Hi people

I have a 4.6IS 2002 and it has standard dsp sound 10 speaker setup and subwoofer

So i wanted to upgrade the sound but i wouldnt know where to start

So who can do it?? any users on here who can do it??

or do i have to use a company??

im thinking either

new upgraded head unit
new amps
speakers
sub

or maybe just

new amps
speakers
sub

thanks for your input in advance

Hi there.

I had the factory nav/DSP/etc and have gone down the aftermarket route.

It's fairly straight forward if you are going down the aftermarket headunit, amps, speakers route as you can just bypass all the factory equipment and recoup some of the money by selling these bits on. Only thing with the aftermarket route is you will lose the OBC functionality (resetting the mpg, etc) so as long as you don't mind that then it's all good.

As for fitting, I can certainly do it (or you can DIY it) but you certainly don't have to go to company.

Good luck with your decision.

Hi raj

Thanks for the reply

Il be doing this in the next month or so

And sounds good to me I could bring it to you.

In terms of what il need can you give me a list so I can see what sort of money I'm looking at as I've just spent 3k on my Evo lol

Firstly I'd set some kind of budget to try and work to. You also need to decide what headunit for example, as if you decide on a double din unit then you need to factor in a fascia plate, etc to fit the OE gap.

Budget wise I'm thinking around £1k maybe something like a hauligen etc as I want to have the sat Nav Bluetooth etc

I already have a four channel amp which I could use
The speakers won't cost much I guess

Main thing is all the Dsp wiring I'm the boot
