There is a huge difference between a good cd player and a light show. Consider Eclipse, Denon and Nakamichi for this. Good sound ends with good speakers. As we all hear different this is the most subjective part of a system. Consider MB Quart, Focal, Adire, Image Dynamics for good speakers. I would leave out the far rear speakers entirely. Keep it to the front speakers and rear door speakers. Both should fit a oversize 6.5" woofer. Make sure you sound deaden each door and the vehicle if it is your budget. A ringing panel is robbing output in the midbass region from the speaker. Amplify these speakers with between 40-100 watts of power, based on what you have stated, a 50w rms X 4 amplifier should be tons of power. A single 10" or 12" sub in a sealed enclosure would properly round out the system. A subs purpose is to play sound that is beyond the capabilities of the other speakers in the system. The sound is naturally there and needs a driver of this size to accurately reproduce it (in most cases). A amp with about 300w rms of power is tons. MB Quart, Eclipse, Lightning Audio all make great subs that work in small sealed boxes or slighly larger ported boxes. Make sure that the cd player you choose has a subwoofer level control, this way if the sub bass is overbearing, a simple adjustment on the cd player can adequately kick it down to a much more appreciable level, conversly, if it is lacking in response, it may be turned up. This is indipendent of the main volume control. Have a look at the eclipse website and in particular the CD3424, there is probably no need to go any higher up the line in the cd players. <a href="http://www.eclipse-web.com" target="_blank">http://www.eclipse-web.com</a></p></blockquote><p></p>
