Yes, a set of polk db component speakers "tweeter and woofer separate" and a head unit would make it sound a hindered times better.

I have already replaced the hu and now the speakers are the next project. I am not going to install and amp or sub. Are crossovers needed when just replacing the base speakers and tweeters? I want to too keep everything as simple as possible yet have something that sounds decent. I have been following a lot of the audio post but almost everything I am seeing includes amps and subs.

Next up 2009 370Z

Goodies
Pioneer App2 radio
JL250/1 AMP



Sub bass knob was installed looking like factory


New head unit installed


New amp


Quote from the customer.

"Well after my major score at BestBuy, I contacted Bigaudio and he just happens to be in my area this weekend so I decided to take him up on his offer and have him over to install my new head unit and sub amp. Super excited to have him do it, nice to have someone familiar with the car and cares. Pictures will be up on Sunday night.
So where do I start. Let’s start with Matt the person, what a gentleman! Showed up at my house and right away I felt like we had known each other for years. So we sat down for some breakfast and the conversation flowed right away. Sitting with a fellow audiophile that is 28 years my junior and yet likes the same music, well that was a welcome surprise.
Now on to the install, the guy knows this car like the back of his hand. The car was dismantled with CARE in just minutes. All of the wiring was soldered and heat shrink covered and all the runs neatly replaced. Of course as faith would have it, just as he’s getting ready for the final touches, one channel's not working. So out comes everything and the hunt begins. Well like I said, he knows his stuff and after a little trouble shooting, he traced the problem back to the previous installer’s work, short in the "lamp cord" they used to feed the crossovers from the amp. He was kind enough to replace the wires for me with something a little more suitable. Once that was done everything went back in without a hitch.
I really can't say enough about this guy, we laughed all day long, even though it was 80 and the sun was on us all day, we still had a blast! I'm having him back in a few weeks to trouble shoot the system in my FX35.
So if you’re in the market for an installer, don't hesitate to give him a call, the price is right, the work is GREAT and the conversation is fun, you won't be sorry. Oh one other thing, he's done like 40 370's, I don't know many installers that can say that.
Thanks again Matt!"

Matt...weird request. Can you help me with a 2012 Jaguar XF? I want to install a small sub in the back. A 6" sub would more than suffice or a pre-powered sub such as this (similar to the 370Z's sub):

Blaupunkt 6902A GT Power Series dual 6"x9" powered subwoofer at Crutchfield.com

I found this thread on the Jag forum where someone installed a pair of subs and posted the details:
Anybody have any wiring diagrams or location for amplifier for the audio system.... - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum


The car's standard audio has terrific highs, and good mids. But bass is poor and I'd like to alleviate that with something very simple. Would a sub that small require its own amp? I sort of doubt it does, but I don't know crap.

2 questions for you Matt:

1) How hard is it to install a bluetooth mic in the stock factory location?
2) I have the Homelink mirror with the backup camera. If I get a new HU, can I wire the backup camera to display on it, instead of the mirror?

Installing a aftermarket mic in the factory location is not that hard, just take your time as working in a small space above your head is stressful.

You can tap into the factory video signals and run a cable to our new head unit. I think someone posted the wiring diagram for the harness of the mirror. I just can not remember where.
