AV Panel set has arrived!!!!! w/ photos of install!

[Duffy386]

loweart, which exact part number is that? and if possible could you link the site?


Thanks is what I am looking for

Also, when you install it let us know how it went!

The exact part number is: H6217AG902SC

I looked on japanparts but using that part number I couldn't find the part.

I did a manual search and found this part 107-209-006 which seems to be the correct set. It ask's to choose which panel set. Not quite sure which one.

(#02SC) A-C
(#10) D/E/F Single
(#11) D/E/F Dual
(#12) F Si Cruise.

I need the exact same piece as you, dont want to stuff up the order.

Cheers.

P.S: I know the fronts can be replaced with 6.5 splits... but are the rears 6" coax or 6.5 coax?

They're probably 6's in the door (didn't measure them) but 6.5's fit EAAAAASY. The hole is pretty big, just make up an MDF mount and go from there. Also provides a more solid base for the speaker to work against.

If you want to improve the sounds, DEADEN THE DOORS!!!! I can't stress enough how much better this makes the car sound.

Sorry mate, forgot to mention that the part number I quoted is the Subaru part code, whereas Japanparts use their own part number for it. (Probably so you can't just go and order it from someone else)

The part number you found is correct: 107-209-006

Your particular model is the A-C model. The "(#02SC)" that they refer to is actually the last few digits of the Subaru part code.

H6217AG902SC

A-C is for 2004-2006 model Liberty
D/E/F is 2007, 2008, 2009, respectively. From 2007 they also came with Dual zone.
No Idea what the Si Cruise refers to though.

Also yes, I got the Freebox off Ebay

Sweet! Thanks cpitts! Don't worry, sound deadening is part n parcel of the speaker upgrade

[Duffy386]

nytrojen, thanks for reply, I have ordered the part as a rep from japanparts confirmed it was the correct one.

This is my first major install, so I am looking for some advice. What else Do i need for the head unit install? Wiring harness? any other cables? (head unit / single din cubby on way also)

Im also looking to upgrade speakers front and rear. Coax's in the back and Splits in the front. What is the procedure for installing splits in the front? do i need any additional parts to make it easier? mounts? speaker connectors?

If this has been covered apologies and just point me in that direction. Any help would be appreciated.

But I know for a fact that 8's don't fit.

Ok Duffy386,

You'll also need to get yourself a AERPRO wiring harness that connects into the socket that your current factory OEM head unit is connected to. You have either a choice of getting one that fits the Subaru harness on one end and then terminates as bare wires or they may have a harness that has the Subaru harness on one end and then terminates to a aftermarket brand of stereo plug on the other end eg. plug to suit JVC or Pioneer etc...... I prefer the bare wire termination on the other end so there's no chance of getting the wrong pin configuration and you simple just solder the bare ends of the AERPRO harness to the bare ends of that come from the harness of the aftermarket headunit. You can buy these AERPRO harness' from ebay or larger auto accessory stores. Go to aerpro.com.au to get the part number.

Yes, in my 2.5 Liberty, I installed Clarion splits in the front and was able to re-use the tweeter mounting bracket and soldered connectors on the wiring from the new speakers to the existing wiring connectors so that I could simply disconnect the OEM stuff and connect my aftermarket speakers using existing factory wiring. I used marine plywood for spacers so that the aftermarket speakers would sit/mount flush to the oor panel and also give correct angle. I then used Pioneer Coax's for the rear doors. By doing this way, when you decide to sell your car and want to remove your audio gear from it prior to sale, it will take less time for you to remove and refit the car back to factory OEM. When I sold my 2.5 Liberty, it took me less than 2 hrs to remove the trim, remove my speakers and head unit and re-install the factory gear and put the trim back on !

Some people may suggest that the factory wiring for the audio is piss poor because it's gauge is quite thin and they are right. Purely up to you whether you think upgrading the speaker wiring is necessary or beneficial in your particular situation. Personally, I didn't warrant it in my Liberty 2.5 because the system I was installing wasn't that powerful nor were the speakers a difficult load to drive. But in my current Liberty 3.0R, I went to the trouble of upgrading to better quality wires as it's a more powerful and higher quality system.

Here's some pics of my installs, sorry I wasn't able to show speaker installs as I didn't consider taking photos of that at the time because to me it was a simple process.

What Lokky said ^^^, lol. I didn't even end up installing my gear in the end, so I really can't talk about it. I figured that $180 to install and tune everything was going to be cheaper in the long run.

Yeah, I was told that they only had black. But it looks like I lucked out! Maybe it's kind of just a lucky dip. Cos I've read that a few other people have bought off japanparts recently and gotten the kit in black. Works out well for me! Don't need to change any trim now, hehehe

FYI I gave them the two different part numbers for black and silver, so there are now black and silver available for both pre- and post-facelift

Tangles, are you saying that I can now confidently order a fascia from there and get a black one for a MY07?

The $AU is quite strong at the mo .. . . . . . that's all.......

_clearly_ my stereo needs to be better.

Hahahaha, he's finally cracked!! Need to find yourself a good HU to complement your insane setup now

I bought the genuine Subaru single DIN pocket for MY03 WRX and it fits perfectly.

Correct.
