Found one of these units local. That is good.

Just starting to get into auto sound, I could use an opinion/advice. I first came across the 800PRS when looking for a replacement for my 2001 Civic that had the best AM/FM sensitivity as I live in the sticks with very marginal radio reception. Can be done, but you need good equip (ex. at home, tall antenna tower, good Yagi, Magnum Dynalab equip). A bud had an earlier Premier and it bettered anything that I had heard to date. And now to boot, I find that this (800PRS) is a very capable unit.

As I'm just starting out, the HU was 'the' thing. Installer is recommending some primo speakers to go with this unit. I was thinking at most to perhaps install some decent coax in the front, later transferring those to the rear if I ever upgrade. And at this point, I ask for your opinion/recommendation on that whole strategy. If I wanted to part with $$$, certainly can offer component system to match. But I'd like to keep this relatively cheap for the next while.
