Installing Audio updates in my 07 WRX TR, what do I need?
So I purchased a used Alpine CDE-102 headunit from craigslist. $50. Anyway, the guy kept the wiring harness, do I have to go buy one for my WRX? Also, I bought two factory Subwoofers from an 02 WRX to hook into my car. Will they also plug into this headunit okay as well? Anything else am I going to need? These are the only two upgrades I want to do....adding the two floor subs and the upgraded single din CDE-102.
TLDR: do i need to buy anything besides the headunit itself to plug and play with two 02 factory subs?

do I need another amp for the subwoofer(s)? I thought it would just plug into the factory one? i dont need the subs to have a lot of power, and im really not trying to go crazy modding the audio.
If I bought the headunit new, would it come with a wire harness? The guy said he has a wire harness that hes not including, said it was plugged into some 70s oldsmobile. |

Didn't see the oem enclosure part... But no, you wont need amp and amp kit. Just the wire harness that comes with the enclosure. The alpine comes with a wire harness that connects into the radio.. The vehicle side wire harness will be sold separate. metra part # is 70-8901 the dash kit will be a 88-00-9000.

awesome. So with the Alpine head unit, I need to get the metra wiring harness and a dash kit t so itll all fit nice and snug and connect without any cutting. I think it will fit even without getting a dash kit, so i may try while waiting on shipping of one.
And to connect the factory subs (from 02 wrx) to my stock 07 WRX TR amp, all I need is the wiring harnesses from those stock subs (which the guy is selling with the subs). Sounds pretty easy. |
