I just picked up an 06 GT vert mainly for the wife. It has the standard system. I would like to upgrade the system for improved sound and more features. I am looking at a head unit along the lines of a Pioneer Avic d3, Kenwood DDX 512, and a similar Eclipse whose model number escapes me at the moment. I am open to other suggestions on a HU so long as it has Nav, DVD, and will operate an Ipod from the touchscreen.
For speakers I was considering simply replacing the 4 stock 6x8s with some 3 or 4 way Pioneers. I am also looking for suggestions on better options for speakers. Component type that will fit in the stock locations possibly.
I was then going to try the system with just the HU driving the speakers to see if it was acceptable. If not I was then going to add a single 4 channel amp to drive the speakers. I can just go straight to the amp if you are certain that the HU alone wont produce adequate sound quality/volume. I also will consider adding a second amp and sub if necessary.
Also I know that sound is subjective but my goal is a nice clean sound with adequate volume for a convert. Not at all concerned with impressing/annoying people at a stoplight with the "boom...boom" coming from my car. Any help in picking the right stuff the first time is greatly appreciated. And I will be installing it myself. Im very mechanically inclined, just not an audiophile.
