First of all, What kind of systems and set ups do you guys have in your C3s? Anyone have any pictures in how they put a sub in the back while still leaving enough space for the T-tops? I dont know much about audio speakers on what sounds good or whats the best bang for the buck. I was looking to spend around 1000 on a sound system and was wondering what you all thought would be a good fit for my C3. I listen to a lot of rock and metal with the ocasional rap music here and there. Well thanks for all the ideas guys!

I have a Sony Head unit with an Ipod adapter. The front dash speakers are after market units that came with the car, probably some old Kenwoods or Pioneers. I gave up on trying to get enough bass out of the 6 x 9's, the exhaust is just too loud. Pep Boys had these speaker boxes fully loaded for $59.95. I added a (Dual brand) 600W amplifier ($100) for the rear speakers. Now I get enough thump and bump to make the hair on my arms stand up.
