What should I buy?

Here's the situation:

2 Nights ago my car was broken into. They stole my iPOD Video, my radio's faceplate, and broke my window.

That same night before that happened, I order brand new JL XR650CSi component speakers because I was planning on upgrading my system that week.

I've got $240 in my bank right now. Next week, my work paycheck will add an additional $200 or more to my bank account. I've got buy to my head unit's faceplate so that will be around $100.

Right now I'm very confused on what to buy FIRST, so I decided to ask for help. Obviously I need to buy my faceplate first so I can actually hear music. But other than that, what should I get?

Here are my choices:

1) Get an amplifer and install my components and amplifer so I will have amplified front components. Already bought my components and they're just sitting there. Amplifer is like $200 for the one I want and installation is like $200 for both.

2) Same as choice #1, but also get a subwoofer.

3) Get a remote start + alarm + keyless entry system, like $500 value. This would protect my car from any future thefts. Although I plan to park in my garage from now on.

4) Get an iPOD video first before anything else. I usually use my iPOD a lot, especially during school and I love having the option of picking which song I like in the car.

I plan on getting ALL of these bought eventaully, I just don't have the money yet. So I have to gradually buy everything one by one. Right now I'm leaning towards getting thta amplifer and amplifying my speakers and then buying an iPOD, and then buying the alarm, and then buying the subwoofer. But I'm not sure yet, thats why I'm asking you guys haha

I don't think the alarm would prevent any and all future thefts. It would prevent someone from stealing the car itself, but smash-and-grab burglars have a LOT of nerve these days. And let's face it, what's the first thing you do when you hear a car alarm going off that's not yours? Run over and try to thwart the robbery in progress? No, people ignore it or even complain about the noise. So even with an alarm, the burglar probably still has 20-30 seconds before they get a headache!

It sounds like the iPod is the most important and useful thing to you, so I'd start there.
