Audio System for GF's Car...Help!

Should I upgrade the headunit before I do speakers and an amp in her car?

I would personally. But you can use a 4 channel line output converter. It's all up to what you/she wants. If she wants an aftermarket radio I say yes. If she wants the to keep the stock radio then go for the 4 channel line out converter.

Instead of the ID CTX's, look into the Pioneer TS-D1720C comps. They are cheaper and probably the most recommended comps I have seen for the price. Every review I have ever seen on them has been excellent. I bought 2 sets for my car when I got back for like $240 with extended warranty.

Personally, I would upgrade the H/U first, but that is because I just cant stand stock radios. But I have never bought a car with a stock nav or anything like that. I always get the most basic system and upgrade from there with what I want. I upgrade mainly for iphone integration and ease of tuning. But you can always get a fairly cheap LOC and get the speakers in for now and upgrade it later. But my Camry's stock system ******, and it got a lot better just by upgrading my H/U and doing some time and phase alignment and just tweaking it.
