Default 2013 1LT Base Stereo Upgrade Recommendations

Folks -

Just picked up a 1LT Coupe (coming out of a 08 3LT w/ Nav).
Anyway - I figured i'd upgrade the system, and have done installs "back in the day" so was hoping for some recommendations.

Ideally, i'd probably like to keep the head unit and upgrade amps/speakers/sub.

However - if the head unit swap makes sense/easier, then i'm good w/ that. Nav is not a must, but would be neat.

Anyway - my budget is tight. I am thinking 1K max

Any recommendations/advice?

Thanks,

Aceman

thx for the quick response...I'm just looking for crisp clean music i can crank on occasion...I listen to 80's rock/70's and some pop...
would not be averse to a sub but not mandatory. I really want something that when i crank the volume i don't hear distortion/vibration/etc...

Call Dennis at Double D Mods. He can set you up with what you need and want. He is a forum vendor. Plus he is great also.

~$400 - 10" fiberglass corner sub box
~$300 - 4 channel bridgeable amp
~$200 - 6.5" front components
~$100 - misc wires & DIY Add-GM24
$1000 for a very good sounding amp/sub/speaker setup with oem radio

I'm sure Dennis can even send it all in one box if you gave him a call
