OBW McIntosh stereo's

Featured Replies

The McIntosh stereo was bad in our 02 OBW.

 

I put an early 1990's tape deck from an Impreza in it's place just so I can listen to stuff from my phone. It plugged right in and works, but only get sound from the front speakers.

 

Is the amplifier a stand alone unit and should work with anything that plugs in to the dash? Or am I not getting rear sound because the old deck doesn't interface with the amplifier set up?

 

How does the amplifier under the seat work, is it compatible with anything that plugs in or just the McIntosh stereo?

Is it just an amp under the seat or is it an amp with subwoofer? I have the factory subwoofer with amp in my wrx and it just plugs in behind the radio with a jumper harness. I actually saved it from my first wrx and put it in my current one.
