2015–2019 Subaru Outback Car Stereo, Speaker & Dash Kit Fitment
A 2015–2019 Subaru Outback takes a single- or double-DIN aftermarket stereo with a Metra dash kit, and steering-wheel controls are retained with a plug-and-play harness. The factory door speakers are 6.5" drivers mounted in 6×9" openings (front and rear), so you can run 6.5" or 6×9" replacements.

The factory door speaker is a 6.5" driver set in a 6×9" door opening, so you can run a 6.5" (with the factory mount) or step up to a 6×9" — front and rear. Cars with the Harman Kardon premium system route every speaker through an under-seat amp, so a base-system and a Harman-Kardon car are wired differently. Tell us your trim and we'll match the exact parts.
The 2015–2019 Outback is a clean stereo upgrade once you know its quirk: the factory speaker is a 6.5" driver dropped into a 6×9" door opening, which means you can keep it simple with a 6.5" or open up to a 6×9" using the factory mount. The dash takes a single- or double-DIN receiver with the right Metra kit, so a CarPlay or Android Auto screen goes in without cutting. The one thing to flag first: Limited and Touring cars run the Harman Kardon system through an under-seat amp, which needs an amp interface — so confirm your trim before you order. Below are the exact dash kits we stock for your Outback.

2015–2019 Subaru Outback stereo upgrade — FAQ
What size speakers fit a 2015–2019 Subaru Outback?
The factory door speaker is a 6.5" driver set into a 6×9" door opening — front and rear. That means you can keep it simple with a 6.5" speaker on the factory mount, or step up to a 6×9" using the larger opening. A speaker bracket/adapter usually makes it a clean plug-in fit — we'll include the right one.
Can I put a double DIN / Apple CarPlay stereo in my Outback?
Yes. With the Metra 95-8906HG double-DIN dash kit, a 2015–2019 Outback takes a full double-DIN Apple CarPlay / Android Auto receiver cleanly — the kit gives the new stereo an OEM-style finish in the factory opening. Prefer a smaller unit? The 99-8906HG single-DIN kit is also in stock above.
Will I lose my steering-wheel controls or backup camera?
No. A plug-and-play harness keeps your steering-wheel controls working, and a compatible head unit retains the factory backup camera. If your Outback has the Harman Kardon premium system (Limited and Touring trims — an under-seat amp plus a trunk sub), we add an amp-retention interface so you keep full sound. Tell us your trim and we'll spec it correctly.
What dash kit do I need for a (2015–2019) Outback?
For a double-DIN stereo, the Metra 95-8906HG is the go-to; for a single-DIN stereo use the 99-8906HG. The 95-8903S is a silver-finish double-DIN alternative. All three are in stock above with live pricing, and all fit the 2015–2019 Outback (the 95-8903S covers '10–up).
