Sorry, I thought I'd just say 6.5 component so no one would have to look it up. It's a 2005 Infiniti G35x withOUT the Bose system.

So I recently got a nice new Pioneer HU. I want to just replace my stock speakers and not mess with fiberglass. (I've done the full kick pod thing and custom fit trunk sub enclosure before) I have no brand loyalty as long as it works. My last stereo was a 10w7 and whatever the middle of the line...

As the title says, I just need a basic NAV+DVD (for long trips...err sitting in the car with it in park), +bluetooth (Pandora), and the highest quality SQ possible. I have double DIN and am open for anything. Looking to spend $400 or less after all installation costs (wiring, harnesses, etc.)

It's stock now. My car isn't overly noisy, I just put that there as reference to how NOT loud I would need it. Most people need MUCH more volume than I require.

Basically, I can only get one "set" of things at once. So, a sub+amp, components+amp, or head unit. Right now the car is TOTALLY stock = Double-DIN, 5.25 comp. w/ tweets in A, no sub. It will be a good 6 months to a year before the next "item", so I figured I'd get the best experience out of...

What would you start with then? It will be a good 6 months to a year before the next "item", so I figured I'd get the best experience out of cheap stock junk and a good sub vs HU and no sub or components and no sub, etc. Open for suggestions.

Ideally, I want as "up front bass" (cliche I know) as possible. The ONLY goal is to have high high SQ while still being able to hear it at 75mph on a windy interstate. (if you've ever been on I90 you know what I mean) My car isn't the quietest either. Infiniti G35x. Setup will be entirely stock...
