[QUOTE="WackyWRZ, post: 7338131, member: 633403"] Hello all, I have a few questions that hopefully you all can answer! I've got an 08 Impala with the factory HU in it now. Its non bose, and non onstar. I have been toying with the idea of swapping out the HU with an aftermarket OR adding a ReQ or JL Cleansweep. Turning the volume past 1/2 on the oem just makes the bass about non existant, and starts cutting mids too. The problem with swapping the HU to aftermarket is that I would need the wiring harness/chime box, steering wheel control interface, double din dash kit, etc... And I figure that could be $200+ in itself plus the cost of the headunit. I also have XM and use it daily, and I don't think that you can utilize the factory tuner, so that adds a SAT box, antenna, etc... Also I live in an apartment and dont have a garage, so the look of the OEM unit detracts from potential theivery! I've got a Kicker KX600.4 amp and decent speakers and have just been using a Scoshe line out converter, but having this type of sound potential being limited by the OEM unit, somethings gotta be done! If anyone has any suggestions on what direction to go I would greatly appreciate it! [/QUOTE]
