If u just wanted to clean up your sound and double it. What would u do?

Aside from changing out head unit and speakers and keeping close to stock as possible but cranking out a better cleaner louder sound , what would you get? I need recommendations.

1.DSP

2. Amplifier (4 or 5 CH)

3. Subwoofer ( powered or unpowered)

Louder and cleaner sound will definitely happen with more power, so an amplifier covers that. "Better" can mean a dozen different things depending on who you ask. If your vehicle lacks bass then adding a subwoofer is a must-do upgrade. I mean, for me all three items on your list are mandatory. If you have to pick just one after doing the head unit and speakers it would be to add the amplifier.

To go into this to more closely match your specific needs please tell me the year, make and model of your vehicle. Have you done any upgrades to the sound system yet?

2013 Yukon Denali Hybrid.. Everything stock as of now. Those 3 things (DSP, amp, sub) is what I'm adding. Heard I shouldn't change out stock HU to avoid complications.

who ever told u there would be complications changing out the factory hu is an idiot and i wouldnt listen to hi/her ever again. you can buy adapters where u can keep most of ur factory stuff/ also subs are always powered. the last thing if ur denali is like mine then the factory amp is a bose and it stinks, almost anything u buy after market will be better then that thing.

as for recommendations i would go Sundown Audio, best bang for ur buck imo and they sound great

There is a lot to consider with a full spread upgrade like this, and if you have a shop do the work you need someone very competent. I would be happy to write out recommendations for everything and sell you the whole system, but let's nail down...

A) who is doing the work

B) are you definitely keeping the factory HU?
