Hi-
As Mr. Gismo said, I think any good modern model will sound as good or better that the stock unit. The problem is finding a modern unit that visually integrates into the dash. I don't know what the modern car stereo manufacturers are thinking, but the models range from slightly too flashy to overwhelming. If you can find a nice looking simple model with the technical bells and whistles you like send me an e-mail. It does seem that Clarion one of the least offensive.
I also know that you will probably need to re wire the car to bypass the stock amp as the wires are bundled into one cable back to the amp. I have read on this board of people splicing into the big cable, but I would install a new amp while you are in the process. Part of the good sound is having enough power to easily push the speakers, and the stock unit is just on the plateau.
Also, speakers. Are your stock speakers still good? I bet a set of new component speakers that fit into the stock spaces would be the biggest improvement in sound you could get. I put a set of the least expensive Infinity component speakers into my truck, (They were on sale for $139 at Crutchfield) and I couldn't believe the difference.
Have fun.
Mike
