Plug and Play All the Things!

Spoiler
 



Luckily I also don't care too much about having the very best audio quality. I just want ease of installation. That's it.
So I found these threads about plug and play replacements. Just wanted to see if the community has a consensus on better options than these?

Head unit:
The Tesla-style head unit thread that's everywhere is PnPish and the only real option in my mind in terms of aesthetics. The stock head unit location is just shit.

Amp:
Mobilemax
Other options?

Speakers:
jbl gto608c
PnP according to this thread
He mentions PnP adapters for speakers so maybe other options available that use these adapters? The adapters weren't linked

Mobile max has speaker sets that are claimed to be PnP link
Anyone used them?


Drop-in replacement sub:
I SWEAR I'M NOT A SHILL
Mobilemax has a package for this. Any other options?

It is great that audio quality is not a concern. You should be satisfied with those options.

Another option:

Head unit:

Alpine ILX-W650

Amps:

KTA-450: 4 channel amp
KTA-200M: mono amp

One amp mounted behind the head unit and the other mounted in the kick panel where it can replace the OEM amp. You just have to figure out the powers and grounds. I'm surprised Mobile Max Audio doesn't offer a kit with the Alpine setup.

Speakers & Sub:

Your choice since the Alpine amps handle 4-ohms.

You said that plug and play capability is more important to you than audio quality. your selections are fine with that goal in mind. Although the tesla screen option I would not consider to be a simple install. most people that want plug and play are not comfortable enough removing and replacing the center stack and OEM HU.
