Check for a vacuum leak and check the timing . And check if all cylinders are firing correctly .
Another area to check especially if you already exhausted all the typical intake, fuel, spark issues are you starving the electrical system for power. As you come to a stop the engine has to rely on less electrical since the alternator is now not putting out to full capacity. The battery is in that loop and helps balance power. The installation of a larger sound system can require more power and there-by robbing the engine of needed voltage. (Typically the added system is connected directly to the battery)Example: 1999 Nissan Maxima with a sub woofer added to the sound system will cause the car to stall at idle if the volume range is set too high.Theres been a lots of unnecessary engine parts changed out chasing a stalling problem. The mechanic drives the car trying to simulate the problem, but doesn't think to turn the sound system up to max.
