Default Head unit and speakers

After getting the turbo on the SC400, the next step is a new sound system.

What brand and size speakers are you running and what head unit do you have?
I was thinking about a double din with a video screen, will that work?

I know some people might be iffy about posting your goodies for all the world to see, just PM me then.

I just upgraded my sound with alpine single din cd/iPod deck with a 4" JL audio and an Alpine amp pushing a 12" and a stock subs in the trunk sounds great!

Thats pretty close to what I have. JL is ****zel. IMO.. 6.5 in the front and 6x9's in the rear. A little cutting is neccassary for the rear and a special adaptor can be made out of 1/2 MDF for the front. Its not too hard. Dont buy Ebay one's, people have a little trouble for them not to work.

metra makes a real nice dash kit for double dins the model #95-8157B and for dingle din radios use the 99-8157b i would definitely reccommend changing the front spks to 6.5 and rears to 6x9s the stock 4" spks arent that great especially if your running a sepearte head unit. if you have any questions pm me i just installed a full system yestarday in my girls sc came out sick.

I'm trying to find a place to get those mdf adapters made, coz ppl are having issues with the ones on ebay. So until I can find some, the install will be put on hold
