[QUOTE="Doxquzme, post: 8850115, member: 689267"] Well, using my HD card and my Focal open back headphones, I can understand the question; you would be hard-pressed to recreate headphone imaging in a car, at any price, period. The upgrade would definitely improve the sound in a big way, pretty night and day over the OEM setup, even with an aftermarket HU. As for the install, that’s a question you’d be the one best to answer. Most of it is on YouTube, the rest is relative to your mechanical prowess. I’ve done plenty of computer builds, not quite the same. [I]My[/I] suggestion involves rewiring the speakers too (removin the panels, running wire); the other suggestion here indicates that is simplified using the harness they posted a link to. If it works as he suggest, would simplify things as well as you're still going to need to pull the HU. Th at leaves the connections to the HU as you would still need to run a lead from the HU’s remote turn on to the amp (since you have to pull the HU anyway, or you could have just used an ignition lead from the fuse box) to run the RCA’s to that amp. The recoil amp's got a pretty small footprint, should fit under one of the seats? If you know how to mount the fuse 18” from the battery and drill through the fire wall or use existing ports of entry( that's what she said) and how to ground the amp (if under the seat, usually directly to the seat mounting bolt), not very difficult at all. Experinced,2-4 hours, not so much, plan on taking a day off. ;) [/QUOTE]
