I had originally planned on just installing a new HU and a sub/ amp in the future. After debating and deciding the car is going to be apart might as well do it all. First of all, I have the factory installed Bose in a 2011 3 Hatchback. I want a nice upgrade, but buy no means am I going to go into a sound competition. Plan removing all Bose stuff and installing 4 channel amp under passenger seat and mono under the drivers seat. I'd like to use the speaker wiring from the Bose harness for the new door speakers. I will run new power and ground wires, will reuse remote wire. I won't be reusing the center channel or two rear pillar speakers. I'd like to stay components up front and will buy new blank sail panels if new one's won't fit in existing panels. Don't really have a price ceiling, but I don't want to go crazy. I do want sound significantly better than stock. I see varying reports of speakers sizes so if it's not direct fit, please recommend adapters. Not particularly brand specificing, just want clarity and nice tight bass, not booming. I've already decided on a HU, just need all the other odds and ends.
Pioneer X5700-BHS
need :
front component speakers
rear coaxial speakers
mono amp for sub
4 channel amp for door speakers
adapter plates if necessary
sub
box for sub ( would like to retain my truck space within reason )
there are some other odds and ends I have planned and will figure out along the way ( adding usb plug to center console, sound deadening, etc. )
Really appreciated some recommendations. I will also be retaining steering wheel controls, although with the new HU, I may not use it.
