Will wagon rear door cards fit a sedan?

[stirally8]

I have a 97 lgt sedan and plan on adding speakers in the rear doors. I have noticed the doors have holes in them for speakers. Will a door card from a wagon fit the sedan door or are they a little different in size?

[Okin DaVanh]

yes, they'll fit. The wagon and sedan doors are interchangeable.

I think Benfolio just did this.

The door, the panel and the door card, glass, and regulators are identical to sedan <-> wagon

I just installed wagon panels in a sedan for a friend. now it has 6 speakers + 2 tweeters .

nice! I am putting in a custom fiberglass package tray thats holds an amp and 2-8" subs, so I am also adding a set of speakers to the rear doors. now I just need to find a set of wagon door cards.

now I just need to find a set of wagon door cards.

Cards or Panels? Like I said before the cards themselves are identical sedan<->wagon. The panel is what has the grill / cutout for the speaker.

Hope this helps.

then I guess it is the panel I need the speaker grill.

[Benfolio]

Yeah, I just swapped my sedan panels/cards into my wagon and cut holes and swapped the grilles.


Easy as pie. :smt028

I still have to prime it and paint it and the amp should be back very soon. this is why I am going to put a set of speakers in the rear doors.

Nice, and it'll keep the trunk empty.

Holy Bondo batman!

I wonder how your rear glass is going to respond to that poundage.

Looks interesting cant wait to see the end result

it is fiberglass the filler was used to skim coat ir and fill in imperfections. the 8's are going to be used as midrange speakers instead of subs. I have the two 12's and the 15 to provide all the necessary bass.

Wondering how hard it is to swap PW/PL from a sedan to a Brighton wagon. easier to just swap the whole door? Wiring headache?

pretty simple. regulators/locking assembly is direct bolt on, although I don't think the brighton came with the wiring harness. And the FSM is not specific when it comes to the PW/PL pinouts. But it's been done. Expect 10+ hours to do this upgrade. 2 Hours to swap all the mechanics and 8 hours for the fun wiring.

Good luck.

I have the power window wiring colors wrote down from when I installed my window roll up modules. I also have colors for the lock wires. if you attempt this let me know and I can post them.

I did this in my Impreza. I will never attempt this again. This is why I have my motto - Don't mod what you can buy stock.

IMHO, it'll be easier to find a door with everything in it, and the harness still attached. At least then you just need to splice the wires and paint the door.
