My friend has an SRT-4 and he's replacing the front speakers, amping them, and installing a new head-unit. We went through the sonicelectronix site, and judging from his budget, came up with these choices.
Head Unit
Eclipse CD5100

Panasonic CQ-C800U

Speakers
JBL P660C 6.5's

Polk Audio DB 6.5's

4 Channel Amp (he's getting rear speakers at a later point)
Hifonics ZXi 6406

Hifonics ZXi 4408
http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_12202_Hifonics+ZXi+4408.html#
For the amps, is it worth it waiting for the 6406 to get in stock? It seems like it's a more powerful amp and a nicer model.
What are you suggestions between these options, or suggest others if you can think of any. Ideally, under $250 for the deck, under $150 for the speakers, and under $150 for the amp.
Thanks,
Amir
