Completely replaced my audio system

I have the moon and tunes package. First I replaced the speakers (the originals were so flimsy..paper!). Then, as much as I hated to, I replaced my radio with the 6 CD changer. Yes, the speakers were an improvement, but the sound was still muddled. It still was not what I expected..so now...I have Diamond speakers up front with the tweeters...Excelon (Kenwood) speakers in the back..have the Dynamat material in my doors, and a high end stereo (Eclipse). Finally, after big bucks..I have incredible sound. When I had my VW, I just replaced my stereo and did not change the speakers and had great sound. This cost me around $1200 to get the right sound.Duncan

Sounds about right. As long as you appreciate it, no problems!

I fail to understand why everyone gets the moon and TUNES and then removes the TUNES part. It makes no sense!

Perhaps to get the MOON part?

i have heard a lot of horror stories about aftermarket sunroofs. i would like to get new speaks, but the damn amp is stopping me, since i don't want to buy a new one, and i still have the factory HU. that is a lot of money you spent on speakers, i would hope it sounds good!

I bought most of my stuff on e-bay at a discount. I like it. The problem w/ the M&T was there wasn't enough low end and kick on the thing.

IE, if you get aftermarket speakers, you can get a resistor that'll bring it to 2 Ohms..so you don't lose any power.As for the aftermarket sunroof..had one on my Ford Probe. You noticed after about eight years, little dents on the edges where the roof was sagging a little..but it worked really well!
