What to do with the space below aftermarket head unit?

What to do with the space below aftermarket head unit? I want to put something there but I'm not sure what. Perhaps a CD Changer? Equalizer? What other options do I have?

I have a kenwood flipout screen mounted on the bottom din and I made a light up SCION sign to cover up the top din.

LIGHT SIGN

Sorry I don't know how to put images in my post.

ooh I like this idea. However...would it work with an Eclipse CD-8445 and what does it do for music? I know it's meant for movies...but I'm not quite sure what'ld do for a stereo signal

I split front speaker output on my H/U rcas and sent one pair to the amp for the srk5 center and it sounds awesome....my theory is you can never have enough speakers so 5 more tweeters and 2x1" drivers can never hurt.

no...just needed to adjust gain on amp so that center doesnt overpower the rest of the speakers

How about this...

get an Xbox modded, custom install it in your car, and custom install the Xbox DVD drive in the space below the aftermarket head unit.

...But then you would need a monitor to watch it on....
