Help me out deciding what i should get for christmas.

1. A new Deck for my car. I have subs with stock speakers and a deck that came with the car when i bought it. However ive researched the deck that I have and its outdated by todays standards. I could get a really nice one for around 300 that ive been looking at for a while

OR

2. Replace the stock speakers. I do like to hear quality audio

OR

3. Mach 1 Big brake kit. Ive wanted this for a while but i have all these other things to choose from too

OR

4. A new Ford Mortorsport Steering Wheel. Mine is starting to flake and crack

OR

5. Bi-Xenon HID kit that has been a hot topic of discussion on here lately

OR

6. This is a little more than i wish to spend but a hand held tuner might be an option as well

All of these can be had for about 300 bucks or less. Please give me your suggestions

It's so hard thinking about this stuff when it coems to your own car..but are eager to give your own opinion for someone else's cause. It's quite amazing. Which is why i need your help!

I would go with the steering wheel, its in your face all the time so you will appreciate it the most.

My second choice would be the handheld programmer.

If you like quality audio, then go with speakers, but don't buy cheap ones, as far as speakers go, you get what you pay for. Definately keep that in mind. Another thing to consider is that a new deck will definately make your stock speakers sound better, being they have much more tweaking abilities than the stock deck, ie. crossovers, equilizers and the such. So i'd say the deck or speakers.

the SCT LiveWire looks enticing but its almost 600 bucks, double the intended amount i wished to spend

however LiveWire is the only way id go as far as something like that

as far as the speakers i was looking at are these: http://www.crutchfield.com/S-NCzNGxSPIaX/cgi-bin/prodview.asp?I=107db6500&wm=cl

FR500 steering wheel FTW! It makes the car feel completely different.
