Need Advise $500 Budget build
I am thinking about replacing the Bose system in my 94. I have no clue what to get and I keep changing my mind. So I am looking advise. I would like to keep everything stock looking except for the head unit.
For the head unit I would like it to have Bluetooth, Pandora control, and be able to play from usb. I want a double din unit. I would like to stick with the mainstream brands (Kenwood, Pioneer, Alpine)I am thinking that I like the touch screen models. I like the fact that all the models that I am looking at have a usb port on the back so I can hide the usb port in the console.
I have no clue about speakers. I am thinking 6x9 in the back and 5 1/4 in the front. I will be making new front and rear enclosures out of wood for both stock locations.
I am not sure if I should get a small amp to run the speakers or not. If I do I would like to hide that also.
I will be doing the install myself.
