So I really like the look of my factory radio.in my 2005 zx-4 se. But i want something that give better sound. Should I add an amp and replace the speakers. Or go with a new deck and upgrade the speakers? I dont want to loose my ipod, xm radio or steering wheel controls.

if you want to keep the factory deck, and gain sound quality, then the only option is a signal processor, like the cleansweep, or the rockford three sisty

personally id stick with the fosgate, best signal processor ever made imo

then you can add a 4-channel amp, and new speakers

what i would do, is replace the speakers first, if you like the way it sounds, then your good, if not, then add the signal processor, and a 4-channel amp

yeah what matt said is correct....you "could" hook a 4 channel amp up to a factory radio using a 4 ch line output converter but thats like buying a Ferrari but running the crappiest gas you can find....it works but you are not getting the true potential out of it

all i want to do is go boom boom in my vroom vroom.

im not looking for to much boom boom in my vroom vroom! Just want something that sounds good.

if your looking for just a better sound, stick with the factory radio and add a line out converter, new speakers and an amp to power them and possibly a 8" sub like the one in svts. it will be great sounding inside and your trunk wont rattle and we wont hear you down the block. i've ran a setup like this for almost a year and i love it, inside it sounds amazing and outside you wont hear anything unless the windows are down and i turn it up some

I would go with a new head unit. And if you want even better then go with an amp. But I would say a new stereo would be fine.
