there is definitley a 1997 model forester - i have one myself!!! im about to rembove my stereo aswell so if i find anything out il let you know..... do you know the factory speaker sizes by any chance?
there is a harness that connects the speakers, the stereo and any power (extras bought) in a single bunch. most stereo kits make adapters that fit on the back of an aftermarket stereo so you don't have to cut the harness. however, it is a tight fit behind the stock stereo because of a plastic backing built into the dash. recommend to not cut the harness and find a way to fit it all (adapter, new stereo harness, stock harness) into the space provided.
To change car stereos, you will need to remove the bezel or cover from the stereo in the vehicle. Then, pull the stereo out of the dashboard and remove the wiring harness. You can then attach the new stereo to the harness.
Attached the wiring harness and the antenna cable to the back of your stereo. Slide the stereo into the stereo slot. Tighten the stereo with the stereo retaining screws.
Go to your local Canadian tire and buy a plug that goes from stereo harness to your stock harness!
