My system has no amp, and the lack of volume proves it. I took the dash apart today and it seems that there may be room underneath the stock HU to install another din radio and relocate the climate controls down below. Metra now has a double din kit that does just that. with a little modification, this setup should work quite well. I almost considered keeping the stock Hu and using a JL Cleansweep, but I'm not too crazy about the functionality of it, especially the ipod control and how it doesnt allow you to display artist or track info by default with the HD and Sat radio.

I was thinking a nice 3 way component set up front and use the midbass drivers in place of the oem subs, but if 8's will fit, that could eliminate the need for a trunk mounted sub. I'll also look into the PDC piece. If the gong is eliminated anyway, what is the purpose of the speaker? (I have no PDC)
