1) Disconnect the ground cable from the battery.

not much to go on but all I can find

D'oh.

2010 Diesel. Came with the vehicle.

I didn't realise they have been standard for a while.

Out of interest do Subies generally have an audio system 'a cut above' in the later models? I seem to remember seeing articles extolling the virtues of the standard systems.

I don't know about the 2010 model but in mine it was a poor excuse for a subwoofer , more like a 6x9 speaker. Replaced it with a 8" sub in the same location some people have even managed a 10" in there

this is what the stockie looks like

No, not really. All OME stuff is built to a price point.

Save the MacIntosh systems end in the high-end Libeties. Very nioce...

what an awesome sub.. I'm guessing you didn't win any sound-off competitions with that

Here's another sub-woofer in a Foz
