Hello, I am looking to put a build together for my wife in her 2009 ford edge. I am seeking advice on decent parts that fit a $1000 budget all included (and yes I know that doesn't get you far in car audio). Some feautures she sees as important is the ability to control her spotify in the HU, RGB on the HU ( would like alexa in the HU if possible or just any way for voice communication controls) on par sound stage, time alignment on the HU, must be double din, mid bass doesn't need to punch your chest but enough to know it exists, coaxial or component doesn't matter but since I will be doing the install I would prefer coaxial (because I hate finding perfect tweeter mount positions), sound clarity clear enough to notice all instruments but i dont need to hear a pin drop in the background as far as amp/s go she doesn't care if its 2 seperate or 1 or any functions on it I just want everything to be propely powered, the sub cant take up to much room as we need a stroller and other family function needs, I have thought about giving her my sub and amp Pioneer TS-W261D4 sub and JBL GTX500 amp with a sealed box but im not set on it ( I just want an excuse to upgrade mine) I know ported is usually the go to in suv but I dont want to spend a fortune on a box especially since the sub only exists to add to the atmosphere it is not what she is concerned about especially since there will be a 4 month old in the car, but i am looking for suggestions, I will put knukoncepts wiring to everything because I am not skimping out again like i did in my car just to buy new wiring later on, sound deadening is not important the car is already quiet. the speakers HU and amp is what will be bought and installed first the sub system later on thank you for your time and any suggestions.
