I just used the stock braket. The Alpine comes with an adapter already on it (atleast mine did) I just had to remove it and it bolted right up to the stock mounting points.Originally Posted by blarg

I have the exact same setup - it's fantastic. I did take the time to drill holes for the Forester din pocket. I also drilled a hole in the back of the pocket to pass the Ipod connect wire through. My Ipod just sits in that pocket out of sight.
I'll be drilling the hole in the back of the DIN pocket also. Im waiting anxiously for the HU to arrive
Did you upgrade the speakers also?

No I didn't. I have the "upgraded" Subaru system with underseat Subwoofer and it sounds better with the Alpine than with the stock HU. I probably won't bother upgrading the speakers. The car is not really a daily driver anyway.

I was just going to post and ask exactly that. I have the upgraded sound system with the SW...how much power than the speakers handle? apparently they work fine with the alpine? I was thinking of getting that Sony HU with the face that flips around and is blank on the back...if I mount that flush my radio will be pretty much invisible.

I have no idea how much the stock speakers can handle. All I can say is they sound fine when I turn my Alpine up. I just did a 1500 mile round trip, and they sounded great. I had that Sony HU in my old wagon. It was very nice, but I would buy the Alpine if you want the Ipod functionality.
nope. no Ipod. I have a PocketPC with Windows Medial Player with BT and a BT receiver (RCA out), and a 60 gig WiFi hard drive in the glovebox. so all I have to hook up is the BT reciever to AUX in.
I had an older version of that sony in my ITR, but there was no way to flush mount it...even though it was blank, it still stuck out like 1/2 an inch with that stupid bezel.
it would be cool if it could read MP3's or SD cards, but not really necessary. I think the Sony's cheaper too.

hey! ive recently done the same setup on my '05 wrx and didnt even know about this thread.
Except instead of a Forester DIN pocket, i got a single black open face pocket that goes in a 2.5rs. It snaps right into the dual DIN metal caddy that was on the stock unit. I cut a hole in the back of the pocket to feed the ipod hookup through.
