What kind of sound are you looking for and how much do you want to spend? The front speakers should be replaced with the best you can budget --but even $50 speakers would be a huge improvement. I wouldn't bother replacing the rear as even a brand-name 4" will still suck for full-range performance. They can fill in the midrange and treble nicely if you have a subwoofer, though.

A good filler but you have to adjust [tune] it, volume and hi-cut, to you liking.

If the car were a lot quieter, I could enjoy the audio system a whole lot more.

Keep the the WRX TR, WRX and STI about the same; just add this comfort feature to the Limited trim lines.

What I'd suggest is ejecting all of the CDs and starting over again. See if a single one inserted will play.
After that, I might disconnect the battery to cycle power to the head unit.
Just some ideas. Good luck.
I think you are mistaking me for someone else.

There must be a misunderstand. I do not see a post by paisan with that referrence in this thread nor have I ever seen him post anything of that nature before. Please feel free to email me directly at [email protected] to discuss this if you feel I have over looked something. In the meantime I do have to delete your posts with insults and inapporpriate verbage.
OK so anyway having a problem with radio stations coming in, radio was fine when we left dealership, but next day we turned on radio and it was crackling. So we turned it off. Next day radio worked, but reception and volumn was inconsistent, in and out as we drove on interstate for 4 hours, It would fade as we drove, but at a complete stop it came in. in town same thing.
Today it plays fine, but occasionally it fades just slightly. think it might be antenna?
DVD player plays movie, but when the people in movie talk they sound like their in a cave? After we ejected movie radio went back to being static and crackle interference?
CDs play and sound fine.
we have subwoofer.
have to say my h3 sound system was and sounded better then Subarus, but I'm still happy and excited about our trade!
any opinions and help would be appreciated!
Love the wrx just what we needed all around, solid little performer, fun!

I'm awaiting delivery on my new WRX and it is to come with a ten speaker system. Exactly where are these speakers located? I can see front, door, rear door and back behind the rear seats as possiblilities but where's the other two? Are there separate tweets and woofs for some speakers? I assume there's no sub? That would make more sense to me rather than a mess of smaller speakers that can't handle lower frequencies. Thanks in advance, B
While I had the radio out I had the dealer install the iPod kit. $180.. the dealer claimed to have given me a good price. With all the good free service I got I since I bought the car I felt I should pay up and enjoy it. I am learning how to work the iPod through the steering wheel radio controls.
May report on the iPod kit when I figure it out.

I do not have heated seats however or anything extra that would have been plugged into something else.
I have a hunch it may be related to the stereo system in those models.
Still in the grief stage over my 2005 LegacyGT -- turbocharger blew and while we're still awaiting final word on whether it wrecked the engine in the process (mind you, exactly 5 years + 4 months after the car was purchased), chances are high that I need a new car. :sick: I loved that car.
Since $$ is a little tight (2 in college!) I've basically decided to go with either the Impreza 2.5i + premium package or the Outback Sport, both hatchback with 5spd manual. While it won't be nearly as fun as the GT, at least it looks like a nice driving car as I want to stick with the AWD (live in the NE).
In any case, my husband feels terrible about all this and has offered to get the sound system upgraded. In the Legacy this was almost impossible, but it seems that Subaru has made this a bit easier of late? I looked all over the web and almost all of the aftermarket HU discussions are about WRXs. Crutchfield came up with both single and double DIN models -- really confusing.
Has anyone done this and give me some input? I'd love to have integrated XM and ipod input (don't need the latter on the steering wheel -- really expensive).
Thanks for any input.

I single DIN head unit would fit, but then you'd have to buy something to fill up the gap left behind. A black face plate or maybe some storage.
Crutchfield has great service, I'm sure they can offer a complete solution, including harnesses that plug-and-play.
