Usually an alarm just kills the starter. I know you said you hooked everything up. But you double checked the cam and crank sensors are plugged in correctly? There isn't a whole lot that will stop the spark. Also, if you have a code reader (I think everyone that has a subaru damn well should), check for codes, easy stuff first.

You didn't specify which model, so we don't know if you have a 2.2L or 2.5L DOHC. Assuming the timing belt installation is correct, verify that the cam sprockets aren't swapped in position left to right. Only the left (driver's side) cam sprocket has reluctors on the back for the cam position sensor, so wrong placement results in no spark.
