Just lookin for ideas here...I guess this requires a lil work but if u like audio I guess it'd be kinda fun. Just lookin for people to come up with the best system possible spending the least amount of money. IonNinja 2005 Saturn ION-2 Sedan 1996 Ford Contour GL - Collecting dust...Zetec project anyone?

Wiring harnesses from CC $36.06 I still need DIN tool $5 Soldering iron + solder + wire + ?? So for roughly $275 + some tools I think that I'll make out OK. If I could spend some more I'd consider budget component set group buy at ~ $85/pr incl shipping Any capable HU @ roughly $150 delivered Infinity basslink @ $230 delivered 4 channel amp? $150? $700 or so for a pretty decent system. About the only thing I'd upgrade after that is the subwoofer to a more customized solution, and/or a more powerful amp and/or a satellite capable HU. Hopefully still under $1K. It always amazes me that the OEM Bose audio systems are > $1K options on automobiles
