Hell yeah! Same here, when I inherited my car, I took it straight to the audio shop the same night. Mine cost a bit over $1000 for the install and equipment though! Of course I have a cheap Alpine deck, they are the best! Invest in your door speakers, sub, and a durable mounting solution.

With $1k ive gotten a cf j's style half lip (brand new), MR catback exhaust(new), MR test pipe (used), yokohama S drives(new), and still had money to spend on whatever. $1k can go far if you know the right people.

Here's the Modifry website to be able to use the oem dash to control the deck.

I spent under $500 for my system and it sounds great!
Head unit: Pioneer DEH-7300BT ($150) I chose this because of Bluetooth phone capability. I used Sony Xplod before, and to tell you the truth the Sony sounded better because of higher wattage rating.
Speaker: Factory
Amp: Punch 100a2. The punch is usually under rated. This thing is powerful little bugger.
Subwoofer: JL Audio CP108LG-W3v3 ($225). This is perfect match with the punch. Small and powerful. This sub kick! I had Kicker Solobaric 12" that sounded only the same.
With this setup, I can listen to the music with top down on the highway comfortably.
You're welcome to hear my setup.

...I used to have a alpine amp and a Kicker L7 in my Corolla 
...Now that was too much kick! I'd love to hear it your setup. For bluetooth, I bought this headset speaker for the car about a year ago for $30 so I'll be fine on that feature. Yeah the Punch is def under rated, IMO I don't buy popular expensive brand name amps. I just find the ones that delivers the right amount of wattsNow wiring amp is a little more involved. You can get an install kit at walmart for a good price. Under $30. Install probably takes 1 hour, depends where you mount the amp and how. I put mine on the spare tire area and just use heavy duty commercial grade velcro.
The JL with the box is wasy. Just put it on the well and you're all done. I love the fact that it is easily removable like if I go to the track.
Thanks to Casey for the awesome amp!
