August 26, 201411 yr Hi guys, Over the weekend I've just picked up my first Subaru... It's a 05 wrx with a prodrive pack, and I have to say it is shockingly quick. When I first took it out for a test run I didn't even think of listening to the stereo as the flat four gurgle sound was a dream to hear. However sticking on the stereo in traffic it sounded shockingly bad. I'd like to keep the original head unit in as I quite like original look. I think I need a speaker upgrade in the door panels but not to sure about a sub unless you can get a tidy one which somehow fits below the metal shelf in front of the boot lid. I was wondering if anyone has any ideas. Your thought's please.
August 26, 201411 yr can get under seat subs, there good for what they are, as for speakers depends on your budget, i got some hertz in the RS for shows, paid £100 with comps , they are amped as well, problem with the scoob doors is there isnt much sound deadening as standard due to them been built for rallying, so some good 150w+ speakers should do for the doors, the biggest kick comes from changing the rears for 12cm items i think ? mine are 300w and give a right kick due to the size of the boot.
August 26, 201411 yr Ash, in the blobeye, the rear speakers are in the back doors i have fitted 6.5" coax speakers in the front doors (just need an adaptor ring, std speakers are 5") and they made a decent improvement. also get some sound deadening to put on the inside of the door behind the speaker. i used to have a pair of 15" subs running 'infinate baffle' (no box needed) and didn't take up much boot space. have a look at the under seat subs, they offer a decent punch and help blend into the musical sound stage
August 26, 201411 yr Is the sound quality improved a lot by changing speakers? I've the heard the head unit needs changing because it is !Removed!!
August 27, 201411 yr i changed the head unit first, so i haven't heard the std head unit with uprated speakers i think it will be a better sound upgrading the head unit first. great speakers will only sound as good as the head unit can produce,
August 28, 201411 yr Just put an underseat sub in mine and makes a big difference if your not after massive bass its a great upgrade
