I did a after market stereo install on my 1993 Subaru Loyale ea82na yesterday. I love this website. After reading a bunch, I wondered how hard it could be after reading some difficulties that others had had. Maybe I got lucky, maybe i chose the right stuff. I put in a kenwood kmm-312btu head unit in, fits flush perfectly in the dash no worries. I did buy a scosche wiring harness and that made life easy, part number is SU01B. The speakers were kenwood as well. kenwood kfc-p709ps Components. Speakers fit nice in the doors using the door panels as mounts not the actual door, drilled a couple holes for the tweeters, and strung new speaker wire through the factory grommets on the doors. Simple. I was worried about space and having to get a dash kit. Not needed. Everything i ordered had it all in the box minus the after market wiring harness. Having that made it quick although it can be done without.

I can post pics if anyone needs help or give better details if needed. For less than 200 bucks it was well worth it

Don't recall hearing many issues with those body styles. The issues are with the Brat, coupe, hatch and wagons through '88. They have no space behind the head unit (like 5"-6"), a common ground wire speaker system, goofy speakers in the dash, very thin speakers in the door to clear the window and virtually nowhere to put other speakers without using boxes or hacking things up.

As long as your replacement headunit doesn't require a CD or cassette, then they can fit into the Loyale dash.
