Head Units
Learning about car audio. I love my factory head unit. Do I have to change it?

[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8740671, member: 614752"] Yes, they often will have EQ or attenuation built in that may not work well once speakers are upgraded and may have a high noise floor that you'll notice if you amplify things. If you want to really nerd out in getting good sound you'll want some DSP functions such as crossover, time alignment, and EQ. There are several brands who make outboard solutions for this but also a few head units that have all that stuff built in. You can always just try the JBL, Audison, Rockford, JL, or similar integration unit and see if that gets you were you need but once you buy some processing power, add an amp, and aftermarket speakers if you can't dial things in to your liking the head unit is probably the weak link.
