Need help picking out a single Din Radio

[SilverWolve]

I drive a 2002 Jeep grand Cherokee with the infinity system "has a factory amp installed under the seat"
I want to change out the radio and install an adapter for steering wheel control, I was told Alpine and Kenwood, even sony, pioneer is pretty good, i was thinking alpine but some of their radios get pretty spendy..

The main things im looking for is good Bluetooth with the mic and streaming, and a CD player.
as well as able to play USB music and have good quality sound, not rumbling.

I was also debating on changing the speakers too but im not too sure yet if it would be worth it, i was told that it be best to change the rear speakers to component because of the Infinity sound system and have the fronts a 3 or 4 way or something like that..

I also have tweeters on the dash top, i was debating on changing those too since they have been cutting in and out since i got the jeep. with a aftermarket radio, that could get worse lol

I love music but i want to be able to hear the song and lyrics but i like the feeling of a bass beat too, as long as its not overwhelming the music.

Look at Crutchfield.com ... they are the best when it comes to vehicle radios and navigation systems. They will tell you what does and does not fit, as well as what wiring adapters you may need, how to connect them and how to get the old radio out and the new one in.

Well I know how to do all that, I'm just having a hard time picking a single din radio lol and if I should upgrade all the speakers or just the tweeters and if I do.. to what? Haha

First, Crutchfield also has reviews. As to speakers, it depends on what is already in there. If you have good ones already and they good, then leave them be. Many good speakers and prices for them all.

Crutchfield is great for figuring out what fits, but they have terrible prices. Having an amp under the seat complicates things. You'll either need to figure out how to turn it on or bypass it. If you're using it more than likely you need a HU with preamp outputs. (RCA jacks usually) I'd normally just bypass it. They're generally super lower power and not worth the hassle of trying to wire to use.

I was thinking of throwing in an after market amp for the speakers, I know alpine has a little one for 100.. just was not sure how to really wire it in, if I could just install it in the old location of the factory amp and use that wiring.. that's one thing I never messed with was a factory amp that was going to be upgraded to an aftermarket one or if it is even possible to use the wiring going to and from the factory amp.. however all that don't matter till I figure out what stero I want lol and the speakers don't seem bad but the factory tweeters should be changed to something better
