Okay, I wanna upgrade the stereo, give me a good setup so i can go to the guys at my car place and sound like i got my nuts on tight, and if you can give me an estimate, including speakers, sub, and maybe a LCD DVD player in the head unit, i have and EX with a stock system, also will i need to have the wiring redone if its a more powerful system, I like brand names... i was told Blaupunkt was good, seeking help from a Guru on this one, dont know jack about anything, 18-year-old-ness is what its called, i think...

I know little about the subject as well, and I am a bit more than twice your age. :) Each of us develops an area of expertise, so don't sweat it. It's a really good idea to ask eMass his opinion. I am just he'll set you right.
