Audio Advice for 07 Touring (Bose)
Hi everyone, I'm just here to get some advice on what I should do to get the following while my Z gots the Blose. I'm currently finishing up grad school so my funds are a little bit limited so I don't want to dump like $3000 at once. But here's what I've came up with:
Priority:
Double din HU - Pioneer x930bt
iPod / Aux input interface
10" JL W7
Steering wheel controls
Would be nice to have
Reverse Camera
New component speakers
The Bose system is pretty bad when I crank up the Bass because the EQ is very hard to adjust precisely and music ends up sounding bland when Bass gets turned up. My friend let me ride in his Z this past weekend and his system just consists of a JL W6, stock everything else audio-wise. It sounded pretty amazing. It seems like the Bose speakers are fine when turned up, but it's mostly the Sub that's the culprit (due to EQ settings for bumping up the bass).
As for my situation, I would like to get the Pioneer x930bt double din HU as main priority so I can use my iPod or phone for music. Secondly on the list would be drop a 10" JL W7. Then afterwards, get new component speakers + speakers behind seats.
I'd like to spend $1-2k at a time to get my setup going. I've priced the headunit out to about $1000 with the iPod/aux interface, steering wheel controls, and reverse camera. So for the time being, while keeping everything else stock (not swapping out the bose speakers / subs), if I get the headunit do I need to get a new amp, and if I do need a new amp, what kind should I get? This is all keeping in mind I will upgrade to $400-500 component speakers down the road.
I also know the W7 + it's mono amp will total around $1k as well and maybe a few hundred more for a box.
So any suggestions?

I am actually getting a new system installed tomorrow actually. I would highly suggest these additional items:
-Decent amp. Trust me
-4 infinity speakers

I need some advice on planning. I don't really want to be dumping like 3-5k all at once. What I really want to do is get a double din HU 1st. Perhaps get an aftermarket amp too. But if I do that, can I still use my stock bose speakers / subs? Then later on, I upgrade my speakers / subs?
