Doyou reckon that a wrx 4.1 Box would be to much for the old ea81 in my brumby? I'd like to put in a 5 speed d/r box with a higher final drive and seeing as the 3.9 are so elusive , I thought why the hell not a 4.1? yea or nay?

4.1 and d/r? thats gunna be a mix and match gearbox if im not mistaken and to fit an ej box its guna need an adaptor to bolt to a ea motor plus custom/ modded flywheel, unless you already have a ej motor and or box in the brumby

Also just read your sig, where did you hide 6 speakers in a brumby? i had 4 and 2 subs in my old one

Picky, Picky, technically subs are speakers. as it happens, according to that I have eight speakers. 2 subs, 2 mid low, 2 mid high, and 2 tweeters. used 4 inch splits for the mid highs with a spacer to fit them to the kick plate on the lower portion of the door towards the hinge. kicks some ass, let me tell you.

I belive the outback boxes are 4.1 and d/r but it's only a 20% reduction not like the L series which is a 50% reduction, if you get a 4 bolt pre Gen3 (late '99) you can fit the L series low range to it and get the best of both worlds.

Fitting it to an EA81 is going to be a long winded effort which will hardly be worth the effort, while you're at it you should fit the EJ engine to go with it.

well yes tru subs are realy big speakers lol, and if you count it that way yea i had 8 speakers 2 woot, the ex didnt like it tho:D

This Forum is ovreflowing with veritable fonts of knowledge. The amount I have learnt about my subie from here is amazing. You guys rock.

Yeah my wife doesn't like it much when I crank it all the way. a mate of mine went into a pub to gt some cash the other day with me waiting outside in the pub with mr.bungle on. He said my stereo was louder than the people AND the stereo in the pub. he he

man i was in your shoes 2 yrs ago and i even work for subaru, i learn more about the older gens here than at work, any questions just ask we are all more than willing to help, if you wanna catch up for a chat while im down here feel free to pm me

sorry me waiting in the car

Don't worry I will. I'm trying to do up the brumby as much as I can without doing the ej convert. as much as I love the idea of having an ej22 or 20t, I kinda want to keep her as true to form as possible. except for the exhaust... and the Weber...and the stereo... and later maybe the gear box.

so standard but not thats funny lol but yea makes sense
