I just put an Alpine head unit in last weekend. Sounds alot better. I think I'll put in new speakers in later this year.

What you need is a Car Sound Systems Professional. Swing by your local shop with a good $1,000 in your back pocket and ask him to surprise you on that budget. Normally you end up with a near perfect sound at that price.

I had $200 budget on sound only so I just changed to a 40Wx4 unit. Perfect for garage/wrenching music only tho

I've got an Kenwood amp and MB Quarts left over from my old BMW. I'll be looking into adding them in the future.

Do a search on here for Rear Speakers.. I forget who (sorry) but they posted a great template for your rear storage bin to add rear speakers.. Pics below are what I came up with.. I also have the oem cd player from my 99 if your interested, pm me and let me know..

add new dash speakers. I highly recommend the infinity kappas 42.9i.
The OEM dash speakers are a joke - cardboard from Nokia.
Belong in the clock radio at motel 6.

I just got done installing the rear speaker kit (think it has 3.5" speakers). Does anyone else that has this kit have any trouble eq'ing stuff? It seems like no matter how much I turn down the bass, the rear speakers try to "handle" the bass and sound muddy. They don't seem as loud as the fronts either so it's hard to even tell they're there.

Is the fact that my Fade function doesn't actually do Front to Rear, it only turns the Fronts output down, but doesn't do anything to the rears.

confused...
