    I have a 2016 Outback. I spilled a lot of water on my passenger side floor board and my stereo has not worked since. I got a used amp off of eBay and plugged it in and that didn’t work either. I don’t know if it’s because it didn’t work in general or if there is another issue potentially. Has...

    Just bought a 24 wilderness outback. Just love it. Mpg with 2.4 turbo not so good, fast but under 17mpg. I am trying to figure out what the premium sound consists of. Did Subaru just swap speakers to harmon karden and call it good. Do I have 12 of them with the 500+ watt amp like on earlier...

    Hey all, today I decided to embark on the process of wiring an amp and sub up to go along with my JDM head unit and aftermarket speakers. Unfortunately after getting everything wired up my amp will not start with my head unit. I verified my power cable from the battery is getting voltage, as...

    Anyone have a favorite spot or ideas to put a small amp for a single subwoofer? I’ve noticed there’s not too much extra space available and don’t want to drill into anything in the open or obstruct any space for car camping/hauling. Under front seat(s)? Any room underneath backseats for 4th...

    I have only installed a sub woofer and head unit to a simple car, I believe a old Toyota Corolla. I am broke and in high school, so not looking to pay a shop to do it for me. I am looking for any help I can get with installing the sub and amp. I believe that I can put the power wire through the...

    Background: I have 2016 Subaru Outback 3.6R Limited with factory Harman Kardon. I want to replace the head unit with an aftermarket brand (e.g. Kenwood, Pioneer, Alpine still shopping) to get wireless CarPlay. Initially I will keep the factory speakers. My Questions: 1. What are the audio...

    VEHICLE INFO: 2011 Subaru Outback, originally Non-Nav, H/K sound system with amplifier. So recently I replaced the head unit in my wife's outback from the Non-Nav unit, to an upgraded touch screen unit with Apple Car Play. (It was the DUAL DCPA701) It was fairly standard process of matching...

    Hey, so I recently installed a couple amps in my 2021 outback. A year ago I added an 800 watt mono amp with a 12 in sub in the back. The amp pulled from the wiring running to the rear speakers. That worked great and caused no issues. I later replaced both pairs of the door speakers with kickers...

    2020 Subaru Outback Onyx I recently had the Rockford Fosgate upgrade installed. i'm looking to install an amp and sub in the back. instead of pulling the head unit off again, I was thinking of tying the line out converter into the harness from the rockford amp. Has anyone done this? is there a...

    Hi all, The question: Can you run a powered/ active sub from an external amplifier or is that just stoopid? The story: Recently bought a 2nd hand '06 OB. The rear speakers were fried so replaced 'em with some half-decent 30W rms 6.5" kenwood's from Supercheap. Turned the stereo on and they...

    My radio died the other day - no sound at all. Tried a few things but no luck. Bright it to the dealership because I thought it might be an issue with the head unit and covered under the class action extended warranty. Dealership says it's the amplifier that needs to be replaced which is not...

    The amplifier under the passenger seat got water-soaked from a rain leak in my 2014 Outback Ltd. 2.5 4-cylinder with Harmon Karman stereo. We turned on the radio and heard and smelled an electrical short sizzle. I replaced the amplifier but the stereo still makes no sound, although the head unit...

    My 2014 Outback Ltd. 2.5 4-cylinder with Harmon Karman stereo failed spectacularly after California's mega-rainstorm in October. After the storm, just before we heard water sloshing around in the rear passenger footwell, we had turned on the radio, only to have it quickly go from staticky to...

    Hello, so I am in the process of relocating my two amplifiers in my 2003 Outback, which currently reside behind the rear seats in the cargo area, mounted on a piece of wood that is toggle clamped to the underside of a bed platform I built. I want to be able to remove this bed platform when I...

    Hello All, I own a 2016 Subaru Outback with he Harmon/Kardon stereo system. I want to add a line out converter after the Harmon/Kardon amplifier. If I can avoid it I don't want to cut the speaker wires. Does anyone know if there is a wire harness adapter I can plug into the speaker out end of...

    I thought I would do a write-up about my experience in upgrading the audio system in my 2014 Outback Limited. First, I replaced the stock radio with a Pioneer DMH-C2550NEX. I am very pleased with this model, but if I had the money, I think I would look for one with wireless android auto. It...

    Hi Everyone, a stopped up sunroof drain filled the rear passenger seat well and then fried my amplifier. I want to replace it with an aftermarket amplifier, but need the specs. To replace it with the Harman Kardon amp is over $400 if I do all the labor myself. The part number is 86221AL71A...

    Hello, I have a Gen 4 2014 Subaru Outback. I just bought a used amp and I'm trying to do the installation myself, however I do not know the specs for the market radio. If someone could tell me if I require a Line Output converter and if I do, what kind would work best. This would be very...

    Hello, I am getting a 2003 Subaru Legacy Outback within the next few weeks, and one of the first upgrades I am doing on it is installing a subwoofer and amplifier. Currently... the Subwoofer I'm looking at now is a Kicker CompRT and it's an 8" sub with a radiator. Then, the amplifier I'm...
