Default New Head Unit Install whaddaya think?

Hey guys, installed a new headunit over the weekend, let me know what you guys think. Anything you'd suggest tweaking or anything along those lines. I need some suggestions for a good sub and amp combo. Probably going to switch from the two 12 setup to 1 10" in a stealth enclosure.

Head unit is a Sony XPlode CDX-GT640UI
Speakers are some ancient Pioneers, I don't even know what they are.
Amp is a Kenwood somethin or other, I'm switching it out too so I'm not worried about it.

Gotta give a shoutout to the flameball btw, I love that thing.

The subs and amp aren't even hooked up yet.

I might paint the ipod cord black and hide it a bit better, kind of obnoxious sticking out the front like that. Although that hole makes for an excellent iphone holder. Keeps everything out of the way really nice. Had to keep it with the blue lighting since the flameball glows blue and the car is NBM.

Do a for HUmount. They aren't a sponsor so it can't be linked in a post.
