I just installed a
Pioneer DEH-80PRS set up 3 way active-
Apline PDX-V9 5 channel amp 4X100 watts RMS and 1X500 watts RMS
Image Dynamics CTX65cs Component speakers for the front
Image Dynamics IDMAX 10 inch sub in custom built sealed box.

I know most dont care for the single din headunit, but I love this one, and the options for audio tuning are really incredible for only being $280. Setting it up 3 way active was very simple and sounds amazing. The tweeters run off the head unit, door speakers (I have no rear speakers) and sub off the amp. I also installed Second Skin Audio corvette sound deadening package. Sound is incredibly better than the stock base stereo, and the sound deadening makes the car much more enjoyable and quiet. I did a before and after decibel measurement and dropped 6 decibels. Once I change the General tires out for nicer ones, I expect it to quiet down even more. My friend and I built the box ourselves out of 3/4 inch MDF, and coated it with bedliner to fully seal the box. We made the box so it would be easy to remove for track day and spirited weekend driving events.
