    Hi Everyone -

    I'm not an audio type of person, but I do want to upgrade my stereo system. I have been very resistant to changing out my stock radio, but after researching all the speakers. I may not get the improvement I'm seeking unless I upgrade the radio. Initially I was just going to replace the speakers, but now I'm looking at a double din stereo that looks generic or close to stock. I don't need someone looking in the window and destroying my truck to get the stereo out.

    I was looking at the Kenwood Excelon DPX794BH, it's the most stock looking stereo I could find. I don't need touch-screen, I just need buttons, volume knob, and some decent specs to handle speakers without an amp.

    https://www.crutchfield.com/p_113DPX794B/Kenwood-Excelon-DPX794BH.html - Comparing the stereos it has great specs, but if there is a cheaper radio with same specs and looks that will be great too. I'm also looking at these set of speaks to Rockford fosgate R152-s for the front and Rockford fosgate R1525x2 for the rear.

    Later down the road maybe under the seat sub woofer from rockville.

    Let me know if that will be a good combo if you don't mind? or any changes that need to be made. thanks in advance for any suggestions or comments.
