Looking for new sound system. I-phone. I-pod. Needs speaker system. Want clean sound and clean interior. Any suggestions? Car interior is stripped so I can start anywhere.

Your options are only limited by your budget.

And the tops fit underneath. There is also an amp in the box for the sub.

Is the best place to put speakers straight on the back? The ones we tore out were angled ? I was hoping with modern technology speakers would be smaller and the sound bigger. Sounds like I will have to listen to a Kenwood. Thanks. Been years since i went car stereo shopping.
