[QUOTE="rooty-j, post: 8835417, member: 688519"] Thanks for any comments here. I want my audio to sound better, good enough, but not an overly expensive build. For example, in my last a ride, a Ford Expedition, I used the factory head unit to power a pair of $300 Focal component speakers up front. The Focals were high sensitivity speakers. I also added a LoC/Amp/Sub in the back. All of that was totally good enough. I love quality sound, I just use my 2-channel home setup for reference-grade listening. For my 2023 Telluride EX, here's my rough plan. First, I'll install front speakers, either Infinity Reference REF-6530cx or Focal ISU 165. If they sound good, then I won't need a DSP amp. I'll then add a powered sub using a line output converter, like a LC7i. If those front speakers sound bad without added power, I'll add a 5-channel DSP amp, like a AudioControl D-6.1200 or JL Audio VX700/5i, with a passive sub. Dropping in front speakers is so easy that this is a simple experiment to take in phases. It seems that a DSP-amp combo offers the cleanest install and often savings compared to a separate DSP and amp. Do you all have any other suggestions here if I go that route? Many thanks for any comments. [/QUOTE]
