Hi i have a rather pathetic 106 mardi gras, it currently has the standard cassette radio, i would like to upgrade my whole audio system, i have no alarm on this car therefore do not particually want to spend loads of $$$$$ on hardware, i think i should just relace the head unit and front speakers (13cm if im correct). i am open to opinions on a suitable setup and also would be happy to recieve advice on what items to purchase (head unit MUST have CD-r, CD-rw, RDS and MP3). is there any way of conecting a small sub under a passenger seat or somthing without needing a amp? I am confused about front speakers and tweeters in particular :S. any help would be deeply appriciated, Craig |

That's what, 5 and 1/4 inches? You could do quite a bit with that...primarily buy a component set of speakers, Infinity would be a good way to go as Erik has mentioned before.
For a headunit, check out Alpine, Clarion ProAudio, or Pioneer.
You could get a pre-built, powered sub for under your seat. Check out Clarion's SRV303 and Infinity's BassLink. |

If you can fit it under the passenger seat like you were saying before, that would be a great spot. You can look for it used on Ebay and save a great deal of money compared to buying it new. |

It doesn't have to be placed under the seat, but it will sound the best there. You just slide it under the seat with power and RCA cables hooked up. |

You may try attaching velcro to the bottom of the unit if you have carpeting under the seat. |

You mean one pair of 6x9s in the rear? Nah, you want the front speakers also...If that's what you are asking, that is.
