[QUOTE="keep_hope_alive, post: 7824301, member: 576029"] note your head unit replacement starts with the GMOS adapter - so keep $100 of your budget free to buy that adapter so you interface with the Class II Data Bus. i strongly advise against coaxial in the front doors. get a comp set for the front, locate tweeters in the stock locations - modify as mentioned above. I agree with the TSD component recommendation as well. Don't skimp on front speakers if you like music. factory sat won't work with aftermarket. you'll need the aftermarket adapter/receiver and the aftermarket antenna to mate with the new HU. reusing the factory antenna is unlikely, but you can try it. The power handling is 60W RMS. that is the only number that matters. ignore peak power ratings. Any decent 4 channel amp is fine. 50W RMS x4 @4 ohms is enough. 75W RMS x4 @4 ohms is even better. Budget $200 for the amp. [/QUOTE]
