I was looking at other brands... Infinity was recommended, which were too much so was looking at the much cheaper RF's. :) I think the issue I have with the lesser-known-brands, is, what's to research? Often no information to be found, and many of those brands really fudge the specs, so often...

Crutchfield has a Canadian site... From what I can see, Sonic doesn't. Which means exchange rates, duty, and double the cost of shipping.

Simple/cheap is me... honestly, the volume is fine, I've not maxed it yet and it was loud enough. I don't understand the need for 100w in a car while driving. I've been able to gather basic speaker info. No watts/rms though just Front Door - 6.5" 3ohm Mids Back Door - 6.5“ 6ohm Mids Pillars -...

Was thinking just that... Get the infinity components and replace the front door and pillars. Terrain forum has had a few suggestions but seems very split between some saying its the best factory system they ever heard, and people with my issue, dull highs. Can't seem to find anything about...

Hey everyone, just bought a used 2010 GMC Terrain and was happy it had the "premium" Pioneer system in it, until I started to use it. Seems kinda flat, no crispness on the mids/highs... almost like something is in front of the speakers. Terrain/Equinox site, I see some people say the same...

Hey guys. Upgraded my deck after 12+yrs of my Sony... bit of a learning curve figure out the settings, but 2 settings I can't seem to sort out or find in the manual. 1) I set it to display the clock. The little EQ was then replaced with the time, about 1 or 2 songs later I looked at the time...

Hey... just an update... JVC KD-X350BTS is now installed... looks good sounds good. Having a few minor issues with setup though, like getting the time to display and remain displayed. Seems to switch itself back for some reason. But otherwise seems pretty good. Android remote app though is...

Thanks for the info... likely will grab that KD-X350BTS.

Car has 7 speakers, I don't know if I can afford to upgrade it. But... as much as I like future proofing... if I plan to just keep the speakers as-is, then otherwise the two decks are basically the same correct? I'll probably get the KD-X350BTS though either way, simply because it's $10 more...

Well... it's a no brainer to someone who knows stereos but to an average-joe like me... I have no idea what difference that would make when using an adapter plug to go from the deck to the existing harness/amp in the car. If I'm plugging this directly into the stereo... does it matter how many...

Seems here in Canada at least, every site I've gone to so far lists the Kenwood BT518HD and the JVC 340BTS as 'no longer available'.... older models I guess. @Jeffdachef... what makes the two I listed 'cheap' outta curiosity? When I compare the JVC KD-X255BT with the JVC...

Thanks but outta budget and as per my last post, getting single din instead.

Well, decided name brand not eBay no-name, and single DIN... didn't see the advantage in the bigger one and wanted to keep the factory dash the way it is. Got it narrowed to JVC KD-X255BT and the Kenwood KMM-BT322U. I also liked the Pioneer MVH-S501BS, but more I look the more the budget keeps...

Yeah after some research and just overall looks/simplicity, I think I'm getting a single-din. Nothing overly fancy.... ... confusion I have now is what do I need. Crutchfield has a 2002-2005 article about the Dodge Ram stereo and says that if you have the infinity system you need a $100...

That's a shame.... always liked their design. Though they kinda went away from simple. Looking at the current XPlods, they're a mess... buttons all over the place. Still a coin toss between double DIN and single. Gotta say though, heads I'm looking at, even downloaded the PDF manual, does show...
