Yessir! an amp and sub will be the next step. I haven't decided on the head though. I'd like to get a double DIN nav system but that depends on if I can save enough moolah, there are so many things I want to get. I'm gonna use the factory head unit for now. I have a pair of JL 10W1s from my old car and a pair of 8W1s from my old truck. I'll see which ones will work best for the space available. I also haven't decided on the amp, I prefer discrete channels for the speakers so it will probably be a milti channel amp like a 5 or 6 channel.

It sounds OK, nothing to brag about. It is much better than the stock system though. The internal amp on the factory head doesn't have much power, it peters out pretty quickly.

Polk db690 in front and Polk db650 in the back. Crutchfield was closing them out so both pairs were under $150. Don't know if they have anymore, I just got their new catalog and it shows the db691 and db651 which are the newer model.

Thanks for the compliments!
