Hey guys!!

 

First of all I'll just say hi. I'm new here, this is my first post. I just bought a black 98 legacy 2.5 GT. My mom has had a 97 legacy 2.5 GT wagon for the last 6 years, I loved it so i decided to buy my own. I previously drove a 92 mazda mx-3 GS, which is for sale right now. This is a website of my last car. http://members.sounddomain.com/polskis_mx3

 

Ok heres my question. How do u take the stock radio out? and also the stock radios look kinda narrow, is it the normal size? will my aftermarket deck fit in?

Subaru's use DIN or Double DIN standard size radio's. If you have the larger double DIN factory radio you will need to get a DIN radio sized storage compartment (dealer/scrapyard/Crutchfield) to fill the extra space when installing the smaller aftermarket radio.

 

Most GT's have a single DIN radio so you can just drop in most aftermarket radios. You should get a Subaru wiring harness to avoid having to splice the factory wiring harness. Subaru antenna connections are standard.

 

Here is my radio/speaker installation guide for the 00-04 Legacy/Outback. The earlier models are different but very similar, so most of whats in this guide will apply including the wiring harness part numbers.
