[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8668793, member: 650438"] Might want to save up for a proper head unit or skip the head unit completely and do the Dayton audio dsp + bluetooth dongle instead. Those head units have sh*tty bluetooth 3.0 while the dayton dsp can be used as a head unit to get signal with 4.0 or apt X which is lossless quality no head unit in the equation just pure bluetooth from phone to DSP to amps. The audio chip inside the dayton is far superior than the ones in the sub 100$ head unit range. Get a pioneer gm 8604 for your door speakers and you'll get something that actually would resemble sound quality. Because right now sounds like an atrocity lol. Stock head units have low quality dacs meaning sh*t sound out of the box. You also have a built in factory EQ and crossover, the signal is not flat inherently and the bass is cut off after a certain point. This is to over compensate and protect the low quality stock speakers they use. LOC doesnt really help when there's no bass in the signal to amplify, all you can do is just boost to the point of distortion. The previous sub sounded better because its pretty much louder with a stronger motor and higher MMS and lower FS in the ts specs. With a proper signal your old subwoofer would have been enough to start hurting you from the bass. My advice new box first, then save up for a complete signal processing and [/QUOTE]
