Mlavery Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 I was thinking about putting the Subaru woofer/amp in my 05 GT wagon because I carry a lot of gear in my trunk and dont want to mount anything back there. Does anyome have the Subi Sub in their car? Is it a POS, or does it have decent sound? S the car pre-wired to accept the sub? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtguy Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 It is pre-wired, and it is not a bad woofer, though I would hardly call it a subwoofer, but don't get me started about true low bass in a car. Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mlavery Posted October 23, 2004 Author Share Posted October 23, 2004 Anyone have any pics of any other power subs in their wagons? Any thoughts on the Kenwood Woox? I had an Ininfity Basslink in my A4, but Im looking for somehting small and compact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ih8vtec13 Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 I was thinking about having one installed under the drivers seat and one under the passangers seat. it wouldnt be fair to have a heated massage chair and not have one for my passangers. i just havent gotten an answer from the dealer weather onr not they can do it any thoughts on it or weather it can be done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The subwoofer mounts up via a connector/cord arrangement. If the GT is like the WRX's setup (also a Panasonic head unit, same subwoofer), there is one plug for a sub.

rao Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 You could do it and it wouldn't be that hard. Why is a different question :) Rob   IF YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR CAR YOU SHOULD NEVER DRIVE IT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanoswrx Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 Its a decent sub, its not going to let people outside the car know you have a Sub, but inside it will make a good rumble. I think it really helps improve sound quality too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evams Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 I think its pretty good. I have my 12" Kicker Solar Baric and Kicker Amp sittin in my room. Just waiting/deciding on when to get an aftermark stereo to hook it up. A friend of mine took a ride in my and he said its the best stock stereo he has ever heard. I think it does its job. I'm happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awdG35killer Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 if you didnt have it factory installed, dont get it. just buy an aftermarket sub. i love it tho, i only listen to alternative rock/emo, so its kinda perfect for the trble/bass, since i dont need much to enjoy :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c_hunter Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 It's decent, but is noti going to disrupt traffic. It will augment the stock system quite nicely, however. Some comments: contrary to what someone posted above, the car is not prewired for the sub. The sub comes with a harness that gets routed to the back of the radio stack (through the center console) where it connects inline with the main radio harness (it does not plug into the back of the radio as also alluded to above). The audio signals for the sub get picked off the speaker-level wires from the rear channel. You should be able to connect two of them, assuming a sub will fit under the passenger seat and current draw is not too severe for the radio harness where it connects in. Even then, some custom wiring would fix that last problem. Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig[/QUOTE] That was me, and what I meant was that there is an existing plug on the rear of the head unit that is all ready for the sub's plug, which I take to mean "pre-wired," because you don't have to do anything except pull the head unit, plug it in, and off you go. But you're right, this could be misconstrued as "just buy the sub, put it under the seat and kick out the jams." Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c_hunter Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 Actually, tearing open the center console and routing the harness is the biggest part of the job, so it's important for people to realize that. If the harness were already installed then I would consider that "prewired". Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GypsyGeo Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 I had the subwoofer installed on my '05 Outback Ltd XT and agree with the feedback offered by the others...It is adequate for the job inside but don't expect the earth outside to move with it.

2k5-Legacy Posted November 11, 2004 Share Posted November 11, 2004 More precisely can I run the harness to an amp then to mytwo 10" subs ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjh78 Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 I have a new 2005 Subaru Legacy GT with the subwoofer. It has adjustments for level and gain that you can change. When I first bought the car it wasn't too impressive. I turned it up the other day and now I have the bass on 0 and it sounds really nice. If I turn the bass up, obviously it hits a lot harder. I am glad I purchased it with the subwoofer. The only thing I do not like about it is that the wiring comes with a blue sheath. I wish it had a black one.
