[QUOTE="Kahbrohn, post: 8446562, member: 667918"] Hi! I am from Puerto Rico (an Ohio transplant really). I am presently looking to upgrade the sound system in my 2014 Jeep Patriot and wanted to be registered at a site that I felt would be a good resource of information should the need arise. Even though I have a fairly basic understanding of sound systems and past working knowledge of 12vdc systems (ex-Navy Electricians Mate), I have this bad habit of never assuming I know it all. So, I soon hope to be following a few of the threads and please rest assured to see some noob questions on my part in the process! Upgrades to date: - Swapped out the basic HU on my Jeep. Replaced it with my older [URL="http://www.allpar.com/stereo/MyGIG-REN/"][B][COLOR=blue]UConnect REN[/COLOR][/B][/URL] HU (circa 2008) which I felt has a bit more power (hence volume) and looks much better while maintaining a "stock" look (for my safety concerns). - Added a [URL="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GJFGE0K?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00"][B][COLOR=blue]HIMBOX blue tooth adapter[/COLOR][/B][/URL] since the REN only accepted my cell phone connecting to it - won't stream my music unfortunately.
