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).

Cheers for the reply I was going to dynamat  the doors and seal them. Should I do it anywhere else.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.

      So 10/10 times that code is coil packs? I mean if that's the case ill drop the $400USD or so to replace them. I didn't know these cars threw codes before the issue became an issue.
