I don't 20 inch subs, I mean real listen to music upgrades. I run the gamut from Wynton Marsalis, to Hillary Hahn, to Dave Matthews, and the stock system, to put it bluntly, sucks. I've got a Blaupunkt head and changer in my car with infinity 6.5 components, and a couple of amps. I like quality sound, not wall shaking thumps, anyone? crickets.... crickets....   Craig Kobayashi (Koby) Dweb Lounge Member Username: Koby Post Number: 1074 Registered: 02-2002 Posted on Thursday, February 19, 2004 - 12:56 am:    Sure there is. How much $$$ do you want to spend? I replaced everything in my 2001 SD   Jamil Abbasy (Jamooche) Senior Member Username: Jamooche Post Number: 349 Registered: 05-2003 Posted on Thursday, February 19, 2004 - 01:03 am:    Do you have the HK system? Craig...did you upgrade from the HK system? I think it's pretty good, but lousy at highway speeds due to the noise. I want to eventually get something with a line in for my XM and mp3 player that also works with the HK system and CD changer.   Chad Meyer (Ccdm3) Member Username: Ccdm3 Post Number: 211 Registered: 07-2002 Posted on Thursday, February 19, 2004 - 01:37 am:    Yeah, it is difficult to get much out of the Disco...poor speaker placement, no where to run wires, tons of rattles. I went with MB Quartz seperates, Eclipse head unit, Audio Control processor, Pheonix Gold amp, Eclipse 12, Monster Cable, and lots of Dynamat. Good luck   Craig Kobayashi (Koby) Dweb Lounge Member Username: Koby Post Number: 1075 Registered: 02-2002 Posted on Thursday, February 19, 2004 - 02:38 am:    I had the SD piece of crap stereo, so I replaced everything. I spent plenty of moolah and spent plenty of time doing the installation. If you're dying to know what I've got, shoot me an e-mail.   Aaron Richardet (Draaronr) Senior Member Username: Draaronr Post Number: 433 Registered: 09-2002 Posted on Thursday, February 19, 2004 - 08:33 am:    97 DI, (4) 6.5 image dynamics.
