    Hey Folks, I've been reading through similar forum posts for a few hours but haven't come across the exact answers I'm looking for. I've recently purchased a 2021 Crosstrek Limited with the Harman Kardon Audio package. I'm very happy with the sound, but the bass "feels hollow." When listening...

    Has anyone replaced their stock alternator? I have a 2014 crosstrek, I run a 1000 RMS subwoofer system I have already replaced the battery and upgraded charging cables, I also have a second battery and compasiter. I need something because I have shorted my amp 4 times due to low voltage, I have...

    Hello xv users! Brand new to the forum and I've come for some advice and guidance on doing a full audio upgrade in my 2018 crosstrek (6.5" screen, non-upgraded audio system) which I bought back in April. I'm a bit of an audiophile and mostly listen to bass heavy music. Before buying the...

    Good Morning Everyone! I have seen a few people post already but not a whole lot and i know how much any help can be. So i just spent about my whole night last night running my power and my RCA cables through my Crosstrek. This is me and my wife's first Subaru, and we absolutely love it...

    I had some low profile subs and an amp lying around so I decided to make a fiberglass box to fit under the passenger seat. It looks ugly because I didn't feel like spending an entire weekend sanding it, but it's solid and it sounds great. Also, now my girlfriend sits in the backseat when we take...

    Hello everyone, I just bought my '18 Crosstrek (Limited W/ Harman Kardon) a few weeks ago and want to install my trusty Infinity Basslink in it. I need to tap into the output of the HK amp under the passenger seat. Does anyone have a pinout for the Amp, or know which color wires are for which...

    I wanted to share my project in case it will help anyone else in the future. Pulling parts of the Crosstrek interior out are different from any other Subaru I've owned in the past and had me scratching my head for a bit. I am only going to show the items that I feel are helpful to anyone taking...

    I did this about a year ago, just now getting to posting it... Sorry if I miss a couple details here and there. And I didn't get the idea to post until I was about halfway through, so some disassembly pics are a bit vague. I am pretty sure I began disassembly by taking the vent unit above the...

    Based on reviews and ratings, I am seriously considering getting a couple of these and installing them under the seats and attaching them to the floor pans. The cost is about $40-$50 each and they do not require a lot of wattage so a small cheap amp will drive them. Some reviews state that they...

    I ordered the Kicker Sub for my '15 Crosstrek and the dealer said it wouldn't be compatible with the seatback protector, cargo tray, and full cargo nets I have in there, so I took everything out before going in for the install, and they installed it in just the bare bones carpeted cargo area...

    Hey guys. Not sure if I totally missed it somewhere, but I've been looking around on the internet (and this forum) the last couple of days on a good DIY tutorial for installing a sub when you have the 7" Starlink head unit. Specifically, I was interested in finding out if I was going to have to...
  12. Dealer Service, Maintenance, and Warranty Issues
    Hello everyone! I have a couple questions regarding installing a custom aftermarket subwoofer setup: 1. Will having this done professionally (eg. by Best Buy or the like) void any sort of warranty on the car? And 2. If I was to do this myself (following all electrical codes of course), do any...

    I've got a 2013 Limited that has the 6-Speaker premium audio setup. (kicker speakers and sub-woofer in the back) The speakers are pretty decent and the sub is loud. I've tried tuning the EQ, but I can't figure out how to control the bass from the sub. It doesn't seem to fluctuate with the...

    I know a little about car audio but was wondering if this system will be good and will work together for my subaru 2012 xv I am keeping the stock navi HU and doing these upgrades Alpine PDX-V9 1600W 5 CH Car Amplifier Alpine SWS-12D4 1500W Type S 12" Car Subwoofer Alpine SPS-610G 6.5" 240W 2...

    Hey guys and gals, I was looking for some advice on hooking up an under the seat sub in my XV. I have the following factory head unit installed: From reading around it doesn't look like this unit has any sort of pre-amp output meaning I'd have to tap into my speakers for a connection. I'd be...
