[QUOTE="metalheadjoe, post: 8769420, member: 581422"] Beautiful car! In older vehicles, you generally have to choose between audio quality and original appearance. $7500 is far from a mediocre budget, and will get you near top shelf equipment if you install it yourself. Is the entire trunk fair game? Do you want to spend your entire budget, or is cheaper preferred? I would start by sound deadening the entire vehicle. In my experience, older vehicles rattle quite a bit. Sound deadener will make your music sound better and also make your vehicle more pleasant to ride in. I agree with [USER=654802]@1aespinoza[/USER] (first time I've said that!) that JL makes some fine products, but you will pay for them. I would look at Rockford Fosgate Power series for subs and amps, as i think they're a better value, though still on the high end price-wise. I'm not an SQ guy, so i can't help much with mids and highs. I have aftermarket speakers in all my vehicles, and i think any aftermarket coax sounds better than oem. How loud do you want to be? What do you want from your stereo? [/QUOTE]
