I plan on getting a couple of subs and was wondering how much different in sound quality there would be if i am running a stock HU compared to the nakamich cd-400??? My plan is to get to Shivas and a memphis 500 watta amp to power them. If it would not sound good using the high level output i would then get the Nakamichi CD-400. If i would have to get one i would use it to power the front as there is a separate amp in the back for the back speakers(stock). I would also be using a bought enclosure because i dont want to build one. What do you think of this??? These are the specs on the sub enclosure

ok, you'd be much happier with the aftermarket headunit, it'll have alot more control (EQ wise.

Just on a side note, if you plan on installing the headunit yourself i hope you know what your doing because its a pain to wire an aftermarket headunit to work with a stock amp, i think you're actually just gonna have to bypass that amp...

Why would it be hard to do it with the stock amp?

would it be a good idea to just get a cheap 2 channel amp to power a couple 6X9's. My plan right now is to get a pair of 6.5" 3-way co-axials and power them with the cd-400 because they are only 15 watts rms. Would i really need the 6X9's at all then after i get the shivas?

i got one word on the factory headunit to the replacement "voltage" that factor alone will make a major diference in the quality of sound in your system the more you have and your amps can handle the better
