Anyone here try to do the swap themselves?
all indications are that the audio system is identical to previous generations, so all the same rules as a 2020 brz apply.

there was a minor alteration with the brz limited/premium where the limited gets the same speakers as the pervious gen limited, but the premium drops the dash midrange speakers. but still have a door 'sub' amp, still tweeters in the dash, and still 3" speakers in the rear seats.

really shouldn't 'absolutely need' a sub unless you really want the seats shaking. a plenty-decent sound system can be put together without a sub...
