Scab audio setup

I have a 05 scab with the factory 6 disc indash cd player and was wondering what my options are for upgrading my sound system. I wanna keep the factory radio. Does anyone have any pics of their setup so I could get some ideas? Thanks for the help.

With speaker level inputs or speaker to line converters, you can do what ever you want as far as amps and filters.

I understand that these factory systems sound a lot better with a speaker upgrade. Right now my sound is stock, so I am just going off of what I have read.

I just upgraded the speakers along with seperate tweeters in the front doors. Also added the MTX powered sub and 100W amp for the front only, left the rears alone. With the stock HU, sounds tremendously better.

I've found myself listening to mainly ESPN's AM station, so I'm ok with the stock setup, but I would upgrade if I had the money. I'd get the JL stealthbox, and put my Boston Pro 6.5s in the doors. I have a couple JL amps that would do just fine. It would be nice to have a nice double DIN HU though.

Infinity 6x8's in the front and rear doors. Alpine 500 watt amp with an Infinity 10" sub. I'm thinking about adding a 4 channel amp to pump more into the 6x8's. I'm also considering adding another 10" sub because I have a dual sub box. But the problem is space for the amps. Not really looking forward to removing the backseat to do this though.

Thanks guys. How do I take off the rear door panel? I have only found one screw that is holding it on.
