[QUOTE="potvin, post: 8378396, member: 665684"] My suggestion to you is to do something like I have mostly done in the past. Build your system by hunting around for good deals on old school stuff. The old school stuff for the most part is better anyways. I used to buy whole systems for about 5-600 bucks. If you are keeping that headunit, just do what the other fella said here and go ahead and buy some cheaper front components. They will be a decent upgrade to factory speakers. You can run them off of the deck I am assuming, hence eliminating the need for another additional amplifier. Although, you will need one definitely for the sub. Your components will come with their own passive crossovers so you will just need to have an active crossover for your bass speaker on your bass amplifier. If you buy one set of components, one subwoofer in the box, and one amplifier, you should be easily able to accomplish this if you buy some good used older stuff. Just try to get stuff that might not be cosmetically perfect while ensuring the functionality is good. My only concern is that your sub might overpower your front speakers without any amp. Other than that you can easily do it. [/QUOTE]
