Mine is yellow (original 19 years old oem). But I did buy a brand new OEM one a couple of years back and it came with blue sheathing. have not installed that one yet. OP, I'd be surprised that the o2 sensor would be bad. That's strange.

I think his IAM has stayed around that value for a while. I never saw that CEL code before. From a quick Google search, looks like either the 02 sensor has issue, or the wiring is faulty? Check connections? I am not sure if the fact that the o2 sensor is after the turbo is correlated with the CEL. Worth asking this question to the tuner. Interestingly, your long term fuel trims look fine too.

Are your seat covers still original?

I've had the Denon AVR1911 for almost 10 years now. Been working just fine. Got it for cheap and used on eBay. A little outdated now but I still like it. What makes me mad is Redbox is going under. No more bluray disk to rent for cheap.. Been hoping to rent 4K discs from them. eeeee nope. CT Sounds? Did you get inspired from Soundman car audio Doug Bernards ? Don't get me wrong, I love to do performance upgrades too. Have not touched my sound system for years now in the 05. It just works. It would benefit from an additional battery or HO alternator though. Also, as I previously mentioned, that's why my 06 has zero audio upgrade to it. I don't listen to music in that car. The exhaust is my music. My original plan, years ago, was to put an 18 it. But then I realized how much weight I would add and the impact it could have on engine performance, and handling performance. Soooo, nothing done.

It's fine. Get in that rabbit hole. It's fun! But yeah klipsch or not, you need some good cone area for movies man, and some pretty good juice. My Denon powers all the satellite speakers while I am using some QSC amp (3K RMS) for the sub. Action scenes, and BAM, the house shakes like crazy . It's just a 15 though. Can't wait for the 18 in a proper enclosure. Lots of movies to rewatch after that. Turned into an audio thread now . Sorry OP.

yeah. I've built two enclosures with the software so far. We got great results each time. Nice flat response and when it goes down, it still sounds good. I have two additional enclosures to build, one for a 15" TC sound LMS, and one for a TC Sound LMS Ultra 18". That will be for movies.

I have the OEM radio still in place that is useless. I have been using my Nexus 7 tablet instead since 2016 now. Hooked up to a USB DAC, which then goes to an old school soundstream preamp, and then to a Phoenix Gold Ti2 1600.5 amp. Still stock door speakers. I did add a Dayton Audio RSS315HO-44 12". I custom built that box using the BassBox 6 Pro software. Very happy with the frequency response.

I do own the SMD gain setting tool

I was referring to the speaker wattage, not the amp wattage. But yeah, if you know what you're doing in setting up gains, etc.., you could safely overpower speakers a little making sure you are sending a clean signal. At home, I have a TC sound subwoofer rated at 500W RMS, powered by a QSC amp capable of 1250W RMS. The speaker can handle that wattage for about 3-4 minutes straight (making sure no clipping). It does get warm and toasty though. Gotta love the smell of warm voice coil In my subie, I am still rocking the stock door speakers and overpowering them. 15 years, they still work!

If you are talking about mids/highs, 100w rms per speaker is plenty, especially times 4. Add high sensitivity to the mix and they'll be plenty loud. You should also check partsexpress btw.

No stereo sound in my 06 either. The exhaust sound is my music. However, the 05 has aftermarket audio stuff for long road trips.

What is the total RMS wattage?

What are you going to do? Return the new amps?

Probably 0.8 ohm. Assumption though. if that's the case, that's fine. Check the ground wire now. How about the ACC wire that turns on the amp?

Check the wire resistance with an Ohm meter?

Looks like it has been replaced by 15208AA20A ? Taller filter.

This filter is actually sold by flatironstuning as well. https://www.flatironstuning.com/15208aa100 I paid 75$ with tax for 10 filters on ebay.

Anyone using the 15208AA100 oem oil filters? I have been using the OEM 15208aa12a filters for the past 15 years. These were like 4-6 bucks a piece. I complained not too long ago about the price of the new oil filters. But these are actually made in Japan. These appear to be slightly larger and better quality.

Look what I found! https://www.autoseatskins.com/subaru-legacy-katzkin-leather-seats-p/csu02.htm

Thanks for the link. Obviously the ivory ones are $$$$ . I may go ahead and buy the passenger side leather cover sold here in the US and see how it goes. But man, it is really tempting to try to fit the newer outback cover I posted yesterday.

It's true. You could always repair them.

The owner of this site is a bass head. I used to watch him on Youtube a looong time ago. I would trust getting his own amp brand. Although, I have not bought any of these yet, as I have yet to reinstall my D3000.1 MMATS amp. Still rocking a 4.1 channel Phoenix Gold amp. Not super strong (800W for the sub channel) but not too bad.

What amps did you blow? I've seen some decent amps on the down4sound website.

^ That sounds scary and frustrating at the same time.

Anybody worked on refreshing their seat covers? My driver side bottom leather seat cover is trash now. I just need a new cover but can't find one. Any solution beside finding a used seat? The 2015+ outback are lucky. They can buy these in black or tan. I am almost tempted to buy one and see if I can make it fit.. Edit: after doing some more searching, it looks like we can still buy the bottom leather seat cover for the passenger side only, not the driver side. Thing is I don't see the difference between the two .
