I will soon replace my front speakers b/c they're shot and I'm also gonna get a couple subs. My friend will do the installation for me
 . I just wanted to ask for your opinion on what brands are best. Should I change the stock head unit, too? Thanks

Right, but here's your problem. You, with the delux 8 speaker system; have TWO stock amps. Without getting a new HU; you're going to get lower quality sound out of your subs- no matter what; because they have to use high level inputs instead of RCA ins. Furthermore, this might lesson the quality of one of your speakers (or just cut itout entirely) because now it's power is providing signal power for the subwoofer. |

. I know it can be done b/c one of my friends has done it before. Posts in this topic
