Shogun506
i have 2009 mcintosh and amps .
im happy with it ! it s all depend what you expect and what you pay for .
in my head its sound better than oe unit , but not big difference , i have oem lgt speakers so i need speakers upgrade
why i went this way ?
i like the oem look better than aftermaket unit , it fill up the dash better
the price , i only wanted to ad Auxiliary jack , same price if you buy a 2009 usdm oem unit and way cheaper than buy jdm hvac and aftermaket radio
for sure you will have better sound with aftermarket radio and way more option
but i can still separate the hvac from my mcintosh and add an aftermaket unit !
if you can score an unit , amps and all speakers that will be great !
the system is one more tweeter on mirrors cover and a 4 inch in the panel door . like say wrx usa need panel door grille or work something aftermarket .
