[QUOTE="MakeItGoBANG, post: 7428992, member: 635053"] Amplifier installation is more complicated than replacig speakers. You have to attach a power wire (with fuse) to your battery and run that to the location you are going to put your amp (usually in the trunk or under a seat). Then you'll need to create a ground for the amp near the install location. Then, you'll have to run an RCA cable from your head unit to the amplifier which means you have to pull your radio out of the dash to get to the outputs in back. Finally, connect the speakers to the amplifier using speaker wire. On that budget I highly recommend you just get some 2-way speakers of appropriate size and try to get at least 75w rms since your HU is probably pushing 50. If you go used as suggested your options open up considerably. I would also recommend focusing on either rear or front. I feel you'll be better off with one set of quality speakers paired with factories than with 4 new low quality speakers. [/QUOTE]
