Well, here's the strange thing. I recently "upgraded" my OEM radio/CD unit with a 2 DIN DVD/GPS HU (Motevo) and though I am delighted to have gained sat-nav, bluetooth streaming/phone & a host of others, I was very disappointed that the sound coming out from the stock speakers in my car (4 door speakers) sounded worse than the OEM unit.
Now, I know I have 2 choices or 3 (LOL), first is to of coz get an amp & 2nd is to change the speakers. I don't want to go the amp route yet so I thought a speaker upgrade would suffice for the moment. Or 3rd, I could ditch the new HU & re-install the OEM unit (LOL). The new HU is quoted at 4X50w and I am completely bonkers with all these numbers so it make no sense to me.
All I want is a clearer and slightly punchier sound so my question to all you sifus out there is, will a speaker upgrade be sufficient to give me that? And why is it that changing to this new HU gives me lousier sound quality?
Thanks in advance for any feedback.
The 4x50 is most probably Max value....Now, I know I have 2 choices or 3 (LOL), first is to of coz get an amp & 2nd is to change the speakers.

It is quite obvious as well in this instance, it is the HU problem... But to change it back to stock, it would be a waste of the function and the reason why you want to buy this HU at the first place.
But of course, the choice is yours. Change it back to stock will get what you want.
To improve with the current new HU, then you will need to spend a bit more to improve it. Get it right this time with the proper amp and speakers.
