As far as head units go, I love Alpine stuff and have for years...great radio reception, dependable as a Mercedes (and built like one too!) and they directly link to some very sophisticated processors (if ya ever want to upgrade). Plus, the newer models have plenty of power even without amps, and they're reasonably priced.

As to speakers, Boston Acoustics makes excellent speakers that are also very reasonable. Stay away from MBQuart (unless you add a processor), as they're BY FAR the brightest speakers out there....will make your ears bleed. I like lots of high end/treble, but even I had to dial back the MBQuarts (and they were NOT cheap by any means). Not so the BAs, and they have several models based upon what you want to spend.

Best of luck!
