[QUOTE="Doxquzme, post: 8865912, member: 689267"] First, your OEM systems use many different setups to accomplish what "they" think you want to hear. Your OEM setup might use 12 speakers to accomplish these things, you may need lf that depending on other factors. If you want' fairly unbiased help/suggestions (not motivated by sales quotas anyway) then I'd back it up a bit. Start by listing the basics. The year, make and model of you vehicle. Since you don't care about retaining the features the OEM "infotainment" has, you might be able to use the OEM head unit for the sound signal source, but depending on which amplifier(s) you go with, you may or may not not need the wiring interface that some are trying to suggest. These can add to the cost but in many instances, they also significantly improve the ability to shape the sound the systems will produce. Goal. What is the objective? Loud at all cost, sound quality with modest volume or sound quality with the ability to really play loud too. Connectivity. Bluetooth connectivity, streaming, CD/DVD playback options, where are you most likely to source your music? Budget. There are no shortage of people with experience in here that are happy to help you spend your $$$ but having that other information and your budget keeps it in line with that objective and a much higher probability that you will be happy with the outcome.
