New HU (Pioneer DEH-P8500MP) need Speaker help

I just got a Pioneer DEH-P8500MP. Actually I just ordered it. What do you think about this deck? Does anyone have any picture of it installed in their car?

Also I need some speakers for a 1998 maxima GXE. I wanted to get a bose system but I changed my mind. What speakers can I get for a low price that sound better than a stock bose? Both Front/Rear
Thanks

The new ones (2003 models) scroll and support 16 character XM, instead of 8. His should be fine.

Are you positive they scroll automatically or just once when you hit the button?

Also, i think you can only get 16 character if you purchase the
GEX-P910XM digital receiver. Otherwise it will only be 8 character.

Correct.

And I'm not positive about the scroll, maybe it is a button. I can look tomorrow. My buddy with the new 8500MP usually drives to lunch.

The old ones can scroll with the push of a button. It's a pain though and definitely short-sighted on the part of Pioneer. ANY deck that claims to handle MP3s should have scrolling titles as default.
