Default C5 Audio Equip Upgrade...

I've researched this a bit and the most recent information on this forum seems to be quite old ~5 years or so...Does anyone have new experience or advise as to the best options on audio equipment upgrades for the C5. I'd be looking for Audio, Navigation, etc., along with with speakers, sub woofer, etc. Thanks!

Contact Dennis at Double D Mods. He seems to have the latest and greatest and can modify your dash panel for a big screen nav. He is a vendor on this site and can be found in the vendor list.

The only upgrade I've done so far is adding a sub and amp. it really livens up the sound. Next will be a speaker upgrade.
BTW, got the sub and box from Dennis

The C5 system is actually pretty simple when using the correct harness to retain stock radio and add new audio or using correct harness and retaining the stock audio with aftermarket radio.

The only ones who tell you its complicated are the dealers who want to sell you stuff your not really needing I have found in most cases.
