Looking For The Best Way To Install A Good Sounding System Keeping The Factory (no Audiophile) H/u And Factory Sub
( Which Was Given To Me) Need Advice On Types Of Speakers And Amps And Sizes And The Best Way To Do It Keeping Door Panels O.e

Thanks New To The Stero Game

 

The door panels give you tons of options by their design without making them look modified. How far are you looking to take it and/or how much are you looking to spend.

 

Thanks Nothin But A Ford I Admire You Time And Work, A Mastercraftsman I Am Looking For A Good Sounding System With Good Speakers And Amps And Sub Woofer ( Factory Sub If Usable Got It For Free And Fits Under The Seat Great) Money Not So Much An Issue But Dont Want To Go Crazy. Would Like To Keep It Around 1500.00 For Material, And Your Reccomendations On Equipt Would Be Appricated ( You Can Email If You Want) *** AGAIN WOULD LIKE TO KEEP THE HEAD UNIT IF POSSIBLE*******

Thanks Again New To The Stero Game Eddie

 

The head unit if kept will be the weakest link in your new system.

 

Thanks. I would look into a good quality set of front speakers, a single 10 or 12" sub and as big of a 4 channel amp (running the sub and fronts only) as you can afford. If you plan to add to the system later the amp can be used as a 2 channel for the fronts and add a bigger amp to the sub or subs. The key is to get quality pieces now so they won't need to be replaced if you ever want to upgrade. With products like the rockford 360 or jl clean sweep you can still use the stock head unit even on a high end system.

 

I really didnt want to replace my HU either, but im really happy with the one i got, and am glad i replaced it!

 

what head unit did you use and did the sirus radio still work

 

The stocks sirius radio will only work with the stock HU. I tried changing, and even a sirius ready aftermarket HU cannot use the factory sirius equipment. It does suck, but thats the way it is
