That sounds great. I have a 92 dakota with some performance mods, and an awsome stereo system. Starting out with the mods. I have the 318 with the jetchip stage 2, Dynomax fully welded exhaust and a nice k&n air filter charging system. For stereo, i have diamond audio 6.5 seperates in the front and in the rear i have a single 12" diamond audio motorsport sub. For amps, i have a orion 500.4 for the seperates and a orion 500 xtr for the sub (puts out about 500 watts constant). thats everything.
