Hey pal,

I recently put some focal splits, tweets, alpine headunit and a big focal sub about to go in all acquired from westide. I do recommend them (also mention pwrx for a discount) although if you can install yourself (i did the headunit, amp, sub, wiring myself with a friend) youll save heaps more money. But seriously if you replace anything get focal tweets/splits and youll triple the quality instantly (if not more).

Pics!

OK, you lost me when you said focal tweets.

If thats not sarcasm I'll explain it to you. Splits are the 2 medium size speakers located at the bottom of your doors, the tweeters are the 2 small ones located near the middle or top of the doors (mine's next to my door handles). Focal is an audio brand that is considered to be the best in the market, I wouldn't recommend anything else really.

Hope that helps

So the splits handle the bass?

They handle most of the frequencies of the bass and treble, although the subwoofer should handle most of the bass if setup correctly and you get the real doof doof going. Tweeters handle the higher frequency range and give it that real extra clarity.

Thats the basics, I'm no expert though :P

No... Splits are a "split-speaker" meaning 2 parts per side... consists of a mid range(medium frequency audio) woofer(usually 5"-6" and mounted lower in the door) and a high range(high frequency audio) tweeter(usually the size of a ping pong ball and mounted at the door handle or higher)...

Bass is mostly non-existant in standard Subaru stereo systems, but can be added fairly easily with a subwoofer/amplifier combo!

This is all completely irrelevant though as it sounds like your issue is with the head unit functionality... which means, as has been suggested, go in and see your choice of audio experts(personally, I'd recommend Macey) and speak to them about a solution...

Oh, and welcome!

My bad you're right, I meant it although I explained it incorrectly although the gist was the same. I meant to say the splits include the tweeter and the speaker with the lower to mid range bass/treble. And yes I did go a bit too far with what he was after but at least now he understands a bit more and may consider getting something better in the future. Already had a few enquiries from other people about my setup due to the post lol.
