Looking to upgrade my SLS Stereo system..
I don't want to replace the head unit, i'm just looking to replace the speakers and possibly install an AMP.

Has anyone here upgraded their system? If so please share details.

Thanks
Jeff

Jeff SD,
Maybe I missed the thread but did you ever post any pics of your SLS? What upgrades or additions have you completed so far?

I heard Jeff's Capristo exhaust today. Fcking insane!!!! All I could do was laugh at how insanely awesome it sounded.

We left, I went to get some gas and heard Jeff take off from the light. It sounded like WWIII had started.
