Default get rid of the stock radio or keep it

trying to decide wether to keep the stock radio & 6 disc cd changer maybe add a little punch to it with an sub enclosure and rear view 6 inch monitor or replace it with an aftermarket unit and a six disc dvd changer ....................what sucks is i just paid 200 bucks for the damn wood grain and find it soooooo hard to rip out the factory head piece with the newly added wood grain ....what do you guys think

You could keep the stock radio but feed the RCA's from the stepdown to an AudioControl Four.1 with line driver. Boosting the voltage on the RCA's from approximately 1-2 volts up to 13 volts. Your amps will love you.
