Help me pick a stereo

That head unit is perfect for what you are trying to run, as long as you like it. It has all the good stuff from Bluetooth to the equalizer settings to a small footprint.

You know your climate best so if you go marine grade those Polks are fine.

Instead of that mono amplifier, this 5 channel amplifier is the same price and will power the rest of your system.

Soundstream PN5.640D Picasso

Probably cheaper on Amazon/Walmart.

Thank you!!!
 
For those on the fence about a double din, OnX Offroad is now CarPlay enabled (if you're an Apple guy, dunno about Android) so if you like to mark trails & all that on the OnX app, having it on the big screen would be super nice. I had been thinking about a new single din stereo, but having that app has pushed me 100% into the double din + CarPlay world.

Behind the steering wheel, in the dash. I have my amplifier there, and @sourbluff installed this same amplifier. Here are pics from his install. There is an easy place to ground the amp, and close by is a hole in the firewall to run the power wire through, on the way to the battery.

Is there a technical reason to use the cutting board material for the amp mount, or is that just a convenient way to mount it?

Asking for a friend…

I was wondethat myself. I'm guessing it's a more solid surface and keeps the amp in a free floating state to allow for airflow for cooling.

Cheap, easy to form for an installer's location, and sturdy. Plywood is also a good choice, even mdf board is okay to use for the same reasons as that plastic cutting board material.

My Jeep gets rained in frequently in the summer. None of my stereo is marine grade. No issues. The speakers there is very little difference or structure but a non marine speaker will likely have better sound performance … no quality speaker is paper these days.

Recommend me some good 4x6 dash speakers then if you don't mind.

Lots of high quality speakers/woofers have paper cones. To give one brand as an example, Gladen.

I know they are a little on the pricey side, but I plan on going with this one when I change heads out. Mostly for the cameras, CarPlay, and the OBDII read.

Responding just to get in the loop. Not seeing camera interface on the IA. A deal breaker for me.

Not to hijack but I'm in the market also. Much less interested in top end audio than the other features - camera, maps. I have woofers and decent pod speakers so pretty much looking for a decent display. Marine would be a plus.
