Hi all, Looking to upgrade my stereo and looking for a good shop or private individual to help. Thanks, Nelson

What are you looking to upgrade to?

I live in boulder, I've done a lot of work of stereo work on my own stuff, depending on what you want to do I'd be able to at least answer a few questions

I am looking to improve my sound. I struggle to hear the system when top is down. So if I have to replace everything I would. Or if I can do specific changes I up for that too.

Thanks,

Nelson

Like the others said it depends on what you want out of it. Do you like to burn your own music, you would want to change out the HU and get one that plays MP3s. If the speakers aren't kicking out enough power, some guys have kept the HU and gotten amps and new speakers.

I just replaced everything on mine, because with what I wanted it was just easier. It seems a little intimidating, but it isn't really that hard at all, maybe a little time consuming, pulling everything out/off. It took me a weekend to get mine in, a new HU, component speakers in front, coaxials in back (most people just pull theres out and dont even use rear speakers), a cd changer and the amp.

Here are some helpful links:

A basic car audio site that has really good info, if you don't know much at all.

A car audio forum that can answer any question you could possibly come up with or if you want to read evaluations on systems or compenents.
http://forum.elitecaraudio.com/

A link that has links to on-line places that sell equipment. You can probably save at least 30% if you do it all yourself. Just make sure they have warranty's on the equipment you buy.

A guy here on the forum sells the mounts for the door speakers and faceplaces for the HU. I just cut my own using the existing as a template, but would definitely use his if it had been available when I put mine in.

And the audio section here is pretty good at answering or giving advice for sure.

As the other guys said, if I can answer anything else or anything let me know.

Bandit,

Thanks for the info. I will for sure look into this. I do burn music so I will be replacing the HU and also the door speakers and then adding a couple of small subs behind the seats. With the convertible it is pointless to have anything behind where the top comes down.

Thanks again,

Nelson
