Definately worth doing. Not that hard just off with the door skin, a couple of hours worth of sound deadening then in with the replacement drivers. You will need to use a level convertor for geting low level inputs to your amp for the sub. Dont buy a cheap line level convertor though you will regret it down the trasck with crap sound and interferience.

I would definately run 4 gauge to the back for amplifiers.
Project is not a BA, lets just say that. It is nothing as wild as trhe previous car it's just something for my wife but with a couple of "PYRO" mods.

Ok a little bit more info, it's an E-series, will be finished the stereo in about 2 months, will be BETTER sounding than my current car with moer boot space and a few unique aspects (1 in particular).
It's an Auto with Extractors and 2.5" exhaust other than that no engine mods. I'll start a new thread later for it as a project showing all the stereo progress photos (there are plenty), with some handy hints to other e-series owners about how some things can be done with this model.

Go to Jaycar & buy a little gadget that can convert your normal speaker wires into RCA outputs. Then you can amp all your speakers.
 You can even run an sub with the stock headunit. Works a treat I've gone 139db in a AU still be able to use the Factory volume controls.

Make sure you get a reasonable one as the cheaper ones often have problems with them not to mentionr educde sound quality. I have 2 i got custom built by David Navone in the US if your interested.
