2004 Explorer EB
Last week I picked up a very clean 2004 Eddie Bauer Explorer from a family member that will serve as my daily driver. First thing I usually do with a vehicle is replace the headunit. This time I am jumping in all the way and will be replacing everything. I have spent hours reading this section of the forum and have found some really helpful information.

So far I have ordered:

Pioneer AVH-X2700BS (Received)

2 x Kicker 41KSC684 (On the way)

Hopefully everything will be received by Wednesday and everything will be installed by the end of the week. After that is all said and done I plan on replacing the factory sub and amp with these:

Kicker CompRT Shallow 8" Sub

Rockford Prime R150x2 Amp

I am open to an suggestions, tips, or feedback.
