i used the nifty search function and found this thread and i have a similar situation. i use and an alpine headunit with iPod connector in my hyundai and i will either move it to the svx or buy another alpine head unit. the hyundai has a double din slot with a cd player on top and an empty pocket in the lower din slot. the installers did the same arrangement and the iPod connector is comes out in the pocket where the iPod resides. this would work perefectly in the svx since there's a door to cover my setup. the only problem is they don't have an aftermarket pocket for the svx and gave me three options:
1 - leave the cd player to fill up the bottom din slot (it would be disabled though) 2 - have a custom pocket made (expensive?) 3 - use another aftermarket pocket (looks?) 4 - find a subaru pocket (i first thought the svx had a pocket in model w/o a cd player, but i now remember there's just a plastic plate) does anyone know what pocket from the legacy works? thanks for your help.

Take a look at my SVX radio install guide. I fit the UP-K750 (universal pocket) in mine with minor modifications. I did not use any of the trim rings that came with it. It looks fine to me. There are pictures in my guide. I recently got a UP-K800 that I haven't had a chance to test yet. I'll post a follow up when I do. But basically, any pocket that fits standard ISO-DIN mounting holes (which the SVX's lower bay has) will fit. Quote:
Since the SVX already has a door, you don't need the pocket to have its own door (which some Subaru pockets have). BTW, you can do the install yourself. It's very straightforward, and there's a smaller chance that you'll damage your dash. There have been countless tales here of clueless installers doing that.

My install went very well, and for the pocket, so far I have just added some packing tape around the lower part of the radio cage, before re-installing, and I'm just going to cut some black bristol board or cardboard to finish it up, no pocket needed. The hole left by the cage is a very nice size, with no obstacles to interfere.

McIntosh
A newbee here,nice forum,Just had my stereo stolen from my 97 svx.Had the Wrx 6 cd in there, part #H6200SS000 it fit nicely, just slight cage mod needed.Was wondering if the Mcintosh fit as nicely or has anyone tried it?

I'm not aware of anyone who's tried installing a McIntosh in an SVX, but since all of the other "modern" Subarus are double ISO-DIN sized, I'm sure it will fit. It may not even need the cage mod. The McIntosh has the separate amp, connected to the HU via an umbilical cable with DIN plugs. The power/speaker connection on the amp is via a standard 14-pin Subaru radio connector. I don't know the dimensions of the amp, but suspect it will fit under the passenger seat if you don't have the slide-out storage drawer. You would need three harnesses for the installation:

If you get a McIntosh and install it, let us know how it fits.
