Installed my heated mirrors and infinity tweeters. Was surprised at how much better the radio sounds with the tweeters.

That might be a wise idea. Nothing gets gas out of a vehicle like a lit match. Lol

Good to know about the tweeters. I have some that I bought awhile back for $40 shipped. On the to do list. What are you running for a radio and speakers? Mine is a stock non Infinity set up in the '00.

I have a Alpine cheapo unit that I am looking to replace. It just has am/fm aux and a USB port. I want to get something with Bluetooth for my phone. As far as speakers I have some Sony 6.5s that the PO installed. I want to get some cheap amp and sub to put under the rear seat. I don't need fancy but I would like to be able to have decent bass.

I highly recommend this unit,

https://www.crutchfield.com/p_130X39...VH-X390BT.html

I have one in my XJ and one in my service van. Excellent units, blue tooth play back is flawless. It is a digital media player, meaning no CD drive. Super light. Right price too.

I might add, do not buy Duel brand stuff. I got one of their units from crutchfield and the blue tooth audio after 10 minutes would get laggy and choppy.
