Question Looking to upgrade system but keep factory hu

Hey CL's ...I have an 06 GS 300 and want to add aftermarket amp and components and maybe a sub later down the road . How should I come about this ? I was leaning towards Focal PolyKevlar 165K2P 6.5 Components ,JL HD 600/4 Amp . Should I get 3sixty 3 or MS8's ? What else do I need ? Speaker wire amp gauge etc etc...

Welcome to CL but this is the wrong forum Need to go to the 3GS section. But first, do some searching cause I'm sure you're not the first wanting to have done this

3 sixty and ms8 are great options.
there are cheaper options though. but ms8 is probably the best. ive heard about problems with ms8 if you have nav though. so you might want to look into that first. according to the thread about ms8 in a lexus with nav, it was a complete nightmare and ended up being way too much trouble to get it to work properly so they ended up pulling the ms8 and going with something else.

personally i have an mtx req5. a lot cheaper option. not as fancy with as many tunning options as a 3 sixty and ms8 but definitely gets the job done with good results. also pretty easy to isntall.
