Few questions regarding door cards and speakers
 
Howdy All

First question whats the standard speakers on a Subaru. I have a Kenwood cd player which is 4x45w and on 65-75% volume theres a load of distortion. Anyone recommend a better set of speakers that will fit a MY01 classic wagon.

Secondly how do you remove the door panel lol!!! I took out 4 screws but have no idea where the pins are to wedge it off, any advice much appreciated :P

Do what I've done and fit one of these. Fits perfectly transversly in the space under the passenger seat!:thumb::-

Ripspeed PSR-135A Subwoofer from Halfords Price £39.90

This active sub's phonos except either hi-level speaker input or, if your HU has them, low-level pre-out input.

On the HU, and if it has the pre-outs, set the external sub vol/gain level to max, and the crossover setting to off.

On the sub itself, flick the crossover switch to on, and rotate the crossover knob to min.

Then just set your HU EQ's "BASS" or "LOW" setting to 1/2 to 3/4, to relieve the bass going through the inadequate OEM speakers, to alleviate the distortion.

This underseat sub - certainly for the money! - really does underpin the sound with decent bass (albeit it not really being of audiophile hi-fidelty)

Thanks Joz nice bit of kit there but will it do the job :( ??? Ill put the specs up of my head unit now.

Head unit is the rather cheapo Kenwood KDC-237 I say cheapo its not bad for the price :P

I've just checked your manual online:-

It hasnt got any pre-out round the back so you'd have to splice in extra wires to the speaker loom's rear speakers' R +/- and L +/- wires...
