Anyone upgraded their car audio with aftermarket parts? Speaker size on doors? Any limitations that they found?

 

[Joegaz1]

I upgraded mine with a Fischer Match system. Sound is much cleaner.

Never heard of them, yet! Are those 6.5 speakers....subs or speakers? Speakers under the floor mat tire area wouldnt be very loud I wouldnt think. 6.5 inch subs under there doesnt seem like it would be much either.....let me know

 

[Joegaz1]

They are subs. It's not going to thump your ass going down the road, but the bass is clearly present with this system. The tinny sound of the stock system is gone. This is all about being much cleaner at any volume

 

[dgian232001]

Agreed on the cleaner part. What system did it come with stock...how many speakers in the car?

 

[dgian232001]

What was the price of this system compared to buying the factory Fender system online?

 

[Joegaz1]

4 full range & 4 tweets. I kept stock speakers knowing they would handle extra wattage

 

[Joegaz1]

The cost from Germany was about $800 US. I wasn't aware that you could buy the factory Fender system aftermarket

 

[dgian232001]

Yes Ive seen them for sale. Could just be someone selling theirs or on a website, forget where I saw it. How much was the Match system if I may ask

Did you hook it up yourself? How tough? Connections behind the infoentertainment? Where did you install the amp?

 

[dgian232001]

I am looking to upgrade sound as well. Ive installed many systems in my life, but curious as to how hard or what tools are needed to remove that infoentertainment system

Getting plug & play wiring harness was tight but worked out OK. You just need to remove c/d player and plug in harness. I put the DSP amp under passenger seat.

 

[Joegaz1]

Tools I used;
Robot Check

 

[dgian232001]

So you only have to remove the CD player from the glove box??? WOW that wouldnt be hard. What connection is behind it? AUX output?

 

[Joegaz1]

No aux out. The 52 pin bulkhead connector has to be disconnected so you can plug in the adapter harness. There are about 7 connectors back there including optical depending on what system you have. Everything in the audio system goes thru the c/d player

Do you have a link or site where you purchased the connector? Also, did you upgrade the factory amp? If so, where was it? Thanks James

I ordered from carfeature.de - Car Hifi Shop in Germany. Part number is PP-AC-92B.
I did not buy the Atlas premium, so no factory amp came with the car. I mounted the new amp under passenger seat with velcro.
