I'm in no way an audiophile anymore. Don't care if it's ear drum breaking loud or anything like that. So an expensive stereo is out of the question. But in process of adding an ipod to my truck, I opted to just replace the whole head unit to gain control of the ipod, instead of just getting like a USA spec box to port the sound in.

So I dumped my infinity head unit (RAZ) and bought a Pioneer Premiere model.
I was pretty happy with the stock sound, with the exception of low end capacity...but this new head unit, tied into the stock amp...has seriously brought this system TO LIFE! I get WAY better low end now, much snappier mids and the the highs seem more vibrant.

Granted, I still need to get my sub installed....

Just excited and wanted to share.

 

haha, well glad your excited. yea its pretty amazing how a simple head unit swap can alter the sound. i havent had a vehicle yet where i didnt replace the stock head unit

 

I hear ya..I just installed a pioneer deh-p7100bt last week. It is crazy what that thing can do for just 2 1/2 bills.

 

thanks, I was wondering if it would make a large difference. I have bought a nice new unit for my ipod a couple months ago, But haven't got a chance to install it yet.
