Sound system

Can you post of a picture of your head unit installed? did you have to trim the bezel?

 

Hello all, I just installed my oem audio this past weekend,I am completely satisfied it does sound great, compared to the stock system. install was pretty straight forward just take your time.hope you all enjoy it as much as I do..if you have any questions feel free to ask..

 

Anything other than the stock speakers are going to sound good.

 

Got my door and dash speakers installed today, Am going to install the AMP and bass tomorrow. OEM Audio Plus.
Hope tomorrow goes as easy as today.

 

98% through. AMP and Sub woofer was easy. The wiring is the difficult part. Am going to try and finish on Friday. This crap is hard on a 67 year old grandpa!

 

For $1400. Can't you get a lot better system than the oem plus?

 

This is how I solved it....$650...

any picture of a after market unit?

 

Don't know about that.
I did not want to pay someone else to install the unit for me. It's advertised as a plug and play system ans so far it is as advertised. I wanted to do the job myself and my only complant is I'm not as young as I use to be.
Hang on guys, one day you'll know what I mean.

Best-

Let us know how you like it after you're done. Thanks!

 

Finished today. Sound is really really good. There's no comparsion to the cheap factory speakers. AMP and Sub woofer really makes a difference. Overall I'm pleased.

Let's see some pics......of the stereo setup

 

Yes.

The OEM Plus is a decent system but you are paying extra for OEM integration and it is more simplified for people to install. Still nothing wrong with it, but yeah for $1400 you could go a lot of different directions.

 

If the oem radio is anything like the 2015s its the radio thats the problem. I have the stock doors and when i put my single din jvc in it brought them to life. Non jbl aswell. I still want to upgrade them, but waaaaay better than before

 

I'm just finishing up a stereo upgrade (keeping stock head unit, Alpine SPR-60c 6.5 components for front doors, Alpine SPR-60 6.5 coaxial for rear doors, Alpine PDX-V9 and LC7i). Had a few "issues", but should be done Sat. night. This might need to go under the proctology area , but anyone that has installed a system put something over the top of the door speakers to "shed" water to the left or right and off the cone and crossover electronics. I haven't in the past and I would think that not much water should get down into the door panel if the windows were up, but curious.....

 

Wow, $1500 for OEM Plus? I was worried that the $700-800 more for jbl was too pricey. I too am trying to figure out if the jbl is worth it. I just don't want some third party kid installing my sound system and do a sloppy job, not to mention I can have the sub and amp perfectly hidden.

I'm not audiophile either but all I want is clear sound and LOUD when I want it to be. Like I want to be able to open my doors when playing volleyball and we can all easily enjoy the music without it being a faint noise. And of course some nice bass will be nice too.

I debating on the technology and premium package with JBL. While the damn thing cost over $3000 more, I think the only desired components I will really enjoy are the moonroof, jbl, and I guess heated seats like 4 months out of the year...so I'm hoping the audio is really worth it, lol.

Here is a link to jbl site describing its premium sound system:

I have the jbl in my 16. I think it sounds great. I have never done a crazy stereo upgrade in the past. It has always been just a new head unit or new speakers. All that being said the bass in the jbl sounds great and I really think it was worth the money but that's just me. A more sophisticated person may say that the system sucks.

 

No, I bought a dash mounting kit that fit it perfectly at a local audio store

 

Sound system gonna bring me back up
