Assuming you were to look around for pre-owned equipment and do the installation yourself, you can get about double the value of what you can buy retail.
I would suggest:
1) Head unit: INA-W900
2) 4-channel amp (mount on rear wall)
3) Center bin sub in the 250-300w range
4) 2-way component front channel speakers (high-mounted tweeters)
5) Big-3 charging system upgrade.
6) (optional, but suggested) Big pack of second-skin "damplifier pro" vibration deadening material.

I am doing 2 12's one in each corner right now making custom box and false floor to hide the targa. Removing the supports for the targa allows me plenty of room to glass a corner box for the 12 to fit nicely
going to be a little crazy this summer for my new audio install
These are Space 12 subs from Vibe.
Vibe SPace 3 way components in doors
Vibe 3way QB69 for rear
Vibe Blackdeath 4 x 175 amp for fronts
Vibe SPace Bass x 2 for the subs.
Just need to get it all done in between working on stuff for everyone elses car

I have the stealth box, and a Kenwood double DIN stereo. check my signature for my mods. Mine turned out great. Mount seperate tweeters in the door handles, hides them and its a great location
Hello.
I am looking for a car stereo, speakers, amp, woofer to upgrade my car stereo system from bose speakers.
Do you have any recommendations for aftermarket car stereo, speakers, amp, and woofers?
I am thinking to install a JL audio stealthbox.
I appreciate any comments.
Thanks.

I was thinking of putting a sub in the rear center cubby. Can I get something to fit under the cover? Like to keep it hidden and not have to worry about wrecking the sub when using the trunk.
I'm running a single din Kenwood MP3 with stock Bose speakers.

Yes,
Really like the stealth box product. Clean install so you don't have to rip up your interior. If you haven't heard the focal separates find them, they are amazing and have a range from entry to very high end. I would recommend not going for full range speakers, but opt for the separates.
Sorry for the delay I was traveling to Ohio for work this week, couldn't have picked a worse time!
Let me know how it turns out.

1. Are the tweeters better off in the doors, or in the pillars? I also have a tan interior, does anybody have any idea about how I can paint the tweeters?
2. Do you think those 5-channel Amplifiers will fit behind the front seats? I'm tall and have the seat all the way back, so maybe this isn't a good idea?
3. Does anybody have any idea as to the approximate volume of the center cubby?
Thanks!

2. Depends on how large they are....
3. Slightly less than 1 Cu ft. For a flush mount design, it's best to leave it a sealed enclosure and use fiberfill inside the box to simulate a larger enclosure.
