I needed help with my 2022 Subaru Outback Wilderness sound system. I absolutely love everything about this vehicle until I turn on the radio. It’s not difficult to notice the awful inconsistent factory sound system Subaru put in this vehicle. It’s fine for talk radio and light listening but Subaru really missed the mark on this model by not providing HK sound options. Insult to injury Subaru also discontinued the Rockford Fosgate speaker upgrade on the wilderness and onyx editions so customers are now cornered into to custom options. So frustrating.
I’ve been in and out of forums researching possibilities with this factory disaster. Review after review on how I can make this sound system better. I was shocked to find I wasn’t alone with but after some mental debate I decided to upgrade speakers with Alpine RS69’s for the front doors, Alpine SPE 6000 for back doors, and added a kicker hideaway amp and woofer under the passenger seat. It was suggested I try the head unit amp to power speakers in the doors unless down the road I feel the speakers are struggling to play. The quote was fair given the amount of work to be done. Within a few days I handing my car key over to Esther for the install. A few hours later I received a phone call to pick up my Outback.
Upon picking up my Subaru, Esther, explained the work completed. I got in my car and checked out the work inside. They did a clean job from what I could see I felt my car was left in good hands. I fired up my buggy and played the radio and satellite channels first. Impressive to say the least! I plugged in my phone and started up Carplay… Used Apple music and Spotify – amazing. Had music read off my thumb drive – my ears were so happy! No struggles with the sound coming out between radio and app used.
I have spent the last couple days with this new set up and very happy. This upgrade and service was beyond my expectations. I know car stereo sound can be so subjective at times but I was not steered wrong the upgrade and Esthers direction. I highly recommend calling or dropping by the store to get some feedback on your set up. By the way… did I mention how nice they are there? Easy going and take pride in their craft!
Super service/services. It was more affordable for me to have an entire new alarm installed(way better system than original factory installed from Hyundai) with 2 new FOBS, Than just get a new FOB(1) from Hyundai because that one failed...
Very honest. Somehow my alarm got put on valet mode and my speaker went out at the same time. Thinking I needed a new alarm with the spike in vehicle thefts in lakewood recently I went in. They took it out of valet mode and diagnosed my bad siren. About $70 for material and labor. Great deal.
This place is the best I have taken all of my vehicles there. The prices are good and the quality of craftsmanship is dealership quality. The installers are professional they know what they are doing and they have won competitions to prove it they have the trofies and magazine articles there in the lobby. I highly recommend it and I have gone to numerous shops over the years this ones the best!
Was next door for an oil change and was told they could fix my actuator. I already had the part and they pop the door panel and I got the wrong part. Was told to came back with the right part and pay the other half then which I thought was nice of them. Week later, part was replaced. Happy with the work and service.
