If you are going offroad alot don't bother with a cd player just get one of these

then spend money on good speakers and a sub and amp

or get a set of these

That way you can spend more money on the brumby :)

Alpine S-Type speakers are good bang for buck. I have them in my foz. If you went with the more expensive R-Type instead you would get good bass. Considering you only need 2 aswell not like with a bigger car when you need 4 it could be worth going for good ones.

6 1/2" splits in the R-Type I would recommend. Get a small, cheap 2 channel amp (you don't need 4 channel as you only have 2 speakers) that puts out a min of 60watts to each channel(speaker). Some heavy duty wire and put the amp under the passengers seat or in the dash if small enough. In a brumby I wouldn't bother with a sub, get some top of the line speakers and they will through out enough and go loud enough to make you deaf (like I am going due to listing to my music too loud lol)

Get a headunit with Aux and/or USB connectivity. That way you can have all your music on a single USB and your set. You could get a good head unit for $100-160 then $250 on the speakers, $150 on the amp (ebay is your best bet) and then just wiring, fuses and the likes.

It would go pretty hard like that. And if your young too then obviously the stereo is the most important part of the car ;) :D
