[QUOTE="Cheezledzul, post: 8909755, member: 661895"] New to car audio I’d like to improve sound quality but will need to do it in stages. I was once told head units are the first upgrade because it will provide more power to the stock speakers (plus CarPlay is nice to have). Is this true or should I be looking at speakers, sub, amp etc first? I checked out these units and can’t understand which will provide better sound quality. Except the Sony has a better built in amp I think? I’ve heard Sony isn’t good though. Screen size doesn’t matter, just want improved audio, CarPlay and less freezing/glitching. Is the higher price tag really improving audio quality over the other units? Could anyone help advise between these units? Thank you!
