I've been using a cassette adapter to play my music from my iPhone through the truck's speakers. Now the cassette player has died, so I'm looking at upgrading the head unit to something with either Bluetooth streaming or at least USB input. The truck had the Infinity system from the factory. Would it be best to upgrade the speakers at the same time the head unit is replaced? Or will the stock speakers perform OK with a new head unit?

If its best to upgrade speakers as well, any recommendations on a direction to go? I'm not after concert hall quality since its not exactly a quiet environment in the cab, but I'd rather not waste money going cheap.

 

I'd do head unit and speakers. I like Alpine.

 

My preffered head unit's the Kenwood KIV-701. You can play all the music your heart desires, hook it up to iPod, or even sat radio. If you have movies on your iPod you can watch them on it too. It's a pretty slick setup I've got one in my pickup and one in my dump truck. They're nice.

 

The stock speakers in the front doors are 2 ohm impedance. It might cause problems with most aftermarket equipment which is usually 4 ohm.

 

Thanks guys!

I'm leaning towards just upgrading speakers and the same time as the head unit. I've read too much bad stuff about trying to make the Infinity stuff work with the stock head unit.
