2011 Sport w/Navi speaker upgrade
I have a 2011 Sport with Navi and I want to upgrade the factory speakers, but I do not want to replace the Navi head unit I just paid for. Am I wasting my money on new speakers if I don't upgrade/replace the HU too?
I know the DVD-based GPS is dated, but I like the look, etc. Too bad it doesn't have Bluetooth. I mistook the voice command as Bluetooth. My bad.
Thanks in advance for the feedback.

Upgrading the speakers is something I feel everyone should do especially in the fit, they are very low quality speakers and do not sound that great. You can get a nice component set from anywhere around $100 and up. As far as the Navi unit goes, you can using adapters amplify the components and add a subwoofer if you wish so you do NOT have to get rid of the Navi.

say for just components in the front doors and a self contained subwoofer?

thanks Fit4Spl
Thanks for the feedback. Now one more thing. I heard, the way the factory head unit is tuned, my music will sound bad no matter the speakers. True?
That got me to thinking. I left the factory head unit in my 4Runner (figured factory look would not attract thieves) when I upgraded the speakers to Diamond Audio with an Alpine amp. Well, I actually think the sound is better in my new Fit (which I'm paying for with the gas savings from the 4Runner, btw). Do you think the 2011 speakers might be a little better this year?
As always, thanks in advance.

Taking out the nav unit
I just got the 11 fit and im putting a sound system in but i cant figure out how to get the nav unit out and any of the paneling off around the unit i see that it is all pop style on it but is there any screws i have to unbolt bc i get some of it off and then it wont budge and i dont want to brake it. So if i can get some help on that, it would be greatly appreciated.

Be careful- not a lot of depth behind the speakers with the windows down- probably around 2.5" to the bare metal and 3"+ if you convert the stock speakers to mounting rings. You can gain a few fractions if you fabricate your own speaker mounts because there is a little room between the speaker faces and the door grilles. Just an FYI...
