Opinions on new sound setup?

Hey guys. Got a 2014 Jeep Patriot and NEED a sound system upgrade. Looking at the following. Just wanted to make sure it will all fit and work compatibly with my factory specs so all I need is someone to help with install but no major fabricating will be needed. Btw, on a tight budget so it's kinda cheap.

That should all fit without a problem. Double check the mounting depth of your 6x9's but it shouldn't be an issue.

I have become a fan of the built in amp & sub box as it is less to deal with when installing and takes up less room compared to separate components. And over my time of car stereo i have learned that less is more. ill take sound quality with trunk space over "feel the bass flex" any day. If you were to tell me that when i was younger and I'd tell you that you were too old.

Thank you! Also, will the head unit need some sort of "holder" or something to make it fit correctly in the dash? Looks like it won't be the same size as the stock OEM head unit.

Typically yes, youll need to buy a compatible install kit which will fill in the gaps around the hole.
It looks like this is the one you need Dodge Nitro Double DIN Dash Kit | Jeep Wrangler Double Din Dash Kit | Dash Kits | 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 | CR1291B | by Scosche
