[QUOTE="fatboytyler, post: 8426088, member: 658624"] 1.) I would check out a few things from CDT, or their budget friendly MX Design series which are $250-$325. They're great quality and there are two dealers on here and various websites. I run CDT (mine are out of your price range), but I love them. If you're just looking for any upgrade, Kicker, Alpine, etc. have decent stuff, but can be a bit pricey comparatively speaking. As for amps, Sundown has beastly 2 and 4 channel amps. But there are numerous ones. Sundown, Crescendo, SoundQubed, DC, DD, to name a few. 2.) I personally don't run rear speakers, but that is due to my setup. If you do run front components you'll nneed to measure the bottom speaker to see if its 5.25", 6.5" or 6.7" and check if the tweeter is 1 or 2". If you want something in the rear, get something that is actually a Mid Bass speaker. Sundown has some, CDT does, there are numerous ones. That will had significant cost though. As for 2 channel Vs. 4 Channel its really debatable. If you're just running front speakers a 2 channel should do fine. I personally have a 4 channel bridged but I needed more power and have no money for a bigger 2 channel. OR you could get a beefy 4 channel and run the front speakers on channels 1/2 and the mid bass on 3/4 or bridge 3/4. [/QUOTE]
