I dunno, mang. I almost think doing a stock deck/AUX input mod with some kind of digital music player just might be the answer. You can feed it into a decent 4 channel amp that has a "summed output" and use that output to drive a sub amp that has a dash mounted level control.

Basic stuff. A single 10" sub, seperates in front, co-ax in the rear.

If you want better sound later, add an electronic crossover (true tri-amped 3 way), lose the rear speakers, make some kind of speaker pods for the front so you can get decent midbass out of a 6.5" driver.

That is likely what I am gonna do for my son's car.

That way, if you get desperate for that last 2% of SQ, you can spend a bazillion dollars on a deck.

Just make sure your portable has a true line level output, not just headphones.

What portable mp3 players come with a true line level output?
