Can a man be in a boat and look at the boat from outside at the same time? Probably not.
Any PROOF is in our heads, and cannot be made outside of our heads. So while subjective idealism might be wrong i do not think that it is possible to disprove it, because we cannot OBJECTIVELY examine our perceptions.
P.S. Can you have a cake and eat it too?

It is logically impeccable. Dr. Johnson tried to disprove Berkeley's subjective idealsim by kicking a stone. G.E.Moore tried to disprove Bradley's idealism by showing up his hands. But both are external attacks which would not affect subjective idealism or idealism internally.

It's totally absurd that 'objects' pop in an out of existence, when I turn my head.
How many absurdities do we have to point at?

Subjectivity cannot be disproven. Period.
