Okay, I have been researching car audio all day, and I am quite impressed with the level of engineering in these setups. The learning curve is steeper than I thought, but I think that I am catching up.

At this point, what I am looking for are $400ish step-upgrades that I can make every few months to keep building out my sound system to the point where I have a full active setup.


After a bit of reading, I am thinking that upgrading the factory amp to a 4 channel one might be a good first step - along with replacing the 6.5's in the doors. Any advice on selecting speakers, amps, wiring, etc?


I figure that will leave me room to remove the back 4" speakers and power the front components/tweeters with the remaining 2 channels from the amp. Is this setup possible with the stock head unit?


Some notes: I want to retain an OEM look to the system. Keeping the oem grill on the front component/tweeters is a must. I also will probably dynamat the car while I have everything teared up.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
