Been lurking around this forum for a while and decided to join the fun. I am planning on replacing my entire audio system. (head unit, speakers, wiring) I have a few questions I would like to list.
1. Guides that people have done pictures would be great, of removing door panels, removing factory sub and amp, Removing head unit??
2. I used to have the large 2 sub boxes and amps in my cars but would like to avoid having all that clutter in my explorer. Can I achieve close to that much sound by replacing the factory sub and amp with some better stuff? Recommendations? I was looking at a JBL 8" sub and a 220RMS profile amp.
3. My new head unit has a wired AUX input much like my factory stereo, Will the factory plug mounted on my console wire in easily into my new unit? Just Splice the wires?
4. For my new system I was looking at 4-6x8's JBL speakers for the doors pushed by a 4 channel profile amp. And a 8" jbl sub pushed my a mono amp. I checked out 5 channel amps and the quality didnt seem as good as going 2 separate amps. Would it be better to get the 4ch amp or get a 2ch amp to push the 4 speakers, Price? can it be done?
Any other recommendations would be great. Would love to see what others have done.
