[QUOTE="CertifiedHoodClassic, post: 8914356, member: 685714"] Have you already checked Crutchfield to see if they have info about installing a new headunit and door speakers? They usually have helpful information like what the stock speakers sizes and locations are, plus what harnesses you might need to put a HU in. It will probably be very easy in an 09 (not so for new cars). Looks like it has a 160A alt and a single under hood battery from the factory. You could probably get 1-1.5k out of it.
