    That's exactly what I was envisioned AND was trying to avoid, at least today.

    It's really not that difficult. I bought everything from Crutchfield, and they have pretty good instructions, based on specific models.

    It's good. It's a Pioneer deck, Boston Acoustic door speakers, and a slick little Kicker sub under the seat. I'm kinda big on not carving stuff up, and all of this fit in with no mods.

    To me, it's way better than stock, which I ripped out after a year of owning the truck. These pics are from October of 2012, so while the truck is still fairly clean, I am sure it is not as clean as your pristine biznitch!

    Hit up Crutchfield if you want to put in a good system, and I can help you put it in!

    I changed out my head unit, but not the speakers, and it made a dramatic difference in sound quality. If you have touch screen though, I'd keep that and change out speakers.

    Yeah, wanting to keep the head unit stock.

    Just wondering if it will all work out in the end.

    Sure, you may have to amplify the new speakers, but you can do that after you put the speakers in if you need.

    Wouldn't you like to know!
    Did you put an amp on the door speakers? What kind(Brand) of door speakers? Did you make your own speaker adapters? :popcorn:
