[QUOTE="BroncosNeverDie, post: 8649050, member: 675219"] Thanks for taking the time to reply! I won't go with the 8" speakers in the back then. But do you think I'll get a good mix of audible frequencies and the 12" 600W sub won't overpower it all? So should I just stick to replacing the 6.5" and 6x0" speakers? It may sound ridiculous to imply that the subwoofer would overpower everything, and I apologize but this is my first audio build, so I don't know. Also, as far as AUX cables I agree and I'd even say Bluetooth is garbage in terms of quality. I strictly listen to 320kbs and FLAC music only. But my setup with the raspberry pi wouldn't involve the car head unit. In fact, I will be completely removing the head unit, transferring radio capabilities to the pi, have all my music on either a 128gb USB flash drive connected to the Pi or maybe an external SSD. That way, the sound only has to go through a single conversion (the aftermarket ApplePi DAC). And the ApplePi card is an amazing DAC. Specification wise it uses amazing components and the reviews seem to prove it. I will be going directly from it to the speakers. So nothing else in the chain to add noise or distort the sound. If you still think this is a bad idea, do let me know, but seeing as this would be more fun to build and cheaper than a head unit capable of 24bits and 192kHz (I know that's a bit overkill) playback, I think it's a great idea. But do let me know if you think otherwise. [/QUOTE]
