I'd have to think there are some exceptional stereo shops around where you live.... I'd let them figure it out for you.

Have a particular brand in mind?

Lots of shops but few willing to touch my car. No brand in mind, I just want it to sound amazing.

My guy here that I'll be taking the car to in a few days is amazing. Moved here from Vegas where he was the custom sound man installing for
a majpr Limo customization company. He opened his own shop here and has a waiting list of people wanting him to do their work.

I'll let you know what he says and thinks.

Which system do you currently have? I have the B&O, and while I think the sound quality is superb (just sat in the driveway and listened to a whole album one night after I got the car), I agree with posts I've seen elsewhere that they didn't put enough punch in the rear speakers. I've considered looking into aux amps that I've seen mentioned elsewhere....
