Ok, so as I was sitting on my friends impreza outback I noticed that the rear speaker is on the rear door panel and not above & behind the rear seats. Since the sedan/outback/wagon use the same rear doors, I figured it will fit.
Created a topic viewtopic.php?f=8&t=23779 (http://www.sl-i.net/FORUM/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=23779) and thanks to dead91silvia, He confirmed that the sedan panel has an outline for the grill already and also have a hole for 6.5 speakers.
If you want to do it the easy way, you can just buy the rear door panels off the legacy outback/wagon and swap em over. Different years and different models come in different color/shade so since my 98 gt came with leather, it was easier to source the outback grill at pick and pull. Cost for both grill is $6 while the whole door panel i think is $20 each.
Grill off an outback (make sure to grab the 4 screws for the grill)

This is how the cutout looks like from the outback

Drill the blue dots (used 21/64 bit)
Cut along the red dotted line with a dremmel. Its basically between the two outline.
Repeat on the other side
