My Next Upgrade

Been wanting to upgrade stereo for a while. Got a vehicle paid off so here we go. 04 FX4 Scab. Didn't need GPS, got that on my phone, just wanted Bluetooth for phone and music on my phone. Gonna upgrade the 4 speakers, don't think I am gonna have to get an amp or sub, but I will see when it is all done. Gonna try and keep this thread going till I'm done. All of the stuff I'm getting should fit all oem places. I will post pics when I can. I will be losing the P.I.E adapter that I have been using for like 4 years, but this is much better upgrade. Here are the goodies.

Clarion CX501 CD receiver at Crutchfield.com

2 sets of these
Infinity Kappa 682.9cf 5"x7"/6"x8" 2-way car speakers at Crutchfield Signature

I bought the previous model yr of the Clarion and it gets poor radio reception. Lots of static at times. It also isn't enough to power my Infinitys. I always have it turned up all the way. Those Infinitys are great but will be begging for an amp. My son is running Infinitys in his F250 with a 40Wx4 Kenwood amp it it sounds great.

just got it all put in, it sounds alot better than what I had. Radio reception seems fine, no static on stations, even picks up stations I never was able to before. I am waiting on the amp for now, but may be one later on. I will put pics up when I get a chance.
