Yeah I know that stuff is crazy expensive especially the headunit it's tippin a grand without taxes or extra warrenites.
As far as headunit's go i like alpines, pioneers, and kenwoods. If you want want to learn alot about car audio, to see whats good and not check out www.caraudio.com/forum. I've learned a TON over the past couple of months from there.

You can find some component sets that mount the same was coaxial's do but are actually seperate. I think CDT makes one, elemental designs makes 2 kinds, diamond audio make a couple. Theres a few brands that do but off the top of my head thats all i got.

You have the money.... go with a double-din. The custom bezels are all over this board. The Pioneer D3 goes for about that price now AND has navigation.
I second switching to components for the front. Dramatically improves sound stage. Coaxils for the rear is fine.
How many subs are you planning on? Just one? If so, I would switch both amps for the opposite model offered by Alpine. Higher power F600 and lower power M500. If you plan on running a pair of subs, I'd still think about bumping up to the F600.

Then what's the point? Coaxils all have built in caps that block bass to the tweeter and inductors that block highs to the woofer. If you can't improve on the sound stage, then why bother?!
. not my cup of tea, but an idea

I know I asked what everyone else recommends and i'll take it into consideration if I do a system in another vehicle......maybe a Durango or something like that for winter. But for now it's going to be just Alpine.
My brother put two 12 type E's in his Probe and I feel sorry for the thing. Those subs are shaking that car apart. He also has an older Alpine headunit (not sure which model). Has bostons in the doors and in back and I can't stand the way they sound..they are way too high pitched for me.
