You can cut your bezel or order a new one and cut that one, if you want to keep the original. Once you open the bezel to a din size chassis. You add just about any radio you wish. Then you decide on speakers, amps, and subwoofer.

Here is a simple paper I put together for C3 stereo work. Also, a few pics of a stereo I did for Curt and his Vette here locally. Now it sounds like a Nickelback concert. His system did cost around $600 or so but he chose some expensive components. I can suggest a few key pieces that are both high quality and low cost and keep your total investment under or around $500.

That can work, but the setup leaves a few flaws that will hurt sound quality. You would need to seal the compartment, layer the compartment with a lot of sound deadening material to keep the flexing and vibrations down, and you would need a sounding board mounted over the sub to get the best results.
