I just got satelite radio and a couple of infinity subs(10s). I want to retain the stock head unit(yes i read the sticky, but that is another language to me) what needs to be done? Are there any special parts I need to buy, such as adapters or anything like that I would need to buy. I have 2 phoenix gold amps that are 300x1 each and was just going to put 1 on each sub. They rms 250 watts and max at 1000.

What do you guys reccomend for the door and rear speakers without breaking the bank? Anything special about this install?

 

I just posted this question ......... go read the first 5-8 threads on this page and you will find the parts you need and some components people have bought...

 

The only adaptor you need is a line level converter. Will cost 20-30 dollars. And obviously you need an amp kit prob 4gauge. Just drop your car and equip off to the dealer and your good to go

 

Do you have the Bose system or not? That makes a big difference in what you need.

Don't take your car to the dealer for a stereo install.

 

acutrally there isnt much difference in parts...

if you ahve bose:

you MUST tap before the bose amp, as it is the bose amp that does most of the Eqing. you will want a lne out converter. Even though that signal is a balanced line, it is very weak, so hoenstly, most good line out converters will be fine (perhaps contrary to whats said in the sticky post above), the main problem at least IMO, with balanced lines is they are very high voltage, so most amps cannot handle it, but the G's balanced line out is so weak its not a big deal. but because its very weak, you rpobably need to turn your amp's gain up quite a bit or get a line driver to boost hte signal

if you DO NOT have bose, also just tap afterthe headunit as well, its a normal unbalanced high voltage output. so any line out converter will be fine

I dont have the BOSE system, I will check your thread out.

 

What should I get to replace the door speakers?

 

Whatever sounds good to you.

 

Hey good advice!!! I havent really been into stereos for about 4 years and am not really sure what is out there. I was just lokking for a little advice?

 

You need to go to some audio shops and listen. People like different things. Your budget will also determine what you get.
