got the
Alpine 9881
i picked it because its a lot like my stereo in my passat (alpine 9885) but just more toned down. if i decide to change them from car to car i can do that because the wiring harness is the same
also got a crossfire vr402 2x200watt amp to power my 5.25" component speakers in my qlogic kick panels

so far everything sounds amazing! still need to purchase aftermarket 3.5" and 4x10" speakers to be driven by the headunit in the stock locations and my 10" sub and amp for sub.
