Yes, I have the Boston system currently.

I've gone by local shops to listen to Polk, Infinity, and Kickers which all sounded pretty good. I thought the Polk and Infinity sounded better than the Kickers though (Just personal opinion). I also went by the shop where I got my subs installed to check out the JL Audio, JBL, and Memphis speakers. Out of the six speakers I listened to the kickers were my least favorite. The other five brands I listened to sounded pretty damn good/decent. I'm not exactly sure what I'm willing to spend exactly yet. Been looking into upgrading to the Scosche dash kit possibly ( I've never been crazy over the Metrakit ), Pioneer 4400 BH stereo / Pioneer avic z140, and then car speakers. I'm really just trying to plan a budget because I thought it might be best just to do it all at once? To do any of that though it seems like I better be ready to spend $1000 - $2000.

Thanks

My car is not tinted. I'm pretty sure tinted windows would help though.

As far as replacing the speakers, I would urge you, if you're on that tight of a budget, to just buy a quality amp first. I really thought the factory speakers sounded decent when I had an old 25Wx4 Alpine hooked up to them. They got plenty loud and sounded pretty clean. I had terrible issues with speaker pop (caused by stupid factory head unit) that you'll be avoiding by replacing the head unit. The speaker pop is the only reason I took out that old Alpine. I really think you'd be very surprised with the factory speakers if you get rid of that lousy head unit and terrible, terrible, terrible factory Boston amp. That factory amp is junk.
