Yes, I would be using the McIntosh unit they put in the VDC models. As for the speakers....I wouldn't think the speakers they put in the McIntosh equiped Subs would be the same ones that my car came with, and not sure how to find that out. Obviously want the best sound possible but not thrilled about taking things all apart to add different speakers. Would the difference in sound quality be worth the trouble?

Hi all, I have a 02 OBW LLB with the standard equip stereo with the amp that is fixed under the passenger seat, and something like 8 speakers. Before I bought my car I test drove the VDC and loved the McIntosh sound system, and would like to upgrade my stereo with the McIntosh. In terms of sound quality, is replacing the stereo but keeping the existing speakers a waste of money? Also does anyone know if you're just swapping one for the other are the connections the same, so it's just a matter of unplugging the old stereo and plugging in the new one? Thanks

Figured it out.

in the rear panel (2004 outback wagon) not the hatchback door. All I see is the bundle of wires and two bolts one way above that looks impossible to get to and one below. Is loosening the nuts on those bolts and taking the lense off from the outside how you replace the bulbs? Thanks
