[QUOTE="esseven, post: 372906, member: 552370"] I'm going to disagree with conartist for nothing more than for sake of argument... J/K [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif[/IMG] I don't believe that replacing your deck is the wisest use of your money right now. Although the audio signal starts in the deck, it has a rather low priority when you consider what affects the sound the most. My money? Look for a good 4 channel amp. If you like the way your speakers sound now, they will sound better with an amp, you can cross them over to prevent high volume distortion, and you are all setup to run a sub off the rear channels when you get extra "fundage"... Too bad you didn't post this a week or two ago when I sold my old ESX Q1204 for about what you have. 120 watts per channel and 400 bridged... Nice amp for a simple or even more complex system... Amp suggestions? I don't know what you can get for that money, but maybe an MTX 6304 off eBay? You'll have to look around, I'd look for 75+ watts per channel so you have enough power (250+ watts) to run a sub later. I don't really like the Profile amps, but they are ok enough for a starter amp... [/QUOTE]
