Here it is, the stock sound system sucks. Although I plan on mostly track use there will also be plenty of times when I will be driving for hours at a time. Any advice on aftermarket improvements would be helpful. Ipod stuff, CD changer, speakers, etc.

I was just playin with you, congrats on the car, I'm envious! Enjoy it, and I'm sure there's a lot of good options out there, just don't go putting too much extra weight back there with big subs etc. Go for the good clean sound. A good component set with a mild amp would be perfect, but I'm not too up on the audio scene anymore.

The Sound System is in the boot, just rev the **** out of it and it will make some great music for sure 
In my M400 I rarely turn the 'hi-fi' system on that I have installed in there (Clarion & Focal speakers), but it is definately good to have when you want it. Cheers!

Just got back from a local sound shop. Seems that the right front tweeter is not working.
His reccomendation was
Replace the tweeters on the dash.
Replace the door speakers.
Put additional speakers in the back, and there are already spots for them with grills.
Add an amplifier.
The amp is the tough part, where to put the thing. Normally under the seats but will it fit if I change the seats out for CGT seats? It can go in the boot but will be a PITA to mount.
All Alpine equipment. Around $1200.00 installed.

Thinking out loud, upgrading the sound system may be a waste because this year I'm hoping to get a trailer for track days. That would put an end to most long trips in the RS, the tracks are 2-3 hours away at the closest.
