Crutchfield doesn't tell you what COULD fit in your car with a little bit of extra work and some fabrication. Also, while they have some good stuff, only one of my components would have been available there, since they don't sell JL Audio or Alpine.
And buying something online, then installing it in your car and listening to it is not a very good way to compare, since the stock audio in a 240 is awful. This has been the Crutchfield trick since day 1, although it's getting harder as the auto companies are putting better sound in their cars now.
The best thing to do is to go listen carefully to a lot of different stuff using your own music and making sure that the subwoofers and extra amps are off, then talk to a local installer about what they think is possible, and if you want something "impossible", figure out a way to do it yourself, which I had to.
The wiring harness adapter Crutchfield includes is worthless on a 240 since the stock wires are inadequate and also old and possibly shorting somewhere. Why buy a new system and then trust it to those old wires which will denigrate the sound?
So the only thing that Crutchfield gives you is the mounting bezel, which you can buy locally for pocket change, and in return you get to pay retail plus shipping for everything. The only time I would buy from them is if they had something at a deep discount.
