I'm not saying it can't be done... but if it were my money (and ears), I'd just go full aftermarket and avoid the headache. Can still use factory wiring with the aftermarket drivers, so no need to run all new cabling.

I'll be crossing this bridge as well in the next year with my nav/DSP truck if I can't decide to pull the trigger on NBT retrofit.

After looking at the NBT why would you want anything else? Thanks for that btw...
