Eclipse 5425 CD/MP3 (so freakin hottt)

infinity door speakers (came with the car and I hate them)

jensen 4 channel (also came with the car and i hate it even more)

Alpine 2 channel (running bridged, my newest toy and i love it)

pioneer 12"(in a bandpass box, got it from a buddy and it sounds ok. Not a huge fan of bandpass boxes)

coming soon...

Optima yellow top

alpine 6.5" (already have one pair, brand new just sitting here, maybe ill put em in today)

new 4 channel (either eclipse or alpine most likely, still havent decided)

sirius tuner (the deck will display the info, all i need is the sleek little tuner to put under the dash and the antenna, most likely the next mod)

2 eclipse 10" in custom side boxes (this is a little down the road, seeing as i was just rear ended the other day)

Overall the system is coming along nicely. Its just about loud enough or me. Im not trying to go for huge wattage, ish is pretty loud in a wagon...

SG, when did you get that Eclipse? I saw it at the audiophile shop near me and I love the new lines of decks!

Too bad we don't have Eclipse here... Looks like it's pretty good stuff! Here's something I did, and later saw that exists as stock...

2 CD decks in 1 car....ghetto. It's not even an EQ or something along those lines.

About 4 months ago. Second one i've owned, first one got jack 2 weeks after i got it. It's freakin badass. I definately like the new models ALOT more than the old ones (mines got 5v preouts, that only came on the higher end eclipse models in the previous lines). Tilt face also is nice on sunny days. I would reccomend Eclipse over just about any other company as far as decks go.

I have 2 12" JLs bridged to 2 ohms
1000w Jensen Amp
2 JL tweeters
250w Kenwood Head Unit
2 Tvs and and Fm Modulator to play through my system

Pictures are in Members rides

Future upgrades ....

My 2 subs are only pushing half of my amp because im running my subs at 2 ohms and my amp is at 1, so i would need to get to more subs to run them at 1 ohm for the full effect.

I just swapped out the stock head unit for a Pioneer DEH-P4900IB with the iPod connection kit.

It works pretty well, better than I thought it would, but I wish it was more ipod-like. It won't remember when you drill to an artist and select a song. After it plays and you want to select another song, you have to drill back down to this artist again.

next up is a set of better speakers and looking in to an amp and sub setup.

That is what I arrived at after 4 years in an Alero with Premier Head unit, the same amps, JVC 4x6's, 6x9's, JL tweeters, and 2 Polk audio 12" subs in a ported box and $4,000. With age comes appreciation for quality sound, not just volume. And a love for a Subaru Legacy and a desire to treat her well. :smt023

Ok as of now i have an optima red top, zero gauge TIFF power wire W/100 amp fuse to a splitter. One goes to 8 gauge to an 800 watt blaupunked amp to 2, 400 watt each 3 way pioneer 6x9. The other is a 4 gauge to a 2000 watt hittron amp and a 2 farad capacitor pushing a KIcker CVR 15" sub.

Pretty much have a hard time breathing in the back seat.

right now i've got a panasonic head unit

factory tweeters up front
2 10" kicker Comps
Rockford comp woven 4ga kit
Rockford amp
Custom sealed box

I've had so many setups; 2 Rockford 12"s, JL audio 10", audiobahn 12"s, etc...

anyone have a box where the spare tire is supposed to be? Ive heard lots of these, and built one, but never in a wagon... I can only assume it would sound good, and I need the room for the auto-x stuff honestly, so that may be the next project. that, or make a singe 10" box on the drivers side against the access panel (since I have no spare, I have no jack.. lol)

The 95 Legacy I just bought comes with a JVC KD-G300 CD-RW/MP3 head unit. Amazing how much difference just a head unit can make in terms of sound quality - I'm under the impression they're still powering the OEM 14-year-old speakers but it's still quite a step up. Plus I'm digging the MP3 feature - didn't know what I was missing this whole time.

Unfortunately the clock only comes on when the unit is on - so I just turn the volume all the way down on FM mode instead of powering down the head unit so I don't lose the clock.

Brockley

04-17-2009, 02:16 PM

well, im starting along the path of making my box for the spare tire. Not sure if Im gonna make this box for a single or dual 10"s yet, but i've cut out a template and im going to cut out some MDF for the top panel today. im trying to figure out the airspace, since I'll be fiberglassing the bottom, this wont be an exact number, but i want it to be close. Plus, the Amp will be down there...

damnit, I have to many projects!!!

If anyone else has done this in a wagon, I would love to hear some feedback about how the floor panel interacts with the sound. I cant see it being any different than a back seat really, but i guess I'll find out soon!!!

05-04-2009, 05:41 PM

ok, so after some calculations, i'm kinda stumped as to a precise number for the airspace in the wheel well...
my measurements are the spare well are (rounded to nearest .5 inch)
top of well 27"x27"
bottom of well 21"x23"
depth of most parts 7.5"
a 1.5" high ring around the spare tire mounting point 6"x9"

im figuring it to be around 2.4 cubic feet

and then I use fiberglass and .75 MDF for a lid... so we could say maybe 2.2 Cubic feet after all done?
i guess I need to find somewhere else to run the amp, since my speakers want 1.1 ft... which works out about perfect if my calculations are correct...

maybe I can pull up the panel on the drivers side floor, pull out the foam the panel rests on, and replace it with MDF. then the amp could live under that panel, and it would still be strong...

