t.i.p.

Before I get started, I did use the search function for quite a while and still could not find a direct answer that I was looking for, so I apologize if this is a repeat topic.


I have a 2010 4 door platinum with the factory nav and sony system. My plan is to replace the front speakers and tweeters with a component system, replace the back door speakers, and get rid of that awful sony sub and amp combo and put something like the MTX loaded box made to fit under the back seat or a small kicker loaded box laid flat on its back or something of that sort.


I want to keep all of the factory SYNC features, so my question is, what all is it going to take for me to be able to do this in a way to where everything that has to do with the head unit and steering wheel controls will be the same as before the install?


Here are the crutchfield links to some of the items I was talking about for reference

Sorry for the huge mess of links and thanks for bearing with my lack of knowledge in the audio world

Everything will work just like it is unless you change the HU

t.i.p.

So all I need for all of this to be compatible with the factory unit is the audio control lc2i?

I'm in the same boat as you except I believe my amp is under the console and yours is by the sub.

From what I've read all we need is the LC2. Hoping for some clarification/confirmation as well.

If you want to add in the roll offed bass and you use a powered sub or an amp and sub, yes

platinumb

If you are only going to use an aftermarket amp for the sub the lc2 will work if you are going to use amps on everything which I think you are then you will need at least an lc7i or Rockford 360, or clean sweep (although this isn't a bad piece it is not near as nice as the 360 and not much cheaper) you need one of these because you'll need the ability to take the outputs from the Sony amp for every channel and turn them into 6 channels of output for your aftermarket equipment.

Are there factory crossovers for the front doors (6x8's and tweeters) or do the tweeters just have caps? Reason I'm asking is that I'm wanting to know if on a 2013 with the Sony amp, are there two different leads for the fronts...one for the tweeter and one for the 6x8 that run all the way back to the factory amp? I'm wanting to prevent having to run new leads for the tweeters and for the 6x8's if I mount my crossovers for my Quart components in the rear.

The Sonys are crossed over at the amp therefore there are 2 wires. The XLTs use a cap
