Subaru of America, Inc. is pleased to announce the addition of a Subwoofer for the 2013 model year BRZ to our Genuine Subaru Accessories line-up. The Subwoofer provides a deep base and also assists in clean sound reproduction from all vehicle speakers. This is achieved by its integrated 100 watt amplifier and a passive crossover network.


The subwoofer is manufactured for Subaru by Kicker®.

The 2013 BRZ Subwoofer may be port installed under the following: Port code: DEA


Port-installed dealer cost is $499.99 and port-installed MSRP is $599.00.

The Subwoofer may be purchased for dealer installation under the following
part number: H630SCA000.

Sweet Jesus, this is the latest 'available late 4th quarter' item I have ever seen. About time...............:party0030:

Wonder if it's plug and play...

Found this installation guide and it looks like it is plug and play. I wonder how much it will cost without installation.

wow that is far more involved than I thought it would be!

Does the crossover limit the bass going to the door speakers? If so that would be great.

The only thing that really bugs me about my car is the door panels vibrating because of the bass.

It really doesn't look that difficult. Hard part is just running the wiring harness to the head unit. Would be nice if they preinstalled the wiring harness from the factory and just tucked it away in the trunk similar to what they did for the homelink mirror plug being tucked away in the headliner.

I'm excited about the "deep base"

Right, that's exactly what I referring to. I'm glad they offer it; no doubt it will be better than the optional under-seat sub they use on their other cars.

I wouldn't be surprised if that makes it into the base wiring harness of future BRZs if they sell well.

I watched a video on an aftermarket subwoofer install that was done exactly the same way as described in those instructions lol

Was thinking of getting the oem audio plus system 400+. Wonder if this will be equivalent or better.

I would assume that this will be better sounding than the underseat subwoofer. Hmmm, this would be a nice addition.

sweet find im definitely going to keep my eye out for this.

Just talked to the parts guy at my local dealership, Retail on this guy is $641.99 and its already at the warehouse so they seem to be available.
