Upgrading stock am/fm CD player and speakers

There are quite a few posts about upgrading the existing Stereo system. I assume with Package #9, you have the upgraded stereo with the 6 disc CD system.

In order of importance these are the mods I would do.

1. Turn down the midrange and turn up the high to max. 0$
2. Disconnect the center speaker.$0
3. Replace the front tweeters.$100-$200

At this point your system should sound much much better. This is where I am at.

4. Replace the front woofers (although the existing ones are pretty good).$100-$200
5. Install sound deadening material in the doors to eliminate the door panel rattles.$50-$100
6. Install an amplified subwoofer. The simplest would be to use the JVC SW1 and put it in the rear hatch area above the spare tire. $150

At this point you need to start spending big bucks on equipment to go to the next level. The best would be to go to JL Audio compenents and;

7. Install and SSI summing device to combine the front high and low amp outputs. Install a cleansweep to equalize the outputs from the amp. Install a 4 or 5 channel amp. This step would be about $1000.
