SVX super real sound system
Does anyone know any details of this system, and what all it had as far as equipment? The stock US sound system is pretty pathetic and I am curious what they had over in Japan for premium sound.

Re: SVX super real sound system
I believe it had larger front door speakers.

Re: SVX super real sound system
It appears to have an external amp, too.

Re: SVX super real sound system
I wonder what the possibility of obtaining these parts would be. Obviously, the US car is not wired for it, but it would be neat. I can't find a set of speakers that don't have an awul resonance in this car, short of some of the $900 dynaudios, which I am not even sure would be any better.

Re: SVX super real sound system
I have never seen any detail on this Super Real sound system for the SVX.
Have you any reason to believe or definite information to prove that the door speakers are bigger and there is a separate amplifier? It just seems to me they would not go to the trouble of redesigning different door cards, but I could be wrong about that. A person who might know what the system has is Hairy on the New Zealand forum. Hairy owns an extremely sweet S4 Burgundy SVX. These came fitted with Super Real sounds system as standard. If his Japanese import still had the original system, he might be able to give you details. BTW, just in case you are interested, I have a Japanese Owner's Manual from the time I had the two Twin Turbo Legacys. The top end system available for the Legacy was called the "Legacy Super Real Focus Sound System [Kenwood]" Now unfortunately the manual does not go into deep detail, they say "This system has its own user manual with the system" There is a diagram showing that it is a double din unit. The description they give is: "This is a highly advanced system with CD player, 120 Watt High Power Amp, DSP, AM/FM Multi Electronic Tuner, Full Logic Control Cassette Deck & CD Changer Control." Difficult to read but written on the face of the unit is: "SUBARU Super Real Focus Sound System GX-99" Maybe the SVX uses the same unit. The handbook covers the Legacy from 1993-1998 Joe

Re: SVX super real sound system
That's the unit alright. Looks just like the 411. If someone could interpret the S3 and/or S4 JDM manuals, we could find out what exactly is different about this unit?

Re: SVX super real sound system
Thanks for the pics Marcus. I have to concede the point to the lads, it looks to be no more than a rebadged Panasonic.
However Phil mentioned a P411, and your head unit is P431. I wonder does the change in number indicate anything other than the logo on the cassette door? Or is it possible the gubbins inside are tweeked in any way? Joe
