I wanted to keep the stock HU for a few reasons:
1. I think aftermarkets look not so good in newer cars
2. I will have to keep the radio somewhere, or a relay, because of the chimes and anti-theft
3. Avoid extra costs
Sticking with the stock HU, I could use 2 amps, and spend around $400 -$450 (if I install myself)
Aftermarket HU with one amp, would end up costing closer too $550
Ideally I wanted to stay as close to 3-350 as possible, but I really don't think that is do-able.
