I've already got a blown speaker in my brand new truck (<2,000 miles ) and instead of trying to get it replaced under warranty (they fuckin suck anyways), I figured I minus whale just upgrade.
Here's my criteria:
-Want to keep factory head unit. Aftermarkets look like shit IMO.
-DON'T want subs of any sort. I can't stand overbearing bass.
-Clear and quality sound is what I'm going for. Preferrably loud as well.
I'm thinking about just replacing the two factory 6.75" speakers and two tweeters with a nice component setup + a nice amp to drive them. (Don't you have to have a pre-amp output on the headunit to do this?)
I'm not up to par on my stereo equipment, so, what's a damn good brand(s) for both the speakers and amp these days? I'm willing to pay for it if it's quality, so price isn't tooooooo big of a deal (no $5,000 speakers though, please).
-Is Boston acoustic still good?
Last question. Who'd be a good stereo shop to go to to buy this stuff? Every one I've ever seen seems to be shady as hell. I might do the install myself, and I might not. Haven't decided yet, so someone who takes pride in their installs would be a big plus.
kthxbye
p.s. yes, I searched.
