Stereo is done : )
I recently finished my stereo upgrade.
I went with an Alpine CDA 9827, 625i Infinity Kappas in the rear, and 605cs Infinity Kappas in the front. I purchased all these items from Sonic Electronic for $522.97.
I also added a Rockford Fosgate amp ($50) and a 12" JL audio sub. ($50)
The install was very easy with the help of this web site.
I would like to thank Vate for his instructions on how to make a subwoofer enclosure using 3/4" MDF. Directions were perfect and easy to understand. The only thing I did different was that I installed a two inch lip on the top rear of the box to use the stock cover.
I would also like to thank Michael Stanzel for the face plate and the front speakers mounting bracket. ($125)
My system sounds great. It's crystal clear and cranks.
I highly recommend this set up and it didn't cost that much.
Exceeded my expectations.

I hope this works, please advise.
Hopefully it worked. The stereo does not stick out at all.
Picture with cover on. It hasn't moved, but I will probably put one black screw in the back.

Are you talking about the black piece around the HU? That's made by Mike (VrumVrum) here on the forum. It's a pretty pimp package in my opinion. He can do some other things such as painting it a glossy black or whatever color you need.
He also makes custom cut speaker mounts for your upcoming project
