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
 . I just wanted to ask for your opinion on what brands are best. Should I change the stock head unit, too? Thanks

Wow, good for you Mr Benz man; guess what- he DOESN'T have a benz, his CD player is a CRUMMY OEM toyota CD player; it converts the signal to ANALOG after reading it digitally Of course I've heard a line out converter- and probably unlike you, I actually know how to make one with the right parts- because I know how they're made I have the unique ability to tell you how crappy they convert the signal- what you're suggesting is akin to an analog RCA signal being almost equal to a digital opticat or coax signal- thats how wrong you are. An aftermarket HU is almost always better than the one built into the car- and on our cars an aftermarket HU looks FINE; our HUs AREN'T built into the dash- so stop acting like they ARE You're wrong on a number of issues, and everyone knows this BUT you- which tells me you'll like any number of "MECP certified installers" who don't know jack **** about anything- because most of them don't; which is why the only smart way to do an installation is to do it yourself. If you really are MECP certified. This post has been edited by shid: Oct 22, 2004 - 1:34 AM |
