Default Threw this one together today.

Traded in my 2013 JKU and pulled some of the stuff out of it. I also went ahead and added some more. A couple weeks ago I got a good deal on a 2013 closeout Pioneer 5500BHS.



I pulled the Hertz Energy Components and Coax out of the 2013 and installed them in my 2011.







Also swapped in the Arc Audio xdi805 and put it in the storage tray. My friend rents the suite next to me and does some great fab work. He made me an MDF base that I could mount the amp to.



And I was about to install the factory sub wired to 4Ohm when I decided to finish off the Energy series with one of their new Energy 8s. My friend made a spacer and wrapped it in vinyl. The fit was so perfect with the vinyl I just had to tap it in with a mallet. He also had a grille laying around so we painted that too.



All in all I think this was a nice upgrade over the factory stuff. I highly recommend the Hertz speakers. I have the low line Deici in my Monte carlo, the Energy line in my JK, and just got in a High Energy 12" DVC sub that will be going in my new 2013 Legacy along with an Audison bit ten, and Voce amp and components. Audison/Hertz are great gear for the money.

Better picture of the sub. The factory enclosure was leaking a bit. Pulled it out, sealed it up and threw some sound deadening on the back side,

Looks good man. Nice choice of gear. I'm also a big fan of Hertz/ Audison stuff. Love to see the Subaru when it's done.
