Default best option for audio system

hello everyone just purchased a sc430 2002 triple black and i love it. only thing is the sound system doesn't sound the way it should. what have you guys done? foam repair kit? upgraded speakers? lemme know what y'all recommend. i would like to just do foam repair but is it worth it or should i just install new door speakers while i have the door panel off. thanks in advance.

I replaced my head unit, but kept the ML amp and GPS integration. My speakers were OEM replaced under warranty. I posted an extensive DIY on my upgrade. If you’re not replacing the amp, you need to be cognizant of the ohms impedance for the speakers.

Bob's DIY is pretty much a "must read" for anyone doing this upgrade. Find it here.

Here is a thread for the mic and backup camera install.

gonna do my second radio, beat sonic, camera and mic install very soon.

i just don’t know what radio I want to use this time. My first was the Pioneer AVH-X5700BHS. It’s a nice radio and allows some apps like Waze on the radio screen. It also plays a movie on the NAV screen while you can control different screens on the radio.
