The standard one that we get isn't, so if it is rimless, it'll be the only one in the US that is..

Sucks that there's no trunk net. I might get the trunk tray and would probably get the rear bumper applique to protect the bumper from throwing my hockey gear in and out of the car.

The sub may be worth getting if it is tucked out of the way like the one pictured above, that way you can still retain your fold down seats. Putting a big box in the trunk ruins any versatility the car had.

Anyone have any experiance with subarus add on subs?

No experience with theirs. I do have two infinity basslinks sitting around so I'll likely throw one of those in the car to have a little bit of low end.

Thats why i want to go with the factory version. Hopefully it will be molded in.

Its at least kicker so i doubt itll be the worst sub ever.

Maybe ill be brave and just order it anyway :P Ill review it when i get the car

Can't you do a aftermarket custom setup that would be cheaper/same price for a better setup?

Audio Integrationsmakes great molded setups.

I think it's the compact design that is appealing. Don't wanna mess with finding a place to hide the amp, getting a box custom molded to that area, plus the sub itself, I think it would be hard to do all that for less than 500 bucks.

Yep and both my car and my parents car have had audio problems before.

I dont want to add a aftermarket sub and then have some part of the audio system mess up for whatever reason. My local subaru dealers are picky about that sort of stuff so ill just the factory one.

Plus itll be convient, itll be installed and ready the day i pick it up. I wont have to take it anywhere, order parts, get it installed exc exc

Thanks for the info! What the heck is a 'rear under spoiler?' Also, I assume the trunk tray is a mat of some kind.

It's probably a fake rear diffuser.

I've seen a black plastic trim that goes under the exhaust and fake diffuser. More fake stick on nonsense. That entire accessory list is overpriced nonsense.

Generally agree. The fitted trunk mat can be nice (I'd prefer a trunk net to hold loose stuff though) and the bumper applique can be nice *IF* it's clear for those of us who throw large objects in the trunk a lot (like I will be doing, at least twice a week for hockey games).

All of those other stickers and junk are definately junk.
