[QUOTE="sfall, post: 8574934, member: 673086"] Looking at your post, you need to make sure you do a quality install, along with buying new components. What I mean by that, is get your power from under the hood and wire everything up with new cables to eliminate any potential issues with the old wiring. From there, I would recommend an overall strategy that focuses on doing one thing right is better than doing a bunch of things half ***. If you want to keep the OE head unit, most amps have speaker level inputs along with standard line level. This allows you to use the powered speaker cables from the OE HU as interconnects. However, I've never done this myself, so I'm hoping that some of the other posters who have, would give their opinions on doing it this way. As for what you should buy, I don't think I know about your situation to make responsible recommendations. Also, if you're OK with having stuff shipped, look at Sonic Electrionix web site. They have a huge selection of budget products that look pretty good. [/QUOTE]
