[QUOTE="fithwheel, post: 8683740, member: 674179"] Certainly eliminating some speakers would be ideal. Really just need 5 channels total. 2 for highs 2 for mids 1 for a sub. A good aftermarket hu will have 6 channel pre outs for amplification. A 5 channel amp or a 4 channel amp and a mono amp is all you need. As long as the stock hu isn't too integrated with the car and can easily be changed with a good aftermarket hu probably get you the best affordable results. Unfortunately it all cost a bit. It'll depend on what you want out of out of the hu on how much but there are some pretty good amplifiers and speakers on the market that are reasonable. I'd prep your doors in the meantime. You'd probably be surprised what sealing off the holes in the door panels and directing the sound into the car,instead of being lost in the door panel, will do for the sound of the factory speakers. Car doors are less than ideal for a speaker enclosure. [/QUOTE]
