[QUOTE="MikeATL, post: 4603581, member: 589013"] I would plan on an amp as well for your main stage. I went the same route you're looking at and bought a new HU and components & 6x9s powered off the HU --> amp powering components & 6x9s in rear --> added a substage w/another amp. I wasn't happy at all w/the way things sounded off the HU. When you're shelling out that much for speakers and a nice head unit give them what they need to shine. Getting a nice set of comps and a (2 or 4 - depending on if you want to drive your rears) channel amp for $250 that's 75X4 or better will be a challenge but doable. I spent about $350 on my main stage amp and front comps, and that doesn't count wiring and deadening (which I'd highly recommend). If you're tight on budget, FlipX99's advice is pretty good. I would add to that to spend a couple of weeks on here doing research before you spend a dime and figure out what you want long term. There's a phenominal amount of knowledge here that's free for the taking! [/QUOTE]
