[QUOTE="egroeg555, post: 8136636, member: 656059"] Yes the HU can be replaced in my car, but I my loose some controls and such. As far as I can tell listening to the stereo now, the factory HU seems very underpowered, and audio quality is not so great. That is why I am concerned. Though I guess this sound processor + factory HU is an okay solution? Though I'm concerned that I'd be really expensive. The shop quoted me about 1,800$ for front speakers, sound processor, amp install. Is that typical? Think I could talk them down a bit? I'm not totally opposed to doing an install myself, but I'm not sure what components to get, and I'm concerned about it getting too involved. I installed speakers and a HU in my previous car, but didn't do any re-wireing or amps. [/QUOTE]
