I kept the CDR220 and installed a Polk Audio 5-ch amp. Polk 2-way speakers in the dash, and four 3" from somebody that actually makes 3" speakers in the rear. Paper cones were all shot front and rear, but the door subs were/are perfect. The Polk sub channel is 2 ohm, so wiring in series with the two 2 ohm doors provides a sound level I didn't think would be available from those 5-1//4" subs. So many good ways to kill that rat.

So true. Maybe would have done something similiar if i had to do over, but would still add the passenger well sub. It doesnt really take away any leg room.

The way i did my install i can put it back to stock in a couple of hours maybe less. I wanted the capability to stream from my phone, but other solutions for that too.
