Audison recently announced a new OEM integration product line.

I am a stereo nut. and my previous car a very modified 2007 scion tc had over 9k in sound quality stereo. But with the new SRX i did not want to modify it to that point. At the end of the day it is still an suv that i will need to use as such. So after having my stereo place open my srx up i got an estimate of $7500.00 for a stealth Audison/Hertz system. The price was a little daunting at first but even though the Bose 10 speaker system isnt bad , it is not as good as what i am used to, so i started saving.
Then Audison releases this series and i make a few calls and do some research and i think this is what i am looking for. With the old quoted system everything had to be custom mounted. Lots of cutting and drilling and panel modification. Now would that system have been better than the Prima system.... YES.... but at several times the cost and lots of unreversable modification and diminished utility.
The Audison Prima line is direct OEM replacement using super high quality Audison parts. The 6, 6.5 inch speakers will be replaced, the 2 tweeters and the 1 3 or 4" in the dash ( that may require a little modification). Along with the 8 channel amp/DSP and an add on amp for the subs. The one modification i will be doing is mounting 2, 8" Prima subs in the tailgate powered by the add on amp.
All this andit will be invisible and not interfere in anyway with the CUE system, which except for a few issues i have grown to love. Seems that the base system will be about $2,000.00. I am guessing the one i am looking at will be more like $3500.00 without customization but still half the price. I really like the cargo management system in the SRX AND the storage compartment so i do not want to mount a sub in the floor so this seems like a god sent. We will see how it turns out when my stereo guys get back from CES and let me know what we are looking at. Will post pics of the project.
