Now I have used search and dabbled in some of the other threads but car audio seems to be a black art to me.

I want to upgrade the car speakers both in the dash and in the doors. I have a premium infinity audio system In my genesis. There are 10 speakers and a deck mounted 8" sub and the sound quality is very good. Maybe even excellent but I haven't heard many other systems so I am sure there are better out there.

Mainly I listen to jazz music and classical music with a lot of instrumentation. I want maximum clarify of sound above bass or being able to feel the car shake. The thing is most people seem to want a "powerful" audio system but what I am looking for is crisp sound over power.

I know the stock speakers can only do 2 ohms. i know that 4 is better but not sure why.

I know its best to replace the stock amplifier asap to improve sound quality but don't really understand why that makes a difference either.

But my main question is how much do I have to spend to get and equivalent or better audio system than what is in my genesis currently. I definitely want to do door and dash speakers but do I have to do rears? and how much should a "good" amp run me for what I am looking to do?

I am looking for ball park price quotes as well as a general idea of the different components I will need to purchase to make it possible. And what I could possibly omit like maybe rear speakers.

for now lets just assume i will use stock head unit. Though I hope to get a pioneer next deck sometime soon.
