Upgrading Stereo

[JParsonss]

I wanted to do some personal touches to my Grand Wagoneer III. So far I have had the Expel PPF put on the front and having ceramic coating put on the entire outside, including wheels, as well as inside and windows. I've also decided to upgrade the stereo system to give me a better sound. I was surprised when they looked at the stock McIntosh system they shared with me that the speakers in the front dash are the same speakers they put in almost all Chrysler products, i.e. not that great. They also shared part of the system was the Harmon Kardon, with only the processor really being McIntosh. I posted below the stereo upgrade that I'm doing, any comments would be appreciated as it's not going to be started until a week or two, need to get parts. I'm also looking as adding some Vossen gloss black wheels- I think they would look good on my all white Grand Wagoneer, but again would love some suggestions. I put a picture of the wheels I'm thinking about below. Thanks

Excited to see what you think about the new stereo! What is your total cost to upgrade including labor?

Update on the custom stereo....... I got it back last week and it sounds amazing. The McIntosh was nice but the new AMP, DSP and speakers really take it to the next level. Below are some pictures of the finished system. I wanted most of it hidden but some of it exposed so you could see the customization.

Amazing! What did you end up paying for that to be done?

Boy I am shocked at this one. They sell it as a major upgrade. I had an upgraded system in my 2-019 Grand Cherokee Summit and it was pretty good. I'm gonna have my guy review and I'll post results.

My wife has been complaining g about the sound quality so .... happy wife happy life!
