[QUOTE="djtech2k, post: 8324727, member: 598744"] I am looking for some options/suggestions on a new setup for my son's first vehicle, a 2001 Ford F-150 standard cab. Years ago I did a lot of audio/video work, but I know a lot has changed. When I was in the business, Rockford, Alpine, and JL were some of the kings. Anyway, I am here now and I want to surprise my 16yr old son with something small to start with. The main priorities are: - Aux/Bluetooth input to stream music from phone (Windows Phone) - Bluetooth for hands-free phone - Add some bass - Relatively Simple/Easy install (I do not have a lot of time, but will do the work.) - Would like to improve high's but budget may limit it at first. - Seats need to be able to move back, so the box cant be too big that it blocks the seat. I am open to any ideas. My first thought was to update the head unit to get BT and aux input. Then I was thinking a decent powered sub for behind the seat. Some sound too good to be true and from what I hear the companies are not what they were when I worked on this stuff, in the 90's. I prefer to not have to buy/install an amp on this, but I wont rule anything out. Any ideas on what would sound good and not cost a ton or be a tough install? [/QUOTE]
