  1. I had noise from my stereo install too. This is what I did. No dim issue and no audio wine. 0 awg from alt to batt. 0awg from batt neg to chassis. 3 other points grounded in engine. Ensured my ground points are sanded including in the trunk. Ran a in line noise filter for the power on the head unit, ran a second one on the power for my line level converter. Both have there own grounds sanded of course.

    From there it’s about the tune. There’s a sweet spot between gain on loc vs head unit volume vs gain on the amps. I run a speaker 4 channel and a sub amp. I also have a capacitor in the trunk I’m running 1400watts rms so realistically I’m over 2k but no issues. My wiring is all high quality oxygen free copper ring terminals are all copper that I soldered onto the wires for the grounds as well. Side note there are 2 ground wires on the stock head unit for some reason one of em works with the lights if u tapped into that one. I’d recommend not sharing the headunit ground but make a new ground instead if that’s what you did.

     

    Thanks didn’t know stock HU had 2 grounds,but what I did I added another ground wire from the HU to a metal bar behind the HU, but even then I didn’t have the noise issue when I turn lights it just started happening out of nowhere,but I’ll remove the ground wire I added and see if that’ll fix the issue.

  2. Been offline for awhile but thanks, I ended up grabbing a 320 amp small hairpin alt from apex alternators and got it powder coated all under 500 .I’ll post once iv installed. The stock only pushes like 105. I threw in a bigger interstate battery under the hood and slapped a yellow top in the trunk and still my lights dim and my rpms drop when the bass hits. Kinda felt I went overkill with 320 but eh lol I’m at 1/0 but I’m gonna run 00 gauge from alt to battery and swap out all my wire to 00.

     

    Cool man,let me know how the new alternator works out,I removed my subs for now,everyone I turn my headlights on I hear a noise through my speakers,seems like a grounding issue.

  3. Whats up everyone , anyone know of a good high output alternator ? I threw in a system but I need an alternator upgrade I’m drawing to much power for the stock one to handle

     

    I believe either mechman or jsalternators makes one for our car,I’m also thinking of upgrading mine,I did all big3 and all wires 1/0 ofc gauge,but when I’m driving and bass hits I can feel the car loses power.

  4. Yep, I got on the highway in a remote area and bedded them in good. It was still noisy. My previous bmw had the slotted/drilled from the factory and didn't make noise.

    i forgot what brand i used on the legacy, i think it was powerstop? i got the parts from rockauto.

     

    Ah ok I have stoptech rotors with STi pads

    But my brother bought powerstop cross/drilled rotors and pads installed on his Lexus and it made noise for weeks and I told him to replace the pads and he got a cheaper pads form AUTOZONE and no more noise.

  5. Thank you. Would I be correct if I were to purchase the following (and have a local car alarm place do the work)?

     

    Fortin EVO-ONE-SUB1 Remote Starter and Alarm Bypass Module

     

    CrimeStopper TELE-CONNECT (wouldn't this be duplicative to the stock Remote Car Locator feature as part of Starlink Plus, or is the stock feature also not available in a '19 Legacy Limited?)

     

    our Link from Crutchfield not showing fortin evo one.

     

    The tele-connect is like star link except the remote starting which starlink doesn’t have.

    Do you have the push start model?if so just wanna let you know that it shuts off your car when you open your door when you remote start.

  6. Is the WRX/STI the same as Legacy Wheel spacers anyone know? [emoji848]

     

    the stud part number is the same and PCD is the same Im not sure about the hub dimensions though. Im interested in these http:// https://www.rallysportdirect.com/part/wheel-spacers/1-10213-2-factionfab-5x114-3-25mm-wheel-spacers

     

    I saw this thread http:// https://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/6th-gen-wheel-spacersii-265107.htmlbut doesn’t answer my question

    Yes those spacers will fit,I am using 2015 STi front rotors with my ATS-V Cadillac brembo calipers.

  7. Apologies for the noob question. I’ve found a set of new 2020 wrx wheels for sale locally. They’re the 18” version and from what I’ve read they’re 8.5 vs the stock 7.5 I’ve got on my 17 premium. If I were to buy them and put new 235/50/18s on them am I going to have any issues or problems with clearance?

     

    Thank you!
