Hiya, new obviously to the site.

Just bought 2008 Grand Prix GP (Base edition) last week. Stereo is nice for a factory (non-monsoon) edition, no onstar or anything.

But, obviously I am looking to upgrade.

I am thinking on doing component speakers in the front. 6.5" woofers and 1" tweeters of some sorts.

6x9 3 ways for the back.

For the head I am debating on the doing a double din option or the regular way and debating between a selfpowered base tube and a regular pair of 10's in a box. Thus I would also be debating on the amp usage if using one at all.

I am not looking to blow my ears or anyone elses, just good quality sound with a little edge to it when I feel the urge. As I am a graduate student I also am not looking to take out a small loan to do this.

Any recommendations or warnings on future problems would be appreciated. I have installled previous equipment on other cars (2003 eclipse, 98 Jeep) so if there is any obstacles in that respect I would appreciate a warning there.

I have heard of problems with the HUD loosing the calender option and all that jazz, also loosing door and warning chimes.

Appreciate it.
