Just seen this post to bring it back, "and hears the rest of the story". Subaru Outback Limited and VDC came stock with McIntosh radio (believe through clarion division but labled McIntosh). From 2000-2004, after that avail in forester. The 2000-2004 outback used a 200 what Mac, 5 ch. amplifyer under pass front seat, and also used Clarion speakers with I believe a 6x9 sub in rear trunk area. The Legacy also had same option (4 door sedan) in limited and VDC, but only had a 4 channel amp (no sub) they also had an optional 6 cd changer. All Mac units were receiver only. I have a Sube LL Bean and I want to put one of these in, I have heard that they did have a lot of issues but when working they sounded pretty good. Nice clean sound but could use a little more punch!
I would rate it in top 5 for factory sound system set ups. Better then the caddy's and Lexus, bose systems. In sound quality and had more punch then most any factory system with the 200 watt Mac amp.
