[QUOTE="Firewalker, post: 8763512, member: 676743"] If you can't afford a 4 channel amplifier I would be saving up some more because in order to really get what you want out of that vehicle you should do it otherwise you will end up being disappointed and going to add it in anyways. Personally I am not impressed with that lower Hertz stuff. Sounds too harsh to me when playing. And Kicker nope and especially not a 2-way setup. You really want components for up front with them running off a 4 channel amplifier and the rears something simple running off the head unit. As long as you don't want to play CD's it looks decent with a 6 channel 5 volt RCA setup on it. Personally I would step it up a notch or two and spend some extra money on it to get some better voltage RCA's out of it as well. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.crutchfield.com/p_113KMX704/Kenwood-Excelon-KMM-X704.html?tp=5684[/URL] Also check out Sonicelectronix as well when buying a deck from them they send you free install stuff as well and any speakers you buy sometimes they throw in the adapters as well. I would also put Metra or Stinger 9 Wire on your list 25-40 dollars for when you do a 4 channel amplifier. You can run it right back to the aftermarket harness and instead of those speaker wires going to the head unit they go to the stinger/metra 9 wire and also have a remote turn on wire as well. If you send me a DM I can look up some stuff tomorrow night when I am not busy and you can get some choices and see what others think. Just need to know the actual budget as as we said 400-500 is going to be really tight for what you want to do. I would also consider a used amplifier and head unit as options. [/QUOTE]
