I'm sure this has been beat to death a million times, but a search hasn't returned anything useful.

My car had a CD changer at one point, but it was robbed somewhere in it's life. I still have the bracket in place in the trunk and the connector is there, so picking up a $37 CD changer from ECS in an option.

My question is: Do I leave the stock cassette radio in place, (less likely to be stolen) pick up a CD changer and upgrade the speakers keeping the system simple to use and clean looking or upgrade the speakers and go with an aftermarket headunit (keeping in mind, I would want the blue/red lighting)

Again, I apologize for this issue that I'm sure has been covered, and I thank you for the input.