/random thoughts

I built a custom sub box for the rear of my wagon and it fits two Rockford Fosgate low profile 10" subs perfectly and you only lose 6" of depth. The sub box fits right behind the rear seat and fills the entire storage area, so you toss the carpet back over it and nobody even knows it is there (I also cover the subs with 1/4" perforated stainless steel mesh so you can use the storage space). There is about 20" of space at the front of the box and before the rear of the seat, so I integrated the amplifier/capacitor storage into the whole unit, that takes care of where to put your amplifier. I don't have good photos right now, but I've posted a link to one of them so you get the idea. My '90 wagon was rear ended about 1 1/2 years ago and it was a writeoff (I had the paint from the other car's hood on the bottom of my fuel tank!), but I have a JDM '94 Legacy Wagon EJ20H coming into port next week and all of my stereo equipment from the '90 will be going into that. I'll post a complete listing of my setup once it is finished.

phoenix gold tweeters
kenwood 3-way 6.5s in front and rear
tv sunvisors
2 Alpine v12 amps 400w
2 audiopipe 12's in a bandpass box

also have compustar remote start security system w/ 2way paging remote, remote paging system, remote trunk release, and window rollup modules.

future plans are a complete fiberglass enclosure with all new subs amps and speakers. Probably going to use Vibe audio since it is a line we sell at work and I can get for really cheap. I will also be adding more tv monitors and probably an Xbox 360.

install? you mean you didnt do it. that would have shaved another 500 off. i have mid grade soundstream everything (soundstream itself is already high quality) except the deck and i only paid 1300 for all mine

stu-nami

03-11-2010, 03:03 AM

actual install was only 300...i had the cost of the alpine amp in that price, (misstype) still everything is incredible the highs extemely crisp although it could use some more mid punch but i think some dynamat or something along those lines in he next few months will clarify that up a bit, and my eclipse's are out of this world for being just 10's...i threw in a cd of the scorpions mixed with electric light orchestra and it sounds like a concert hall...also watch some x-men origins with the dvd display and sounds like i'm sittin in my uncles 8000$+ entertainment room...although we have different equipment you get what you pay for...my deck has navigation, xm, sirius, dvd, bluetooth, ipod, etc. all that would cost you roughly 800 in addition to your car if you go purchase them seperately on top of the price you paid for your deck so that would make us pretty close to even price wise

03-11-2010, 10:02 AM

well and i didnt tell you that ive know the owner of the audio shop for about 7 years. so if anyone else walked in and got exactly what i got, it would be around 2k for them. i get crazy discounts cause he'll call me up at random times and need my help with an install (he doesnt have installers on staff...pursay) and he doesnt pay me for my help, he just gives me mad discounts on stuff. like one time i helped him with some easy stuff. and he knows my gf loves pink, plus he likes her anyway. so he threw me a pink LED underbody kit for her blazer for free. and it was the slimline LEDs instead of the big bulky tubes so it wasnt a cheap kit. thats why all my freinds come to me for audio cause they know i get discounts. but even still certain stuff gets kinda pricey. but like you said, you pay for what you get.

Haha thanks, I have thought about making some extra boxes and selling them. but not sure if there are ppl who would spend the 150+ for supplies and add in the cost of my time (almost a week, time after work). Ill post it up if i decide to make others.

Here is my very budget audio system. Whole thing cost me 60 bucks.

Specs:
-Stock Headunit
-Bazooka CSW1004 10" sub
-Rockford Fosgate Punch 100 Amplifier
-Scosche 680 Watt Wiring Kit
-Xscorpion LCO12.2R Line Out Converter
-"Unknown Brand" Sealed Box

System pushes between 100-150 Watts. This is not a lot but the mixture of the premium stock speakers and the boxes characteristics makes the system sound very full.

Has any one tried to fit any bigger than 6.5" in the doors... Far as i can see, you should be able to fit 8" with some triming along the edges?

Wiscon_Mark

06-22-2013, 08:39 AM

Potentially, yes. There's a guy on the Subaru Forester forums that makes custom speaker spacers, and he can do 8" with the right vehicle.

My Forester's audio system:

JVC Arsenal KDA735BT CD Receiver
Sound Ordinance 8" underseat sub
Polk audio 6.5" speakers (I run the front speakers only)

replaced both the stock radio and CD player (CD didn't work) in my 99 SUS 30th Ed. with my old Pioneer DEH-6400BT and got a storage cubby. (then had the cubby installed ABOVE the radio... I deliver a lot of canned drinks. easier to see stereo)

Now, can anyone point me to the thread where it talks about replacing the stock unpowered antenna with a MODERN antenna from a newer Subaru?

Also, anyone got a clue where I could find a replacement microphone for my stereo? I mentioned the model number above.

Decided trying to hack together a solution to keep the mcintosh setup was a waste of time so went all out and spent a lot more than I really should have ;)

JDM double din fascia kit
Headunit: Alpine IVE-W554ABT
Speakers: Polk MM series Front components & rear coaxials w/ JBL GTO1004 amp
Sub: Rockford Fosgate Punch P1 12" sub w/ Rockford Fosgate Prime 1200d amp

Was a super tight fit for the speakers, the rears sit about 5mm from the door card mesh and even less clearance from the windows when down. But it works and I'm damn happy with the result

One of the many all nighters surrounded by chaos required to get this thing done

I have a Kienzle 1016BT head unit and these Polk DXi6501 front and rear.

https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2015/02/E6jMd7ujpg1-1.jpg

Didn't go for the OEM tweeter location in the front doors since I wanted it to be uniform for all four doors. I know they should be higher but I don't care.

https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2015/02/jmJ2Suyjpg1-1.jpg

Unfortunately my snows were out of balance so badly when I first put them on that 3 out of the four doors quick working. I'm assuming the wires were shaken loose, and it's too cold to do anything about it right now. I'm considering either an under-seat sub or wheel well sub since I don't want a box in the rear.
