Just picked up a new WRX yesterday. This is the first sports car I've ever owned and I can't stop driving it. I'm having a problem keeping the RPM's bellow 4000 for the first 1000 miles! It's some form of sick torture, here’s the car just don't drive it...

I do have a question, I got the stock model and I'm thinking about adding the sub to it. Is it worth it or just enjoy the stock radio?

thanks

 

Mine came with the sub upgrade so I couldn't tell you how big the difference is.

All I can say is I have the radio tunred off most of the time anyway because I always try to tune-in to the engine/turbo
sounds.

 

I find most people like to add a custom system rather than go w/ Subaru. depends on how bad *** you want to get w/ your stereo. i know a guy w/ a nice RS. alpine head, 10" rockford (strapped in to the trunk of course!) and a small jbl amp. nice setup, not too much weight, and good sound.

I haven't heard the factory stereo setup, but your almost always better of going aftermarket. You can pick exactly what you want tailored to your music preference & usually spend less than what the factory charges.
just my 2 cents!

 

I went with an upgraded system and it sounds alot better. It just depends on how much you want to spend. I have 2 12inch JL subs and you can hear rattleing in your cabin.

 

I got the upgraded system in my rex but still sounded like crap to me. I installed an Alpine head unit and Fosgate amp under the drivers seat with two 10" fosgate subs in the trunk. Sounded awful. I had so much trunk rattle that the next day I pulled the subs and the amp and sold them for half of what I paid.
I can get used to getting in tune with the engine/ turbo.
