[QUOTE="XxAkroNyMxX, post: 5885956, member: 587815"] First of all, I would like to personally thank you for your son. This is a very cool thing you are doing for him. As for the Headunit, I prefer Kenwood or JVC personally, but its all matter of opinion. Find the one you like for the price you are willing to pay. I would strongly reccomend doing the front stage first. Im just assuming that since its a chrysler it has 5x7's up front, but you better make sure what size they are. Pick up a decent component set...Heres a link to a decent comp set for cheap.

You do not need a ton of power for the components, so I would reccomend something like: [URL="http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_9208_Phoenix+Gold+Ryval+V752.html"]http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_9208_Phoenix+Gold+Ryval+V752.html[/URL] This would be a very solid amp for this application. If your son is dead set on putting an amp and sub(s) in his vehicle, you better make sure he bumps responsibly. I never "bump" my system within a few blocks of my house, because when people hear my car then watch me pull in my driveway, they know where I live. I also would not reccomend bumping in the school parking lot, which will also direct attention and say "Steal me". Keep it respectful at traffic lights etc. and avoid those tickets!
