I have a 2000 Ford F-150 that is an old work truck that just have a standard factory radio w/ a tape deck in it. I am looking to upgrade it and get something better but have some questions first.
Why I am not looking for something that can be heard miles away but I just need to know what all I need to purchase for a good set-up
1. I want to get a decent radio with a USB port for my iPod or iPhone. I have been looking at some Pioneer systems but didn't know which brand is the best at this time. What is the Top 3-5 brands right now and which should I look at and compare for my needs.
2. Extra speakers. I want to put a couple of speakers, nothing big but just to have some music behind me also. Do I need/should go with the same brand as my audio system or should I go with a certain brand. I have a solid bench seat and they will have room behind the seat without being noticed.
3. Subwoofers or other things I don't know anything about. Are they needed or is it just more of a personal choice? Like I said earlier, I am not looking to have the truck rocking but just be able to listen to my music at a decent level.
4. Anything I did not cover that needs to be covered and I should be advised on. I know better than to go to most stores and ask for help being I will be sold extra stuff that isn't needed by me.
Thank you for all your help
