No matter what I do I can't get the radio to sound "right". Anyone else have this problem

 

I have the stock radio in my 01 TT. I could just be the worst car stereo ever in the history of car stereos. Lucky I have a Fabspeed exhaust to listen to.

 

I replaced my Headunit with an Alpine I had in my truck and it made it sound a lot better.

 

I have one of those to and was hoping to drown out the "drone" with some heavy thumpin tunes!!,

 

Did you just cahnge out the head unit, no amps or any other upgrades?
Thanks

 

maximus do u have a cd changer ?? cuase im looking to replace my crappy deck also, and was looking for a deck that can control the factory cd changer also....

 

No, but I am going to research the hell out of it and I will let you know what I find out

 

the stock systems are complete garbage. your much better off just listening to the sweet noise from the exhaust!!

replacing the headunit will make a considerable difference in sound quality...but it still leaves a lot to be desired.

 

I was wondering whether it would be better to replace the head unit or the speakers. (Obviously, replacing both is ideal) I replaced just the speakers in my truck and it made a world of difference.

 

Head unit for sure before speakers as they are decent. Do you have a BOSE car? Head unit replacement is tricky.

 

I've got the nav system, I can't wait to find out what that will cost to change

 

I just replaced my NAV unit with a Kenwood DDX7019 dual DIN touch screen with Sirius, IPOD and bluetooth phone...figure on $2K or so.

 

How do you like it?. Did you need to add any amps/speakers?, Did you install yourself?.

Thanks

 

Great so far (4 days in). Only thing I need to add is a 4channel amp because I get a bit of echo listening to talk radio - caused by my car having the Digital Sound Processing option. If you like a TON of base, maybe a sub. Sound quality is better than with the stock head unit, stereo shop did the install and recommended that I leave the stock speakers in (and that's a first in my experience). Sirius and IPOD interface work perfectly, phone calls go through the unit as well.

 

Thanks I will search one out by me and get a price with the amp and sub. Anyone know a good shop northwest suburbs chicago?
