Hi, I did see another thread on this, but wondering if anybody recently has upgraded the clarion stereo with a double-din unit with XM Radio. We are big XM radio fans and want to add that to the camper. I know some units have ability to add xm-radio. I also wonder how difficult it will be to cut a double-din size hole in existing single DIN.
So, any recommendations on the radio to get? Was thinking Kenwood, Alpine or Pioneer. And any best practices or gotchas on cutting making the opening fit a double din.. (2016 AS FC 19ft)
While you are at it- for sure upgrade your speakers... and the sub too... here is a thread on subwoofer replacement / install... even a cheap $130 powered 10” sub makes a massive difference compared to the $25 unit installed at the factory.
yeah, I figured the stock speakers and sub were probably cheap.. A bit surprising for what you pay for the Airstream, but maybe they put money into more critical areas..ie. construction, appliances, et.
I assume replacing the sub is straightforward.. Do you need to run any new wires or can you just swap out the sub and use existing wires, plugs..

I just swapped out the box. Same wires. Depends on the sub you buy - I matched mine to the power available.
