I use the Motorola MA1 for wireless Android Auto and it works PERFECTLY in my 2023 Forester Wilderness with my Pixel 6 Pro. Not one hiccup yet in a month of usage. NO difference than in being wired.
I just got a 2023 with the HK, it sounds pretty good and I'm glad they have physical controls. The only thing I've had that "might" be better was a GTI I had with the Fender setup. they're close though.
570 watts with amp and 9 speakers sounds like a portable radio with no volume! If I had tried it out I would have opted for the Rockford Fosgate stereo.
i have this car. touring model. most horrible speakers ever. sounded like there were about to go out with the bass. my Bose speakers on my 2011 chevy impala were 1000000 times better. i think these speakers are good for older people who like to listen to their calm classic rock maybe
Would love to see your review of Revel Ultima in Lincoln Nautilus, Savagegeese said it was one of the best they ever tested in under 70K vehicles, frequency response "textbook"
Got a 2019 Forester Touring with the HK system and it's awful. I'm in the process of replacing all the speakers currently but struggling to find a drop-in replacement for the sub.
the newer models aren’t better. these speakers suck. my 2011 chevy w bose sounded glorious. am i doing something wrong with the settings? the music off my iphone sound better than these
If you want to use After Market parts you will need to recalibrate the whole system, otherwise you will COMPLETELY mess up the balance and the precalibration
Can I ask why would u need an auxiliary cord port in a 2023 car? The 2023 forester wilderness also has no C-USBS. And still has an AUX port. What would u use the aux port for these days?!
My question is why does my 2011 legacy 3.6r limited HK sound significantly better than my wifes 2017 outba k 2.5i limited HK system. I swear the outback sounds like garbage compared to my legacy.
@@gregkogut6749 our outbacks system is straight garbage. Definitely a D tier "premium" sound system. Went for a ride with my brother and his girl in her mazda 3 with the bose sound system and my mind was blown. Made me wanna get a civic hatch with the bose(i heard it was good too) and sell both my cars and get a cx-90 touring plus to replace the outback.
😂 You can’t hear what a sound system sounds like from a TH-cam video. You’re hearing the sound system being recorded by whatever microphone you’re using and then who knows what the listener is listening on, but I do know it’s not the speakers being demoed. The only useful information you can give is tech specs and just your opinion of the sound quality. “Sound samples” are useless.

harman is becoming the new bose and bose is becoming the new harmon kardon
I really enjoyed the HK in my 20 Forester Sport.

yes the speakers are horrible. i had the volume turned up as much as it can go and like no sound. no bass. basic speakers. bose a million times better
I have a 19 . Get ready for the speakers to go out .
this is so true lol

the acura systems are pretty damn good..even the base models are better than the suberu HK upgraded 12 speaker
Have you had a chance to try out the HK systems in the 24/25 Foresters? Curious how those shake out.
Not yet, but later this year I will

Thank you, very helpful video indeed! Great
Do you think we can make this sound system better with aftermarket parts?

Very helpful thank you!
What settings would you recommend for the best sound? Or just leave flat?

High fidelity audio. If you have a device with a headphone jack, it's still one of the easiest way to get HQ audio into your car.
Why have you not done the 12 speaker HK sound system in the Subaru Outback?
That's a good question. Just haven't had an upper-level Outback to review yet.

Agree. - had a 2004 MINI Cooper with HK that was top shelf. Must be cost cutting.

@@DailyMotorSound Thank you! 😁🙏👍✌️
everything is on youtube lol
Does it have a sub in it at all?
Yeah in the trunk
How much this music system cost to upgrade from a dealer ?
about $1500. mind as well get better speakers. bose are so much better. i switched to these HK are horrible
What's the best mpgs this vehicle can get?
About 26mpg, I average 24mpg with my 2023 wilderness
@@trevoblaster52 what would it take to get 30 mpg highway from a wilderness forester? Someone said they got that kinda mpg highway
@SyrupCanuck the best I have seen on the highway is 28mpg. Honestly, if fuel economy is an issue, just get a sport those get 26 city to 33 mpg highway
