I'm wanting to better the sound quality in my '11 without breaking the bank and keep it as stock looking as possible. Therefore I'd like to move my speakers/subs/amp/wiring from my '00 into my '11. My question is what do I need to make this work with the stock HU? I'd like to add an extra small amp for the door speakers and from what I've read in this thread all I need is a sound processor to allow me to hook my sub amp and (potential)4way amp up. Does this sound right to you guys? Also, since I'm impatient is there a place I can pickup a sound processor, since best buy doesn't seem to carry them?

 

I see you guys lookin....

 

Well, you will have to check whether the speakers are the right sizes to fit everywhere. I don't know what you had in your '00 or what electronics pkg you have on the '11.

Yes, a sound processor will allow you to "flatten" the signal from the stock head unit, and in some cases they now tune/equalize as well. I ordered mine, though, so I'm not sure who has them in stock at local shops.

You might also need to tap into your stock harnesses to get your signals--that's what I did. The only after-market harness to add an amplifier that I could find was from PAC, and that has their own IC in there doing some kind of flattening of the signal as well.

 

Unfortunately i dont recommend our add a amp harness for this application.It doesnt work like it should becasue the radio has a separate sub signal.So when our harness is used,it doesnt pass the sub signal due to the built in crossover.Your better off using a LOC and taping into the sub signal from the radio.
