I'm just starting to look at the Rebel and have not test driven one yet. I'm still riding around in my old 04 Hemi Quad Cab where I have replaced the head unit with a double din touch screen feeding the factory Infinity amp and speakers and then added a 10" sub box under the rear seat. I am a big SAT radio user but I just Bluetooth my SAT radio app on my iPhone through the head unit for now. What I'm not a huge fan of is built in navigation systems - mostly because of the costly map updates and the lack of ability to control them when the vehicle is not in Park. But if I have to purchase the Nav option to get the better audio system, I will do it. I did similar on the Honda Accord V6 I bought for my wife.
I'm looking for input on what the Rebels come with standard as far as an audio system and what upgrades/options are available and whether or not they are worth it. It seems like I saw an option for an Alpine speaker setup with a subwoofer. How does it sound? I don't care for ear-bleeding loudness but more for sound quality. Back when head units and dash bezels were less complicated, the easy answer was to just by the standard system and replace it with your system of choice. I suppose that is still an option but perhaps a bit more pricey. And with factory systems often sounding a lot better than the older days, maybe aftermarket is not necessary. Thoughts anyone?
