Years ago one of my gf wanted a system for her new car so I somehow voluntered to do the install without knowing a thing about it (other than having done electronics forever). Turns out it was pretty easy and I started doing the odd one on the side until I was doing quite a few custom installs, fiberglass, etc. One of my philosophies of life is "if that idiot can do it I'm sure I can figure it out too". Works most of the time for me (although I haven't tried any open heart surgerys yet....)

That said I haven't been playing with much of that for the last 8 years or so and I'm thinking about getting some replacement stuff. I use to use a lot of MB Quart and JL Audio stuff - more interested in SQ than the SPL. What's a good price/performer (facts/emotional/fictional whatever now adays?
While I agree, replacing parts on this car doesn't seem to be as simple as throwing in some wires and a new head unit. Since the nav/mp3 player/etc is all part of one unit, what can be replaced without removing other pieces? Also getting new pieces for the dash. Right now I'm trying to figure out what all pieces are connected so I can start looking at replacement parts.

I'm also interested in SQ, but I want it to be loud enough for me to enjoy it. I'm sure you could throw in an amp and replace the current sub, but the lack of ability to control it seperately from bass in the speakers would make it sound like a big rolling bucket of ***, and that my friends doesn't sound good.
