Hi All,

Got a 03 XR6T with premium sound few weeks ago and like others on this forum .. ive noticed the sub popping on the odd occasion.

I am looking at getting the JBL GTO804 8" sub to replace the stock one.

Now my question is ..

Out of my old car I took out a Soundstream amp and a pair of 6" Polk Audio splits which sound awesome.

Can I basically replace the factory amp without recabling with the Soundstream and replace the door speaks with my 6" splits ? .. the car will be getting its seats and carpet taken out soon .. I want to do as much as I can while this is happening.

Any other suggestions on upgrading the sound options while everything is out ???

Cheers !!!

how about the amp replacement .. how many chanels is the stock one ?

can I put in a 4 ch amp in its place ??

From what I've read.... no. I have 2 amps atm a 4 channel and a monoblock running evrything in my car. I've used a AudioControl LC6i which is basically a very good line level converter that allows ya to hook up pretty much whatever u want... It works very well but very messy in wiring terms... If u looked in my boot you'd think I was a sparky :spoton:
