Ditch the Sony xPlode amp first up ;-)

How much are you looking at spending??? Next tip, do some searching in the Audio section a lot of these questions have been answered before. In short, steer clear of JB, Autobarn, Strathies etc. Where are you located so a decent installer can be recommended?

Also there isn't realy anything special about updating (im guessing a gen 3s) stereo, as theres no 'odd' or fiddly bits, its all standards sizes etc, so you can get specific questions answered here if you need mate, but most 'how to' car audio guides will be helpful also :D

Cheers,
Nick

Mate, no offence, but pretty much all of these questions have been answered before in the forums. Do some searching and I am sure you will find all the info you need. Perhaps not Gen3 specific but everything else you can think of has been answered by myself, Mihai, solongaudi and others.

First thing you need to do when it comes to planning an aftermarket stereo is get Sony xPlod out of your mind as well as Pioneer (except for a few headunits), JVC (except for a couple of amps), Kenwood (except nothing), Fusion, Kicker, Soundstream etc etc etc but mainly Sony. They don't make anything "decent".

Look at websites like www.fhrxstudios.com and www.formaudio.com. FHRX is one of the top installers in the country and Form Audio is fantastic as well. They both stock the brands you want to look at, they don't push b/s systems like the sales people at any chain store you can think of. Also www.mobileelectronics.com.au it's probably the best aussie car audio forum.
