[QUOTE="crow, post: 2153113, member: 568415"] I can't help you much with your decision. The only brand listed I have experience with is JL but not the XRs What sounds good to someone else may not be as much to your liking. If you can't audition them before you buy, my suggestion is to pick the one that fits your budget and make sure you spend the time on the install and do it right. All of the brands you list have a reputation for making quality products. Running a good set of components up front with a well matched amp, you may find that upgrading the rear fill is not necessary. Some will add some aftermarket coaxials or leave the stock rear speakers on the head unit. Some will disconnect the rear speakers altogether. Opinions vary on this but consider upgrading the front stage and listen for a while and see if you like it. I am not aware of any head unit that allows you to bridge the internal amp. For an amplifier, your best bet is to select what speakers you plan to install and then select an amp to match them. If you are happy with the MTX and it is a good match to the speakers you pick, I'd keep it and use it. I try not to get too caught up in brand names. You may find that many of the more mainstream companies make some pretty nice stuff. You don't necessarily have to run the most exotic or rare equipment to get a great system. [/QUOTE]
