Car stereo MOD and what kind of speakers?
want to put in a good quality car stereo into my TC. What kind of speakers will work? Should I put in car speakers of home entertainment speakers? Is there a compatibility factor?

When choosing speakers, you need to keep n mind the type of stereo/amp running them. Car audio speakers are going to be 4ohm load and home are 8ohm. Car audio will typically be a bit shallower, and be made from materials that are okay to use in the elements. Even speakers inside of an RV will benefit from polypropelene (or similar) construction. Outdoor speakers should be marine speakers. Weatherproof construction and a good seal between the speaker and the mounting surface.
If you like quality audio, I would recommend Infinity. They are a part of Kardon Industries - Harmon Kardon, JBL, Infinity, Crown. Great sound quality for the money. As for a stereo, I like the offerings from Alpine. These radios do draw a lot of current, not good for running off of battery power. Alpine also offered a small in-line amp for their stereos, doubling the power to up to 4 speakers. Power = clarity.
