[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8777231, member: 614752"] OEM source unit may be a weak link regardless of what you put upstream from it. I'm not a big fan of the Alpine Type S lineup but the Rs are quite nice IMO. More importantly is good mounting locations for your front speakers. Sealing and sound deadening locations is critical to give you good midbass and generally speaking just the aiming of them towards your listening position can make a dramatic difference. This can turn into a big job, especially if you try to build custom mounting pods to better aim your speakers so it may be impractical for someone who isn't comfortable with fabrication. I think that will be your biggest hurdle here. The most expensive component speakers put in a poor location will never sound as good as just average speakers in optimum locations. Assuming your amp powers up and provides enough power I would not replace that. There are many reasons you may choose to buy a premium brand amp over a cheap one but you almost certainly won't hear the difference apart from which has more or less power. [/QUOTE]
