Audio upgrade for 2016 WRX
I have stock non HK audio. The sound wasn’t that good and I listened to my friend and added a Pioneer TS-WH500A under seat subwoofer. http://www.crutchfield.com/p_130TSWH...h500a&skipvs=T I found out the sound still not ideally so I read many forums and finally decided below.
Front speaker and tweeter Polk Audio db6501 http://www.crutchfield.com/p_107DB65...io-db6501.html Rear speakers Polk Audio DB652 http://www.crutchfield.com/p_107DB65...dio-DB652.html Amplifier Alpine KTP-445U http://www.crutchfield.com/p_500KTP4...ower-Pack.html Free from Crutchfield for buying speakers Metra Wiring Harnesses http://www.crutchfield.com/p_1207103...Harnesses.html I quoted with the professional installer they will charge $50 per door for 4 doors will be $200 without the tweeter. I opened doors before so installation by myself for the speakers aren’t any problems. The only thinks is the fitting. Here are my questions: 1) Is there any universal speaker bracket that you guys use that I can just plug and play? (I read so many but now confuse which one to use) 2) I actually like the Pioneer GM-D8604 http://www.crutchfield.com/p_130GMD8...D8604&skipvs=T it gives 100watts x4 channels instead of Alpine KTP-445U but Pioneer is huge and bad reviews on reliability. Did anyone install it and where you hide it? Which one is the best? 3) My under seat Pioneer subwoofer has only 50watts RMS. I want to upgrade to 150 watts RMS Kicker 11HS8 http://www.crutchfield.com/p_20611HS...11HS8&skipvs=T is the wire plug and play? .

Get the breakout harness from ae64. I just installed a 5 channel amp last week and it made it much much easier.

I installed Polk DB6501 components in the front doors and dash which I am running off the Pioneer GM-D8604 which I have mounted under the driver seat. Check out my thread for pics of the install and links to the parts I used (including the speaker mounts). So far, I have had zero problems with the amp. I currently have the rear channels bridged running a subwoofer, but I am about to add a Pioneer GM-D8601 for the sub and add some DB651 to the rear doors. As for the Polk components, I think they sound great.

He specializes in subaru vehicles. They fit without problems for me and seem high quality. They're pricey but you don't have to drill any new holes. |
