    Gonna be installing a Kenwood Excelon 4 channel 400 watt amplifier to upgrade the sound of my stock speakers on my eco two. I'm hoping it will end up sounding better than the stock JBL system in the touring models. This is the first stage of my sound upgrade plan. Any ideas, comments, complains?

    I started my audio upgrade with just an amp. I wasn't impressed with the sound after just installing the amp. I ended up replacing the speakers and head unit in the end.

    It's a Rockford Fosegate amp. Once I replaced the head unit I was able to adjust the eq and time alignment and it sounds amazing.

    I didn't replace the head unit. I left the stock head unit and speakers. Instead I installed a five channel Alpine amp powering up the stock speakers and an eight inch JL Audio Subwoofer. It sounds awesome. Loud and clear. Eventually I'll replace all stock speakers with JL Audio coaxial and components, and upgrade to a 10 inch sub and it'll be set. Moving on to the ruins afterwards.

    Bro is the amp plug and play, I bought 4pcs JBL GTO629 Premium 6.5-Inch Co-Axial Speaker - Set of 2


    my friend have this in his corolla it sound so remaking clear, and bought a Pioneer TS-A878 3 1/2 Inch 2-Way Speakers


    But he has an android 2 din stereo upgrade with built in amp it sounded so darn crisp and clear.

    I wanted to change the amp 2 but I want something line plug and play.
