Bigaudiofanat, any problems with the Clarion unit suggested above? Given the choice, you'd go with the Kenwood DPX 308 for sound and clarity? Would be nice to have Bluetooth, but not the end of the world....Thanks for the recommendation of Polks too....

I just installed the PolkMM6501s and love them. Sears has them for $190 total with free shipping. At crutchfield they are $230 normally $350. A step up from the DBs....love em

PS check out my ipod DIY if you have time and want a different idea on a possible mounting location. Also did you ever figure out how to rerivet the door back together or are you just rebolting it to the door? I like the idea of having the dynamat on the exterior door but worried about putting everything back together.

I also installed a kenwood DNX6160 HU and it works great. I would like a little better ipod interface though. It's simple enough but going through selections while driving is a little difficult and i wish it was more of a swipe type scroll rather than just arrow and hold and scroll
