[QUOTE="dsw1204, post: 8524622, member: 663807"] First of all, the 80PRS is an excellent head unit. However, it is a little difficult to learn to use. And, if you are not going to go active, I'd recommend the Alpine CDE-HD148BT. It is much easier to navigate, gives you HD radio built in, has built-in bluetooth, has 24 bit DAC's, and looks very sharp. Again, that's if you are not going to go active. That NVX amp should do you very nice. I've read many times on this forum where people liked that amp. It should give you plenty of power and seems to be a pretty flexible amp. Now, regarding the front stage...yes, there's a big difference between the $100 sets and the $300 sets. My recommendation is the Morel Tempo Ultra 602 two-way components. Earlier this year, I purchased a set and WOW, what an increase in SQ. These things rock! I was comparing them to an equivalently priced Focals and I thought the Focals were just too harsh. The Morel Tempo Ultras high end was much more smoother. I can listen to my music for hours on end, at pretty loud volume, and not get ear fatigue. And, when I am done listening to them and turn my system off, my ears are NOT ringing. Don't think that would be the case with the Focals. The biggest surprise with the Morels was the bass response. Oh my God, these almost sound as if I am using a sub (which I am not). Now, I did, also, sound deaden the doors, which I am sure helped here. But, the overall tonal balance, imaging, crispness of the sound is amazing. These are the best addition to my car audio system. I love listening to my music loud with these things. But, don't take my word for it. Google search "Morel Tempo Ultra 602 review" and you will find a build log on diymobilaudio.com using these speakers. Check it out. The guy talks a lot about them. You can get these speakers for about $265 on Ebay. That's where I bought mine. They came from Israel, which is where Morel is headquartered. I was a little concerned about authenticity, so I called Morel's US headquarters and they told me to send them a pic of the box (with serial number on the box) and a pic of the back of the midbass driver. I did and they responded saying they were authentic. [/QUOTE]
