I have a 2002 Pontiac Firebird and I need something that's going to be loud enough to be heard (safely) while the T-Tops are off in the summer... I'd also highly desire for the head unit to illuminate red like the rest of my interior...

My setup is going to include
-- A Head Unit that must have the following features CD's/CD-R,DVD's, MP3's, XM Radio Ready, and a flip screen to watch DVD's (while parked of course)

-- A Amplifier

-- Four new speakers

-- XM Reciever

-- POSSIBLY Navigation Reciever

My NEEDS

Head Unit that matches my gauge / dash lights (RED)
--Must play CD's, DVD's, MP3's, XM Radio with extra equipment, Flip Screen
--At least 45x4Watts

Speakers
--Good enough to be heard audibly with the T-Tops off and doing 70 MPH.

My WANTS (cool to have but not necessary)
--Navigation Ready

Can anyone give me a Head Unit suggestion which lights up red? also what kind of specs and wattage should I be looking for between my Head Units, Speakers, and Amp???

 

To get this started, tell us what your budget is.

 

Never really thought of it, but is it realistic to say I'm trying not to spend over a grand? maybe 1.5k at best???

 

Figure on spending 600-$1000(online)for your fllip-up 7" dvd head unit.
Around $400 for speakers(4ea), and 2-$300 for a 4 channel amp..
