Any good???

Hi I'm thinking to upgrade my factory audio system with following stuffs, before that I would like to get some suggestion from you guys because my knowledge in car audio system is very limited.

Speaker- Polk DB6501 in the front door by replacing the existing one.
Amp - Option audio SMC160 four channel
Sub - Polk Audio DB124
+sub box and wiring kit

It will cost about 1000 bucks including installation from 'wow'
Please suggest if there is any better option with in this budget.
Is it possible to put a head unit in the dash without removing the existing setup???
Is there any other shop who can give a better deal for these stuffs???

Thanks

I assume your install includes a high-to-low-level converter to connect your amp to the factory head unit?

It is possible to have 2 head units in your car, but it seems a little pointless. Either you're happy with the factory unit or you're not...if you want more functionality, you might as well replace it rather than trying to double up. You will lose the read-out in the dash and the auto volume adjustment, and you will need an adapter to keep the steering wheel controls, but you will get all the other stuff you want.

It's fairly common practice to double up head units in BA/BF Falcons (their head units are integrated into the dash so removal is difficult) so a little searching along that line might give you more info if that's what you want to do. Perhaps you can feed the factory head unit's outputs into the new head unit's Aux-in port - but I can't see why you'd bother.

Hey mate
Yes, it includes high to low level converter. The reason for asking about adding the head unit to the existing setup is because I like the way it looks now and if I put just an ordinary head unit, it looks a bit odd you know. And recently I saw a falcon with a head unit attached to it without disturbing the factory unit.
So better I will get satisfied with the factory head unit. Hope the above stuff will do a good job for me. Please give any suggestions if there is any. Thanks

Cheers
