Does this sound like a legit upgrade package?

[QUOTE="Murphy1979, post: 8693269, member: 678715"] Hello. I bought a 2017 Subaru Crosstrek, and am displeased with the stock stereo. My previous car was a 2010 Subaru Outback with a factory installed Harmon Kardan upgrade. It wasnt the best, but it was fine with me, and I'm trying to match or exceed the sound of that system. I am not an audiophile and have next to no knowledge about stereos, so I asked a highly rated local installer and he recommended this upgrade package. Does this sound like a good build? " using Kicker door speakers and tweeters, Pioneer 5 channel amp, kicker 10" sub, Audio Control DQ-61 and installation is roughly $xxxx before tax. As long as you plan on retaining your stock radio, it will be the weakest component in your audio chain. The DQ-61 helps clean up the signal. Best option is to replace your radio, which would take the total to roughly $xxxx installed before tax" After I asked him to explain the radio replacement... "All factory options are retained, camera, steering wheel controls, usb/aux. Replace with 7" touchscreen Pioneer with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, 13 band EQ, and internal audio controls to reproduce the best sound possible. Radio part number AVH2500NEX. If equipped with XM, an additional part is required to that feature." [/QUOTE]
