I have 96 Explorer with the premium audio I believe with the 6 CD changer, I know that if I get a new stereo I'll have to ditch the CD changer which I don't have a problem with.
First off, I need some suggestions for a new HU and some speakers, all together I would like to keep it around $200, and possibly upgrade in the future. So any input on some fairly cheap good equipment would be really appreciated.
Secondly, I'm not sure if I would have to rewire the whole audio system with like 12 or 16 gauge or if I should just leave it as is for now.
Lastly, I have the 4 door with the amp in the rear quarter panel, but what I'm not to sure about is if I should power the speakers through the factory amp, ditch the amp completely, or wait even longer to buy an amp.
I'm going on a 2 week road trip in August so I would like to get this stuff together by then. Any help/input is really appreciated. Thank You!
