I've been keeping an eye out for the Rosen unit, as I have one in my wife's vehicle and really like it. I've got to say that price is absolutely cRaZy for what is essentially a bezel, an 8" screen, and nav. It doesn't upgrade any of the underlying radio components, such as upgrading the amp...

It should sound pretty good (without breaking the bank). I'm running something similar right now (except no subwoofer yet ) with Polk components up front and coaxials in the rear. I've got an Audiocontrol LC2i, MTX 10" subwoofer, and US Acoustics mono sub amp sitting on my workbench waiting to...

Put me down for a T-Harness for the base radio!

I've been considering trying some Tang Band 6.5" subwoofers from Parts Express in the rear deck. Haven't pulled the trigger on anything yet. I've used some cheap 8" subs in infinite baffle in the rear deck of another car with acceptable results. Which 6.5" subwoofers are you looking at?

I mounted the polk crossover in the door near the woofer and ran new wiring from the crossover through the Molex connector to the tweeter. The crossover is a vital piece to a component set and matched to its woofer and tweeter combo. The sound improvement is significant over stock, but it...

I dremel'd out the hole and used the surface mount cup that came with the tweeters. I used a hot glue gun to fasten the surface mount cup to the back of the A-pillar. The tweeter then pops in from the front. You have to also dremel out the factory tweeter mounting plastic in the rear of the...

That's cRaZy expensive! If it's nothing but adding a touchscreen w/nav and HDMI input, I'll pass! For that kind of dough, I'd expect a full radio replacement along with the touchscreen w/nav. It would need to include a full set of inputs/outputs (pre-amp level), on-board apps that can be...

I e-mailed Rosen a couple of days ago asking when the product will be released and what is its MSRP. This is what I got back: Hi Colin, The item below is not in our system. Please contact your sales person for assistance. Thank you, Terra AAMP Global Customer Solutions Team...

I'd throw in a third vote for KnuKonceptz. I've been using their stuff for at least 15yrs and have always been very pleased with their quality.

Thanks. I went through some empty spots in the Molex connector. It is a bit tedious, and you'll need to use some very small gauge speaker wire. You'll split the twin pair speaker wire into single wires to fit through unused connection points in the Molex connector. Use a small drill bit to...

The woofers mounted directly to the doors (need to drill new mounting holes for the sheet metal screws). I mounted the crossovers to the doors too in the spot where the factory mid would have been mounted. I mounted the tweeters by cutting/removing the factory plastic bracket and then using...

The Polks come with some adapter rings that can be used to install them. However, there are large gaps around the speaker which significantly reduce the speaker's performance. The front/rear sound waves from a speaker must be isolated as much as possible, or you get sound cancellation. This...

I'm using the Polk DB6501 components up front and Polk DB651 coaxials in the rear. The sound is an upgrade over stock, but the stock head unit doesn't have enough power to push them to their potential. Changing the rear speakers didn't have much impact at all. The improvement in sound quality...

Rosen says during the first quarter of 2016. I think you're right on the price. I'm predicting an MSRP of $799.

That's what I remembered reading somewhere about the Raxiom unit, which makes me wonder if they'll be rebranding some version of the Tomtop unit or if they're cooking up something else entirely. I also have had no real issues with SYNC connectivity, although I use it primarily for just voice...

Anyone with any knowledge of the new Rosen head unit (demo'd at CES) versus the Tomtop or Raxiom units? Does this appear to be a worked over reissue of either one of those? It's supposed to be out in the first quarter of 2016. It looks like it has iGo Navigation and retains Sync, and I'm okay...

This is all very good input. I replaced my fronts with a set of Polk 6.5 components. They were a substantial upgrade from the stock speakers. I used some hushmat around the woofers which really punched up the bass from a set of 6.5 woofers. I flush-mounted the tweeters in the factory...
