Looking into getting a head unit....
that will fit in the dash of my C5 WITHOUT cutting!!! like to have DVD and Nav. Single Cd would be fine.Don't really use the stock changer as it is.Also looking at Focal speakers 165W or 165K3 what would be better.Not to sure on an amp(s).Was thinking about the new Kicker 10's(square ones)x2.Any help would be great!!!!

the Kevlar Power speakers have thicker midbass, and the midrange of the Utopia is slightly more clear. Honestly.. there is little difference. Listen to both.

What is THICKER midbass?
There are several indash monitor/radios that will fit without cutting. I always preach the Pioneer...it is pretty sweet. And the navigation is voice operated and talks back so the monitor does not have to be open for it to work.

As far as speakers go, everyone has a different hearing appeal & for some people, the most expensive speakers don't sound the best to them. I suggest going to an auto audio dealer (not the local best buy) & listening to several brand models for what sounds good to you.
I am not going to get into another debate about head units either. Just know that your opening is 1.5 din & there are units out there that fit with harnesses that hook up to your standard wiring without cutting any wires.

vette-freak is right on the money except he left something out. There is not a soundroom anywhere that is going to sound like your car. So just keep that in mind when you are auditioning speakers. Bring your own music.

Since you wanted DVD and Navigation (and you will want XM too), I'd go with the Pioneer AVH-P6500DVD, I prefer it to the Alpine IDA-D900.
