[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8600126, member: 650438"] the stock stereo is boring anyways, get a double din touchscreen to liven things up. My buddy has a 2010 corolla and it definitely is 100x better looking with a touch screen not to mention the sound is 100x better. You can always keep the stock head unit and pop it back in when you sell the car. The stock head unit looks old and yucky aesthetics wise anyways. The stock head unit has a sh*tty built in EQ curve and aggressive high pass filter to compensate for garbage factory speakers. When you line out convert that same signal, its applied to ALL your aftermarket equipment. Not to mention the inherent internals aka digital audio convertors of the head unit are 12-16 bit junk as well which is bad sound and dirty signal from the start. Bad source = bad system no matter how good the rest of your gear is. a proper head unit will give you the ability to not only obtain a clean unfiltered signal, but also much better sound from the start because they are built with a quality 24 bit DAC. Then you have other tuning options such as 13 bands of Eq, time alignment(makes all the soundwaves from each speaker in your car reach your ear at the same time creating a live studio concert experience on your dash.
