Best Audio Upgrade Option Path and History

[Guest ElliottAugust]

I’ve got a 2016 premium, stock 7” HU (non-nav, non-HK), no upgrade packages

So this story starts a few months back when I finally pulled the trigger and ordered a Sony AX5000, but found it only pairs with one Bluetooth phone at a time. I swapped that for a JVC model, but the interface was too “futuristic” and hard to work with for my wife who I share the car with. So I returned that one as well. What I found with both head units was that the sound was much better since they both deliver much more power to the stock speakers.

Now I’m at a crossroads - I’ll be keeping the stock head unit and I’m trying to decide between a speaker upgrade (still underpowered at the head unit) or installing a Class D Amp (still weak speakers). There is a final destination of doing both, but I’m hoping for advice on which will be more effective out the gate.

I should also note that I’m not looking for booming bass (no sub), just enough lows to enjoy my music and have the sound quality I want.

Thanks in advance.https://19216811.cam https://xender.vip https://testmyspeed.onl

You might find you’ll get more replies when posting in the 90’s to present sub forum @ElliottAugust 

Don’t get me wrong, there will be some stez buffs in here, but being specific to your vehicle’s setup I reckon you’d get more specific replies in the other sub forum
