if i was to change the stock head unit to a sony xplod after market head unit would i have to change any of my stock speakers or the sub??....and is there an adapter which would allow me to use the steering wheel controls wit the radio even thoguh im changin the head unit?

 

Yes, you can keep all your speakers but, after listening, you will probaly want to change them out. But, you will be fine with them.

You can do a search on here for the adapter. People have tried it.

 

couldnt have said it better.

i thought the stock speakers were great, but now they're killin me and im upgrading to the dbs. as far as the stearing controls.... there is a adapter but changing the volume is slow. stock headunits have about 20 levels, sony has like 40-50. so it would take twice the amount of time to get from level to level. i hope that made sense..........

 

thank ya'll for da information it was very helpful

 

After reading some of the posts, I put in 4 Polk db650s this weekend (6.5"). They fit perfectly in the door cutouts and you can reuse the factory spacer/moisture cover as well (just twist off the 'tabs').

Excellent upgrade for not a lot of $$!! Next week the stock bass speaker goes and after that the stock head unit!

 

how much did u pay for the speakers and wat size sub are u goin for???

 

You can find them for $99 per pair almost anywhere. My local Fry's Electronics was running a 'buy a pair get a pair 50% off' so i ended up paying $150 for all 4!

Not sure of the sub - i'm debating on using a shallow 8-10" mounted in the factory space (see other threads) or getting an enclosure of some sort and using a Fosgate amp to drive it: I'll let you know.

 

you are going to loose the sub if you change the headunit....

 

dam u got away wit a good ass price lol and yea let me know wat u doin wit ur sub
