    Toss the Soundstream sub out the window and pick up a DD1508. Tiny but pack more punch than 99% of subs you'll ever hear.

    but just out of interest do you run these yourself how big is your enclosure any Pics

    Not today, but have just sorted out getting pictures :-\ ... couple of weekends ago put in some Tein springs and a Kakimoto axle-back muff. Got the parts cheap, put em in myself, stoked with the result!

    nice car nice rime nice deal mate Nice!!!!

  3. although you can do it this way you also need prior access to the car the same remote as the installed alarm and the keys to the car which most thieves wont have (unless it someone you know ripping you off)its pretty easy to clone any remote, spectrum analysers can do it and they are readily available for purchase to most people dirty little theiving bastards just wait till you push your alarm scan the airwaves with the spectrum analyser and change the oscillator in a unversal remote to the frequency the spectrum analyser has just picked up and voila bobs your uncle and your carless it sounds like hollywood bulls*** but its all true you can even google it the only way around this is with what they call rolling codes everytime you arm your alarm the code or frequency changes each time slightly making this method useless autowatch is a good alarm I have it and my car is still here still cost about what was quoted for this one but hey whats a lil bit of cash for peace of mind the 446 rli is the model number 5 star approved so good for insurance failing all this a pitbull will deter any bastard[

    Gonna install some springs soon just looking for tips and advice, have done it before but not in a subaru besides there could be some hints from all you subby lovers that could make my job easier was going to repack the grease in the shocks as well as seen in a post on here somewhere... Also any one know the torque settings for the strut tops etc etc

    I've got some good install pics for what I've done, but probably too much work for what you'd want to do, unless you're good with fibreglass. Unfortunately I don't have the net where I've just moved to so I can't upload pics, but will do in a few days when it's connected up. It's a box that is glassed into the side of the boot, with a 10" sub in a ported box. Took a bit of work and quite a bit of working out, but got it in the end. My sub is a very SQ oriented and it's in a 1.3 cu. ft. box but it's ported, otherwise I could've used a 1cu. ft. box.

    Interested to see what you have done I am doing it properly so its not an eye sore when the trunk is popped. I didnt wanna block off the corners of the boot as this will block access to the tail lights if i ever need to get at them was thinking of slim lining it along the back of the rear seat so I can screw back to the supports at the top also so the sub is firing to the back past experiences have given good results with it facing this way. Also was thinking about a false floor seen as though I have a 17inch wheel as my spare and flush mounting the amp in the corner covered in perspex, maybe lighting? any other ideas? Im all ears

    bro isn't the components enough lol are you running them off an amp?

    nah just want that little bit of a kick as well havent had a sub in the last 3 cars Ive had so want to get back into some quality sounds. had the gear sitting around for the last 3 years the Ball and chain said to use it or lose it... And yup gonna amp em the alpine mrvf545 can do 125wrms for the two fronts with 500wrms bridged rear not a bad amp at all really
  7. need ideas for the box will make it myself want to be able to get the spare out and fit a pram in the boot when needed from time to time.Want a good looking job not just a amp and box floating round in the boot anhy pictures of other members car installs would be great

    System as follows

    6.5 infinty kappa 60.5cs components front stage

    Stock rear door speakers (only the kids in the back)

    1 12 inch pwc soundstream sub

    AlpineMrv F545 amp

    aiming for SQ more than outright noise soundstream recommend 3.0cuft for the box willing to go just a bit under maybe 1.5 cuft minimum.....Am I dreaming that I can do this or os it possible

    I had a bigger rear ones an it made the car more neutral at turn in

    If u want to get one thN rear is best to do also a rear strut brace is a good idea too

    If u want better handling get sme coilovers and adjust to suit as that can pretty much be dialed to what u prefer and also ride height as a bonus

    When I had my coil overs and rear sway bar the car was very very responsive at turn in and felt very taut umm poised I guess

    Right on I'm with ya, coilovers seem a bit much for a street car though Papps will see how my hook up pans out just got some H&R springs and have heard nothing but good about em cant wait to get this stuff in

    not so much what i want it to do what will it do is what im asking you could say and which is the better way to go

    /quote]

    If you don't know what you want to change about the handling characteristics, then why do you want to change the setup?

    Cause i have access to some whiteline stuff at a good price would you pass it up on the cheap
