phenryiv1 Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Is the stock subaru subwoofer compatible with an aftermarket HU install? I have the 2.5i (manual HVAC controls) with a Pioneer HU and Alpine speakers, but I want a little more bass without losing space. One possible option is the stock sub. I did some searching on here- does it work with an aftermarket HU, assuming that I used the proper wiring harness to install the HU (meaning, no cut-and-splice install)? I know I will need the factory sub harness, if this has a shot at working. Patrick Looking for spacers or adapters to install aftermarket speakers in the doors of your Legacy?

SVXdc Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Yes, it will work, as long as you're using a HU that has speaker-level outputs (a few HUs don't -- they only have line-level outs). If you don't already own the OEM sub, they're not worth the price new. Consider one of the many aftermarket under-seat subs. Most of those have RCA line-level inputs, which is a better way to connect it. Plus, many HUs have separate sub outputs and let you adjust the level.

phenryiv1 Posted July 7, 2009 Author Share Posted July 7, 2009 Those are also under consideration. I appreciate the input. I have never done a half-@$$ system like this before. It was either change everything, or leave it stock. Patrick Looking for spacers or adapters to install aftermarket speakers in the doors of your Legacy?
