(the car looks original and you cannot see the speakers). I can definately recommend one of the more expensive Sony head units with 40 watts of onboard amplification and this will drive external amps from RCA outputs. I can recommend JBL speakers for front and back and just get the most expensive ones you can afford. If you need some model numbers just post a reply. Hope this is some help to you GO FOR IT!!!!
