Default question about aftermarket headunits and fitment kit for A4s

I love the LOOK of the factory headunit but less than satisfy with the sound quality. I have the basic unit (concert?) in a 99.5 A4 w/ the factory 6 disc changer. If I decide to go with an aftermarket headunit what are my options as far as harness/fitment kits are concerned (are there any or do you all have custom fitment kits?). Also, If I decide to keep the factory headunit, as far as sound goes, would upgraded speakers, added sub(s) and amp(s) would do the job? URLs and pics are appreciated.<ul><li><a href="http://webkyaw.freehosting.net">My A4 page</a></li></ul>

Default Check the Audio Forum - plenty of options

Fitting an aftermarket HU is easy - any good installer can do it. You will NOT find one that matches as well as the stock unit though - I think there are only a few in red, and they're not necessarily the best choices.

Consider keeping the stock HU and replacing the speakers; it's not a bad route. Certainly sounds better than stock, and you not only keep the stock look, but it's totally stealth so no worries about theft.
