Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / Car Audio / June 2004Subwoofer 2002 Outback LL Bean
I just bought an 2002 Outback LL Bean and would like to install a sub in it. I have 4 12" subs from other cars laying around but they almost look to big to be able to fit any place in the vehicle. Is it possible to use these some place in the car without consuming the space in the rear? Maybe in a side panel or in with the spare tire? If the 12 is to big, what size have people used? Also, is there any documentation out there on how to tear apart the dash to replace the cd/tape deck? Thanks in advance for the help. > I just bought an 2002 Outback LL Bean and would like to install a sub > in it.

Thanks in advance for the help. If you're content to drive around without a spare, You could get at least one of those in that well--perhaps 2. You can measure the volume using packing peanuts and port accordingly. A buddy did something similar in an Integra long ago to good effect. The side panels are way too small for a 12, best I can tell. An alternative would be a free standing box. That's worked well for me in the past and has the benefit of being removeable when you need all your cargo room.

Do you think there is any way of being able to leave the spare in and using a 10" sub or something for example? It would be my luck I put all this fun stuff in there to have my wife drive it and get a flat. ha... Have you ever heard of anyone putting a sub in the side panels? What size sub are you running currently in your free standing box? I am an amature at this but if i put an 8-10" in there would that sound OK do you think? Do you know of any guides online on how to take out the factory deck by chance? Thanks again. > > I just bought an 2002 Outback LL Bean and would like to install a sub > > in it.

I think adding any sort of driver that's larger would help matters. I've gotten old and don't have a sub in my Outback, but I ran a single Fosgate Punch 12 in a freestanding bandpass box in my 626. If I had it to do again, I wouldn't do a bandpass box--thing sounded kinda crappy. i'd go with a direct radiating box and feed it plenty of power (not that you need much in a space as small as a car). I've considered the underseat subs that Subuaru sells... but never got much farther than that. The audio quality of the stock sytem is okay, but I do miss having some real bass. But I haven't missed it enough to pony up dollars given other priorities. :-) -- Todd H. 2001 Legacy Outback Wagon, 2.5L H-4 Chicago, Illinois USA Check here for the installation of the security system which requires removal of the sound system: http://www.subaru-parts.com/_instructions/instructions.html I mounted my 10" sub in the right rear compartment after removing the not so useful box. The whole box came out with no cutting then I fashioned a cloth cover over the hole. I put my amps in the tray over the spare. > I just bought an 2002 Outback LL Bean and would like to install a sub > in it.

Thanks in advance for the help. Thanks for the info. You don't have any pictures by chance do you? Did you make a custom box and such also for the sub? Thanks again. > I mounted my 10" sub in the right rear compartment after removing the not so > useful box.
