Question Sound system idea. Is this do-able?

Okay, I have a 96 TA. I want to add a little punch to my stock system. I currently have the 200 watt 8 speaker system w/ the rear CD changer, tape deck, and steering wheel controls. Here is what i have in mind.

Move the diskchanger to the middle glove box. If it doesn't fit buy an aftermarket and use that. Put a 10/12 sub in the back left corner panel, use the stealth box. Put the amp where my spare tire used to be. Here the trouble spot.... I want to keep my steering wheel controls functional. If I change the deck is this possible? I don't know much about car audio, but I'm pretty sure I can use the factory deck w/ the sub and such. I would really like to get a new head unit though. What are my options? Any input is appreciatied!

Thanks,

Mike

Visit www.ls1.com cn click on the "electronics" forum. Check out the FAQ tread at the top in blue writing. That should answer all your questions.

Very do-able, but you'll need some converters go read^^^.
You'll have more luck getting the changer in the other glove box. It will need to be a custom fiberglass/MDF job more than likely.

Thanks for your help! I will check it out ASAP. I noticed one of you sell stealth boxes for 2 bills. Does that include shipping?

Thanks again,

Mike

Nope he's talking about my used boxes for 12" with 1.0 cu ft volume. Much easier to run a W3V2 or Type-R when you have the correct volume.

I reread your post. You'll get the biggest increase in listening pleasure from adding a new head unit and a sub/amp combo. Might as well get the head unit if you're just gonna have to spend nearly $100 on a converter anyway. Post up with anymore questions.
