[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8684484, member: 650438"] Stock head units have modified and heavily EQ signal outputs to cheap factory speakers to try to make them sound better than they do. They are extremely underpowered as well because factory head units only output about 3 to 5 actual watts. They also have built in, high pass filters that you cannot get rid of to protect the speakers from playing too low and ripping apart. What this means is even with an LOC, you are just boosting a signal thats not there and you'll be left wondering why your bass is weak or sounds like absolute sh*t when you put the sub in. Vs a head unit with actual subwoofer output signal dedicated for subwoofers will be a night and day difference. if you go rockville at least get the ones that are proven on the amp dyno to be worth something. With the head unit upgrade you can use the other two channels for your door speakers [MEDIA=youtube]JMQ4a5UcEKI[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
