    2005 silverado Extended Cab

    You look at this? I have their stealth box for my '11 Expedition EL and it's AMAZING. They custom design each model vehicle. https://www.jlaudio.com/collections/car-audio-stealthbox/products/sb-gm-slvcrw-10tw3-car-audio-stealthbox-94574

    Head unit suggestions?

    I went with JVC which is Kenwood/JVC. Guys at the shop said they've had some issues with Pioneer quality, but they do sell them. JVC's have been solid. I went with KW-V960BW so I could have wireless CarPlay. The model below that was wired only and should fit your budget. I like the JVC menu...

    Can a new head unit 100% duplicate stock function

    Hey OP - check out Maestro. https://maestro.idatalink.com This is what the place I get work done uses. On their website, you can check what functions may work. The head unit has to be compatible with it too.

    Alarm

    As mentioned earlier, I have the Python 5906. What I like about it is the features are real easy to find on the remote. I like that it works at a great distance and lets me know it received the command (2-way). I can set it to automatically start if the inside of the truck gets hotter or...

    best component speakers for factory headinit

    Depends on what you are doing, but for me, it was Infinity Kappa 60.11cs' I have them in an Expedition EL and they brought my system alive - all factory including the bass. Eventually, I may add an amp and upgrade the factory bass.

    Between these two which would you choose?

    I just recently upgraded my factory speakers to Infinity kappa 60.11cs in all four of my doors. I have an Expedition EL and ended up converting the rear doors to components as well. Get a good car audio shop to do the work and it will look stock. With that said, I listened to both JBLs and...
