amplified audio system, confirm how the factory radio, amplifier, and speakers are connected before adding aftermarket amplifiers. Depending on the setup, a line output converter, DSP, integration harness, or professional installation may be needed.
- Connector type: Factory connectors vary by trim and model year – confirm compatibility before splicing or using an adapter.
