Can't comment on brands but Crutchfield has treated me like a GOD for any AV stuff I have bought for my wheels. I just swapped in speakers (Polks in my case) that fit the OEM holes, wired in the iPod and called it good...
That way its all stock- all the time

i've heard of people doing it. using a stereo plug... something like that anyway. but it requires you to modify some parts of the original stereo. the jvc i bought was only 300 and the speakers were 10.

I'm running an Alpine CDA-9856, with a 16GB IPod Nano. Runs to a Rockford Fosgate 400W 4-Channel amplifier hidden under the storage bin bracket. In the front I have Rockford 100W, 5 1/4" component speakers, and in the rear there's Rockford 50W, 6 1/2" 3-way speakers. Sounds great, nice and clear, and enough bump that I feel no need to add a subwoofer and another amp. In this case eBay was a great help, and probably saved me from spending double the cost if I had bought retail. The only thing I bought retail was the IPod.

I'm running a Pioneer head unit, Kicker 6" speakers in the front mounted inside, Pioneer 6x9" speakers mounted in the rear bins, a Kicker 350w sub that's hidden in the driver side bin, and a Kicker Comp VR sub in truck style box that sits in the back snuggly where the spare tire goes. I've had this setup for a year, cost was very good and it sounds amazing.

Soon my car will be getting 3 memphis Pr 12's an amp per sub. Memphis M class highs and I am not really sure on the deck just yet. But I think it will be a clarion.

did u put the 5.25 speakers in the stock location and cut the hole biger or make pods for them? i've got 4" and the grills just barely clear the hood release.

Pioneer DEH-5900IB. It's pretty much made for an Ipod and I love it.

I have always ran Infinity Kappa speakers and been pleased. There aren't any speakers in my SA right now. I have the Pioneer radio and a couple sets of Kappas waiting to go in whenever I get off my *** and do it.

I'm running a Pioneer single-DIN head unit, MP3 data disc capable, with Pioneer speakers all around. Very crisp sounding. Crutchfield FTW!
