I will soon replace my front speakers b/c they're shot and I'm also gonna get a couple subs. My friend will do the installation for me smile.gif. I just wanted to ask for your opinion on what brands are best. Should I change the stock head unit, too? Thanks

SO, now the question is, how are you going to get signal to those subs?

Without getting a new HU; you're going to get lower quality sound out of your subs- no matter what; because they have to use high level inputs instead of RCA ins.

Furthermore, this might lesson the quality of one of your speakers (or just cut itout entirely) because now it's power is providing signal power for the subwoofer.

Ladies ladies ladies...there is a device out there called a high/low converter aka line out converter. This taps into the front right and left speaker outputs from the hu and converts it into an rca preout! it also has a built in crossover so u can adjust it to how you want it to sound. so no lame ass high level amp inputs or that stuff. you will still get increddible sound from the hu. the only thing it lacks is a 4volt preout (which wont add that much power considering my friend (rider) has tos of mid bass from his components); also he wont have sub control from the hu...BUT the rf amp comes with a gain remote control so all he has to do is turn a knob mounted somewhere by the steering wheel to ajdust the bass of the subs.....ANY MORE QUESTIONS???!!!?!?!?! and it will not take away any of the signal from the front speakers...AT ALL.....trust me guys, i know my stuff, im an MECP qualified installer
