The other easy way is a couple t-taps or even cutting off the connector and using some quick disconnects to revert to...

It really isn't Subaru did not design the car for optimal audio- just look at the rear speaker selection!

With a little massaging, you can fit the 4" Kappa (I BELIEVE) coaxial in the dash. I don't know about the Reference. The install that I saw was a Kappa 4" coax.

3 3/8" mounting depth might be a little deep, even with a 3/4" deep adapter. You might be able to fit a 1" deep adapter in behind the panel without interference, but I can't say for sure.

Maybe. I have never used it. But the Frost King stuff is the same size, is adhesive-backed, and have a foil layer in place. I like it because I can get it locally without the wait.

In the case of the dash location, some small XTC or DEI BoomMat baffles might work. Not necessary, but not a bad idea like baffling midranges in the doors might be.
