[QUOTE="happy4ya, post: 8674512, member: 677016"] If I replace the USA 2200 with a new class D amp I can definitely keep the amp(s) mounted under the seats whether I do separate amps or just a single 5 channel amp as they are so small they will easily fit under the front seats. And I can just make a quick disconnect for the sub box. So the sub end will be easier to figure out. I'm more concerned with suggestions for the front speaker setup. One shop told me to do components and put the tweeters up where the 3.5's were on the dash, but I feel like they will be spread too far apart and not sound right. Another shop agreed with me on that and said the other guy was wrong, and suggested some of the higher end Alpine coaxial 6x9's in the doors and any decent pair of 3.5's to replace the cheesy stock speakers, and another one said to do components in the front doors and just forget about the 3.5's in the dash altogether. There are just so many speakers out there to choose from, and no way to listen to most of them without buying them and trying them out. And so many setup options. I'm just trying to get ideas so I can hopefully do this once and be happy with the result. I'm not opposed to spending more on better speakers, but is spending double, even triple necessary? I was told that most of the $150 and less priced speakers are all entry-level and just slightly better replacements for stock speakers and will not sound anywhere near as good as the recommended ones (Alpine R-Series) which were closer to $300 per pair.
