Blob stereo, Awful....
Hi Guys
Got a UK blobeye last night but the stereo is awful, it's horrible to use and the speakers are busted so the sound is lame.
What Facia have you guys used to install an aftermarket stereo?
What size are the standard speakers to save me taking off the door cards to measure?
Also any pics of your aftermarket stereos will be great
Thanks

like you ive just got a uk blobeye wrx and ive had the same issue.
Ive just fitted a new pioneer double din headunit, and sounds so much better - just needed an ISO lead that i got off ebay for £3 delivered.
Didnt require a fascia for it, i fyou go single din then you will need one.

If Subaru stay true, the standard speakers are 13cm.
In mine (classic) I have Sony 3-way 165mm ones in the front, they fit with spacers. I made my own from 18mm mdf, cut out with a jigsaw, I used the sony template for the inside and the existing speaker mount for the outside. The painted thickly with three coats of emulsion against damp, they have been OK so far.
The rears can take 6x9's mine are, again, Sony 3-way, fitted from above with the same mdf spacers, lozenge shaped, themselves covered in grey ICE cloth to match the rear shelf. They bolt through using M5 x 50mm stainless caphead Allen screws and nyloc nuts with washers underneath.
You CAN mount from underneath, but it's a clat getting them right, drilling etc etc.
Try that first. I chose Sony speakers in a blind test at Halfords with my then 13 year old lad helping, I just liked the sound better than the others
Change speakers first, then headunit if needed.
I now also have an Alpine underseat active sub, it fits half under the passenger seat in the rear, held down with velcro, can easily be removed by undoing two plugs and pulling it free if I NEED the space.
HTH.

Thanks Lads, Dan which one did you go for, any pics?
Alcazar, Im going to change the headunit too, I am a proper music bod so need USB/MP3 capability and even using the standard stereo winds me up
EDIT: Just bought speaker adaptors for the front off ebay, £9.50 with the speaker looms too

The older version of the one you posted (had it in my old car) - they can be had for around £90 new now (paid £99 from halfords when it was on sale 12 months ago - cant see the spec has changed, just the looks of it) Pioneer - FHX700BT

So I cant tell the quality that well, have to turn my hearing aid off when I turn it up and the quality is more than good enough for me.
