Can you give me the run down?

How much are you willing to spend? If I have a better idea on your budget I can guide you in the right direction.

If it's not too late I want all the info. I came from a 97 BMW e39 with massive stereo, the audi medium one sounds distorted. I'm considering moving my hertz 2 part composite speakers and my 2x10" kicker sub into it but I'm not sure how. don't wanna ruin the interior. I wanna keep the original unit if possible. BTW mine came without aux/usb/BT,only a 6 disc changwr, how did u get up connections going?

Thanks in advance, Ruben

so i am wondering how to hook everything up correctly and if it would be better/safer to have car toys do the wiring
