Polk DB6501 Question

Juleous

I think the point that was being made was replacing the stock HU vs stock speakers which will improve sound quality more, also that putting more power to stock speaker doesn't work so well compared to putting lower clean power to higher quality speakers.

The choice should be odvious for someone with a little knowledge.

Actually the post originated from a gentleman who currently has a Nismo and is looking to replace the speakers and then eventually replace the headunit. Others chimed in saying that they would replace the headunit first. I stated that the recommendation for replacing the speakers first is so of a business tactic because its easier to sell a customer on a $100-200 set of speakers and then later upselling them on a new headunit instead of trying to initially sell them on a $1000-1500 headunit. A little business common sense would be obvious to anyone with a little knowledge. I certainly would expect a "professional" installer to know such practices!

If you read the link i put up, you would find a good sales/installer wouldn't sell him a HU, he would do like the OP wants to do and swap out the speakers, then add an amp and sub...leaving that $1500 HU on the shelf for some one with a tape deck.

And you would read the original post you would notice that the OP has a Nismo with has the base head unit which is a total piece of junk garbage, not some top level OEM digital media player. If the OP was driving a Touring with Nav I would be more inclined to agree with you!

If you read the link they don't use a high end OEM unit, and it's from a few years ago. a Ford and GM unit/Delco not even a Bose...
