The line converter I have has no real user "integration" with an iPod or any BT functionality (I get that from the head unit/Sync). It simply converts the speaker signal to a RCA signal...

I am using the stock head unit in my '03 running it into an Alpine MRV-F450. It powers everything, including a JL Audio Stealthbox.
I have this little doo-dad for my ipod interface. http://www.crutchfield.com/p_581PA11...rd.html?tp=120
Doesn't exactly wake the neighborhood, but I can get a little thump going if the right tune comes along.

Yeah I'm glad this topic came up. I'll be in the market for some upgrades soon. The stock system sounds great, I just want to "feel" it more. Should I start with replacement speakers before anything else? I dont know much about the stereo stuff, hell, or much else for that matter. haha

Changing the speakers was a piece of cake... simple tools (7/16ths 1/4 inch drive socket, 8mm 1/4 inch drive socket) and and if you have a crew cab it helps to have a T-50 torx to remove the rear shoulder belt bolt. About 10 minutes or so to change each speaker. Good luck. Also, take a look at your speaker connector before or while you are buying your speakers and make sure you are getting the right harness...there are apparently two different styles used by Ford (according to Best Buy...don't ask me why I know this) and getting the correct one will save you an extra trip. Good luck!

Replacing door speakers will be an improvement for the mids/highs but you won't feel it more, you'll need a sub for that.

I like it a lot. I've had it for prolly 5 yrs now.
True, they are a little spendy, but it works for me. I didn't go full blown on my upgrade so it was a good fit with the amp/stock head unit. The 200W from the amp drives, I think, a 6in woofer. It doesn't really take up any space. You could theoretically sit on it if you need room to buckle 6 people in, but no cushion. Like sitting on a board. I wouldn't want to ride on it for 2 hrs.
