What year is your car, what kinda power are you looking for, and what is your budget?

Because 2200 dollar sound systems get stolen a week after you spend 6 hours installing it and your dash get ripped apart and then you wait 3 months and insurance still doesn't get your dash fixed, and when you finally do you get a refurbished unit that is in terrible condition so you raise hell till they get you a new one but it takes them forever to get one in so your stuck without music or A/c vents or a dash. That is why you should not get a sound system
The End

Yeah I am still going through it my dash is in pieces.

But exhaust and CAI are both good visual and perf. mod so thats why most people do it first. And the only other visual mod you can get for 500 bucks is maybe tint and some bullet interior stuff.
