Experts please...........
Or close to experts anyway 
For now, I plan on adding a good subwoofer and Amp to my stock sys(12 CD changer).
Any recomendations for brand?, where I can mount them? and other things I need to look out for.
What sound improvement should I expect?
Thx in advance,
Mike

well, you will get more bass! That will add to the depth and richness of the sound.
I would look at the stealthbox. It fits into the hole in the back.
As for subs, JL Audio, IDQ, Boston... Amps, I like JL Audio.
There are other brands, and I am sure the rest of the gang will chime in.

I really think you should do the HU and front speakers at the same time, I hate to see people waste money on interfaces.

It's also why bose heads - and amps - require interface modules to work with aftermarket components.
these systems are so proprietary that it just makes no sense to spend money upgrading them.
I am not a fan of making these systems better, there is no point. The head units are poor signal sources, and they are not very durable.
I much prefer the idea of gutting the system and going full aftermarket.
If I was doing an install on a C5, I would build up with a nice set of 3 way components, a 6" mid-bass, 4" mid range and a 1" tweeter. Boston, Focal and CDT, among others, make some very nice 3-ways. Then install a real nice sub, something like a JL 12W6 or equal.
A nice 2 channel amp, something in the area of 150 watts per, for the front stage, and a killer 1000 watt mono for the sub. Xtant, Precision Power, JL Audio, Butler or Arc are good choices.

Thanks Bogus
