The modern stereo system

I never have liked kick panel speakers. Too low and close to feet and dirt and water and everything that's a speaker's enemy. I know you said no "old ***" C/D (gosh thanks for that) but I have been exceptionally happy with mine. AM/FM/CD/MP3/Blootoof/AUX....I really like it plus it looks like the rest of the car. If you ever wanted to play a CD, you would have that option.
