Hello caraudio.com,
I am looking to replace my stock stereo equipment. I am not really looking to be heard from miles away, and I have been out of the "audio" world for some time. A little bit about the car:
2007 Subaru WRX STI Corn fed
Kenwood DNX5140 (I hate this head unit BTW)
Stock everything else stereo related
Made 343hp to the wheels on E85 and is currently tracked/DD
The car is loud (no cats and open waste gate) but the stock speakers are horrible (as expected). I plan on replacing the head unit and the door speakers. Since it is a track car, and I rarely have anyone in the backseat, it was suggested that I remove the back door speakers. Anyway I was thinking of picking up whatever the lastest iteration of the Pioneer Avic series is right now. I have always had good luck with them in the past. As far as subs go I do want as least one, but I plan on removing it for track days as well as the amp. Most anything that is not needed is removed for weight. This was suggested by someone in my family who works in the industry:
pioneer AVIC-z140 $1000
Hertz HSK-165 $300
Hertz HCX-165 Optional $200
ARC Audio KS-300.4 $275
ARC Audio KS-300.2 $250
ARC Audio Black Series 12" $300
My question is will this be the best way to spend my money? Can I get more bang for my buck elsewhere? The prices are his cost I believe.
