10 Series add a sub
has anyone figured out a way to add an amp and a subwoofer to a 10 series frs yet, as the 6.1" touch screen bespoke does not come with rca outputs, like the regular bespoke audio system. Do i need to find a harness or what are my options here without having to buy a new headunit.

Have you looked at the OEM Audio +, it's essentially plug and play...
Personally after setting the HU audio DSP to Feel... it has quite a punchy setup... despite the lack of subwoofer. |

ya i have looked at the OEM Audio+
not really liking the 1200 price tag, i had a 12" kicker L7 that would actually fit quite perfectly, just needed the rca's to hook it up |

Maybe the "Kicker" subwoofer that they're offering for the BRZ? Granted I've been reading some seriously mixed reviews on it, but the harnesses might match up.

Only other thing I can think off is to add a speaker level to RCA adapter, but you'd have to find the speaker lever wires with a wiring diagram...
Or try this http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?p=1086444 |

Use a line output converter (LOC), tap either the front or rear speakers from the headunit harness, then plug in the RCA cables into the LOC.
Use a wiring diagram to figure out which wires go to which speakers, or do trial and error with a AA battery (touch one wire to + and one to -, until you hear static noise coming from a speaker).

OEM Audio+ is awesome I've had two of their systems and will be buying it for my FR-S also.

(canadian-spec stereo comes with rear subwoofer pre-outs) canadian-spec 10-series headunits are the same as the stock FR-S stereo without the touchscreen.
