I went with stock head unit, Audiocontrol DQL-8 DSP, Boston SX-85 Speakers, Boston GT-50 Amp, Rockford P3S Sub, Parrot 3200LS Car Kit, and AAMP HD radio and iPod. I'm working on some other add-ons before I finish the install. About half done.
I have an OEM black '99 Exploder CD/Cassette HU at work. It actually works, but half of the display is dead.
