They're very comfortable, really soft and durable like you said. We had them in our tC for 5 years and they still looked like new when we traded it in.

I guess I wasn't concerned until you said something!

I'm not sure how much it weighs but the whole box wasn't very heavy... maybe 20-30lbs with all the packing material.

Im hoping they make a system that replaces all the stock speakers.

Is this system louder than stock? Seems im near maxed out on the stock system 90% of the time.

It goes so much louder it's not even comparable to it when it was stock. Before when I was on the freeway I had to have it turned up super high and still could barely hear it over the tire/road noise.

Yeah, I felt the same way before it was installed... thinking is this really going to make a big difference without replacing all the speakers? But it did

turning your frs into a brz..

ravenMTgirl · 09-01-2012, 10:26 PM

Not really... I could have got a BRZ but I like the front of the FR-S better and the 5axis spoiler. Not my fault that Scion cheaped out on little items like the hand brake lever and boot so I'll just add them myself.

dcamco · 09-02-2012, 11:17 AM

Any idea as to whether this kit will work on the BRZ too?

I feel same way, love the front of the car. Scion did not cheap out, they just left you to bling your way.... it is all good.

It has a plug and play harness for the Scion base and bespoke HU, but isn't the one in the BRZ a completely different brand? I thought I saw one that's specifically for the BRZ on Subaru Online Parts.

That's a good way to think about it

Nice sub. : ) I never knew they could be so compact... I always envisioned subs taking up half the trunk. Something for me to consider in the future!

Yes, the BRZ Unit is completely different than the FRS, the harness will not fit.

The BRZ subwoofer is out of stock everywhere
