Polk DB 4+. Marine grade so worry free top off.
Dash speakers and a amp/sub or powered amp will be what most want.
Kicker and rear speakers are gonna be for the more discerning ears.
99% of people will be thrilled with new dash speakers and a sub.
The PCM controls the drive modes... Which you have to change to get the modes not available to you. Sport mode has a different ECU map than Normal.
The log files will show you enabled it and if you get a code, it will log the mode you were in at the time.
Good friend is an Authorized Tech. Here's a GSB
