I just finished installing a Clarion DXZ 545 MP CD/MP3 player head unit, 4" Alpine SPS-100 speakers in the rear, 6.25" Alpine SPS-170 speakers in the front, a Clarion DCZ625 CD-changer below the shelf under the sink, a Clarion APA-2001 400W AMP, and a Clarion 12" subwoofer under the rear bench seat. I am very, very, very pleased with how its turned out. Do yourself a favor and get an amp and subwoofer. Zeppelin rocks! Any music sounds better with the sub in there. I use MP3 CD's way more than the CD changer. Had to run lots of wires for this system, but used the original speaker wires. Make sure you get a system with a remote control, its awesome!!
