Subimods said they put in a 5 pin relay instead of the Hella 4 pin cuz the 5 pin works better. Mine are very loud and always worked so I never touched the harness cuz I love the quality of their harness.

If it works without issues then that is good. Whether the 5 pin relay is better than the factory OEM Hella relay I am not going to debate but the Subimods wiring harness was well done. Maybe the supplier of the Subimods 5 pin relay may had a quality issue and I got a defective unit and used the OEM one instead.

Ur right, if it works then it's all good. The only reason I say the 5 pin is better than the 4 pin is because that is what Subimods says on their site to selk the harness. So who knows if its true or just a selling gimmick.

Would a different number of pins cause different/better sound?

Hey guys,
Can somebody take a look at their windshield wipers in the front for me and tell me if the passenger side rests on the defroster/heater? I just noticed today that the passenger one sits higher up. it is not perfectly aligned with the defroster/heater strips... |

Hey guys I just got a brand new 2013 WRX and I'm looking to replace the sound system with something a bit nicer. I was curious what others had been putting in their car for door speakers, and where I might put a 12' sub in the car. I wanted to avoid the trunk but I'll go there if need be.
Past that any other suggestions you might have. I obviously don't want to void the warranty but any suggestions aesthetic or otherwise that might make the car more enjoyable for me would be greatly appreciated! Thanks |

I thought I remembered someone saying that the front seats from a WRX wouldn't fit our 4th Gen Impreza. I can't seem to find the post/information about it. What's different between the mounting points for those seats? I'm just curious because I have an opportunity to get a set of 'em for cheap from a guy who just put racing seats in.

Mine did initially. I loosened the but and moved it down a tad then tightened the screw. Now it is perfect.

http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PU...ries/TS-A1674R I'm pretty happy with them, but they seem to have a bit less bass than the stock speakers did. Go figure. Thinking of getting a sub at some point to fix that problem. Since upgrading my system, I've heard that Polk Audio is the way to go for speakers. Re. sub: I'd see what the previous model Impreza guys are doing, since their cars should be more similar to yours than the 2012+ imprezas. |

I figured i might have turned it off before it could settle back into position, but i went in the car, turned it on again, and turned it off. It still rests too high...

Has anyone installed upgraded endlinks, such as those from Kartboy? I have read elsewhere on wrx/sti forums that they dramatically improve handling, and I'm a bit tentative to put a bigger sway bar on the back without them. Losing an endlink in a turn isn't really my idea of safe. Do you fellows think upgraded endlinks will help much with a 19mm sway (which I have) or should I throw a strut tower brace on there and call it a day?

I figured I'd duct tape from behind & use some epoxy. Glad to hear there's a kit for this. @Flyboy do you just drill a larger hole at the very end of the crack & that stops it from cracking further? |

^this must have just happened as I changed my oil about a month ago and would have noticed that while crawling underneath my car. I haven't hit anything either, which sucks, and that's what I thought Subaru would say. If it was larger I would probably try my luck at my dealer, but it doesn't seem worth the hassle right now.

This happened to me during the winter and it left a nice crack in my bumper. I didnt hit anything, unless it was a hit and run in my neighborhood. The crack is above the fog light void.
