Hello,

Just purchased a new FX45 high tech and want to put a new sound system in it. I was wondering if anyone out there has done this or if anyone has any pictures floating around of people that have. Your help is appreciated.

Thanks

the oem system is integrated to the HVAC circuitry (board) and simply cant be removed....


i have seen aftermarket installes (in the clock panel) that look okay, but, you're still left with double tuners.......


maybe enhancing the oem unit is an option??

What about keeping the existing head unit just replacing the speakers, adding subs and some amps?

that sounds like what you are going to do. just tap into the system via under the backseat..and hook up whatever you want. amps, subs, etc.

The Bose head unit feeds signal to the amp, which is in the rear hatch area. I think what you need to do is tap into those wires from the HU and drive the aftermarket amps using a speaker line to rca line driver(?). I am considering to do the same with mine as I have a bunch of pro audio components I have left over from my old car (Soundstream Reference amps, Polk MMs).

Sub/Amp upgrade

What I'd really like to do is mount an amp in the spare wheel well & a single 8" sub in the factory location. If possible I'd get power from the rear 12V receptacle & the speaker inputs from the existing sub inputs. I'm happy with the overall factory system & sound stage but would enjoy a little more bass.

Hello,

Sounds like a good plan.. I pick my FX up Tuesday and the first place I am going is to my stereo shop. I think 4 12's in the truck in a custom fiberglass enclosure will do the truck justice. I will keep everyone posted.

4 12's!? ur joking right! thats' crazy man thatll like take the whole trunk HAHAHAH. i got a 12 JL and an amp ima just take from my current car and use with the two 5s. that should be ok i think cuz i still need a little space left.

Be sure to keep a mouth guard in the sunglass holder. :shock:

thanks for the advice.. I love my music... have had a few systems in past cars. The FX seems like a very solid car.. I am sure it will handle a big system just fine.

Any updates on the stereo upgrade 4tyson? I'm itching to put my amps to use and buy a nice 10 or 12" to put in the spare well.
