Is it worth it?

Hey,

Im in the same boat here, Nick. Im looking at all my possible choices regarding updating the sound system. Having just bought the car, Im not in the best position to spend a lot right now. Still, I find it hard to believe that a car in this range can have such a crappy sound system.

Im thinking of updating the speakers to components, and possibly replacing the headunit with a Pioneer. I dont really need NAV, as Im not sure how well it would work here in Puerto Rico... As long as it has good sound quality, and ipod connectivity, Im good to go. For sure, Ill go for a good, small (maybe a 10") sub in the future.

Back to the speakers, though (this question going to kenchan)... I used to install car speakers in all the previous cars I had, however, Ive never installed a component speaker system. Were would you recommend to place the crossover (Id definitively like to keep it out of view)? Could you maybe be a bit more specific as to how you did your install?
