As you may have followed, I own a 2012 WRX Premium with the stock stereo. I am looking at possibly replacing the entire stereo and would like your expert input. I want a better sound and a mostly stock look without losing any of my bluetooth or steering wheel mounted controls. Below is my wishlist from Crutchfield: http://www.crutchfield.com/S-I8cJoNZcnqX/app/tools/WishlistViewer.aspx Feel free to rip it apart and let me know if I should change anything and why. I know that one of the items is discontinued. Spank you all and Happy Holidays!

powderific posted:That link isn't working for me. I just did a replacement on my 2013 Crosstrek, which should have fairly identical install, so I can offer more detailed advice on stuff like the SWC setup if you need it. Son of a bitch... lol Deck = Kenwood KDC-BT952HD Stereo Control = Axxess ASWC Front Speakers = Alpine SPS-610C Rear Speakers = Alpine SPS-610 Sub = Sound Ordnance B-12 Amp for Speakers = Blaupunkt THA475PnP (Discontinued) Amp for Sub = Kicker 11DX250.1 I am not partial to any of the brands I choose but having a great sounding system on a "budget" would be great. I listen to most music except for heavy rap and country.

powderific posted:Good poo poo about stereo equipment... I swapped the deck with JVC KW-R900BT. Just hope I would not lose the audio and USB connections in my center console. I swapped the discontinued amp for Rockford Fosgate Prime R300-4 as I have owned a Rockford amp before and it was awesome. I kept my speaker choices as I do not want to spend a lot of money and would rather have a good core and swap the speakers later if warranted or wanted. Would http://ae64.com be a better choice than my Axxess ASWC choice? How do you like the JVC headunit? Would my selections work properly together?

I was thinking about replacing the wires if the factory ones are not up to snuff. If I were to do that, I would wire up adapters to the audio and USB connections within the center console. Keeping it looking neat and as stock as possible would be my goal. Have not been a teenager for many years and do not want things half-assed and wires everywhere.  Thanks for the input, I definitely would need help with installing everything.
