[QUOTE="Ronny, post: 8465823, member: 619486"] It is super easy, just a tad time consuming depending on how many stock drivers you have. In my own vehicles, I haven't installed a regular ol' source unit for seven years . Ever since only obtaining new Mercedes and Lexus models for the past seven years but knowing I am one nutjob audiophile who must upgrade even the finest and most expensive stock systems whilst harnessing the power and usability of all voice commands and steering wheels controls et cetera I chose to start installing Audiocontrol's OEM Integration systems (like the LC8i et cetera). Not only do I retain every option the vehicles came with, but I also get 8 all signal summed 8v preouts with options to sum certain channels and refrain from doing so to others. Each pair of preouts also has a gain knob. Anyhow there are plenty of nice ones out there, it is just the install that is time consuming. Of course the units require pos and neg, mine don't require a remote turn on and auto on by signal sensing but I hate how it works. The time consuming part comes in where you must tap into the signal going to each speaker and run it to your integration unit. But, if all you are after is adding say an active front stage and substage, you don't necessarily need to tap into every speaker. .. Pretty simple and easy, just time consuming sometimes. But, none the less, very straightforward. I apologize I am half asleep typing this so if something needs clarification let me know or ask me a question :-P Ron :-) [/QUOTE]
