Well the old Bose sure sounds good like you guys heard in my video clips.
But it just looks dull there i want to bring something new to light up the inside of my car.
Since the 87 has a 1.5 din i cant get a dbl din player like i wanted!
But i have looked around and found this and really like it!

Clarion NZ409 7-Inch Single DIN Mulitmedia Station with Touch Panel Control, USB and Built-In Navi System.

Ive always been a pioneer guy but they dont have anything in single din like this...
I was looking at a dbl din till i found out they have to hack the bezel to peices to get it in..
Think ima partner it up with these speakers!

Pioneer TS-A6992R 5-Way 6-Inch X 9-Inch 460-Watt Speaker

Since i listen to rock no use for subs i like Hi's and i think a 5 way speaker will bring the rock music alive....
Far as door speakers im not 100% sure of the size needed so the Bose grille will fit over them.
So any advice in this matter id really love to have! Thank You! :rockon6rk:

Toss the pioneers and get some Kappa Infinity 6x9 3 ways...better sound and last longer. But with any of these you will need at least a minimal amp to to reach rms and decent sound repo.

How much of an amp?
You mean these speakers?

While the Infinity Kappas are good I wouldn't completely dismiss the Pioneers I have always had goodluck with them and if comparing dollar for dollar the sound quality is fairly equal. I personally prefer Cerwin-Vega's and if going to the trouble of changing them I would go with a round speaker in the rear as they have a better sound quality then a 6x9. Check your PM bro, and I hope this helps some

:iagree: II I've used Infinity's in several applications and been very happy with them.

I would like to get a new system someday, mine is the stock set up still and it is getting worn.
