Mmm, misunderstanding.
Not planning to have a "sound system" - thinking more a single-din basic but good quality head unit and lightweight speakers (stock ones can be quite heavy, not just sound bad). Just looking for a spot in the dash to store things / put gauges, a little better audio quality, and lighter weight.

I don't need bass and there's an OK selection of lightweight speakers that don't draw really high. For the cubby-hole or plate to hold gauges, I have access and experience with glass and carbon, so that wouldn't be heavy either.

Right now I have a Bazooka (self-powered mini-sub) in my WRX that I got for free, but it's removed always for autox and often so i can fit a bike in the trunk, anyway.
