Cool Head Unit Replacement

Ok - its time to upgrade my system in my 98 250 SC

I have already decided on the speakers - polks EX572's front & rear.

Question should I put in some tweeters in the kick panels??

I was in Circut City today and found a nice head unit that is MP3 compatable -(just got a new dell pc with all the toys so I will be burning) I already have a factory 6 disk chngr - salesman says everything must be replaced for compatability reasons?? Can someone tell me if that is BS or what?

I was hoping to get away with just chng out the head unit & speakers for some better sound - however if I have to r/r the chngr I will go for the 10 disk kenwood ($149.00)

With installation(MP3/CD/am/f/ 47x4 HU & 10 dsk chngr & 4 ex693's)everything will run about $800.00

Thanks in advance for all opinions

The salesperson at CC was right. Your new head unit will not be able to talk to the old cd changer. Your new head unit will be looking for a cd changer from it's own brand inorder to work. It speaks it's own language that only an after marker cd changer will communicate with. I know this sucks but there really isn't much you can do. I don't think there is any kind of an adaptor for it but hey, look online and see what you can find.
