[QUOTE="calebkhill, post: 8246145, member: 647857"] This head unit looks like tuning capabilities are limited, and the big price c omes from features line navigation, etc. It looks like you'll need a different head unit, or integrate a dsp. In honesty, I'd go with a a dsp in this situation. To keep all the features your current unit has, but the dsp will give you tuning options. If your car is already a 3 way front, then you could simply replace all the factory speakers, this would mean little to no modifications. The five channel alone won't suffice. Like i said, you need at least 7 or 8 amplified channels, depending on how many subs your run 1 or 2 Definitely You need 8 amplified channels Any size works. Output determines how many and what size.
