I took my Contour to Autotronix in South Irving. They have a lot of their inventory on great sales to clear out for next years items.. I spent a total of $2400 with the radio, 4 5X7's, 2 12's, and two amps... If you don't want the rattle either get some dynomat or just lay your back seats down.. That helped the system hit harder as well.
As far as looks .. I put 18in rims on mine and everyone thought it was dropped.. Looked pretty tight too...
