Impreza Wagon install advice

Hi

I'm new to here. Hoping to get some good advice. My little Bro just bought his first car 2006 Impreza Wagon. Its been a while since I played with car sound systems. He wants good quality sound but no visible signs that a good system has been installed.(Except for HU) Amp and sub under seat door speakers. I am thinking of a Pioneer dvd head unit. I was thinking of using Focal Speakers but not sure. looking at spending around 3k.

Even installed, $3k is a heap to spend.

I'm doing the install Myself wiring is no problem. 1k for HU the rest for Amp and speakers. Quality sound is the goal. There's so many brands these days.

The front door speakers may require adaptors (pretty easy to make). But apart from that, the amount you're spending, you shouldn't have any issues with quality. Just remember to sound deaden and insulate the car.

But depending on your area of residence, I'd think twice about spending that much on audio lol. Just make sure you get very good (heavy) front speakers.

Can't really go wrong with Focal (I think the factory sub can be replaced with a Focal one with minimal mods, or maybe that's a Liberty thing).

      GOT SUM's RB34

      This morning I carefully reinstalled the manifold and started looking at a couple of things I need to do.  Heat wrap arrived sometime today so I popped into the shed with the missus dishwashing gloves and started wrapping the first half of the dump and the screamer/plumb back.  Once I do the second half I'll be able to final fit the turbo and exhaust up.  Also pulled the harness out today and started terminating it at the ECU end. A connector is done, just need to run the remaining wires that arent in the harness - 12v, gnd and couple I/O

      Thanks for all the replies! I also wanted to ask if wheels that were fitted on Ford Falcons would fit the 350GTs as well? In the area I'm at there aren't that many options for secondhand wheels and new ones here are way out of my budget. From what I've seen, most of the wheels that are available that were fitted on Ford Falcons have an offset of +33 to +36, with a centre bore of 70.5mm whereas the stock 350GT's ones are 66mm, can't seem to find any hubcentric rings that fit that difference though.

      215/45/18 tyres are probably a little on the low side compared to the factory tyre, it should be closer to a 245/45/19, which will get you about an extra 11mm of height, and should make you speedo read a bit closer to reality. 245/45/19s will be a bit too far the other way and you risk a speeding ticket as your speedo might read slower than your actual speed.  245/40/19s would be correct if you are going to 19in rims, they will give you a similar total diameter to the 245/45/18 tyres.

      That's something I forgot to put in my list. The aggressive anti-squat in R32 is a f**king menace. I still need to decide if I'm going to drag the subframe out of my car and weld in the GKTech corrector kit. The main reason to dither is the need to switch to spherical joints in the lower arm to account for the twist induced in the rear pivot caused by lowering the front pivot. And yes...we do put better subframes in R32s, and I wish I'd gotten an S14 one instead of an A31 when I did the "take off and nuke it from orbit" HICAS delete all those years ago.
