Which first? CTX65CS front components or DSC4125 amp?

I will eventually get both as funds allow.

• If I got the speakers, then they'd be powered by a 22w RMS aftermarket HU
  
• If I got the amp, then it'd be powering the stock speakers which have 35w Max stamped on the back of them
  

Thoughts? Or bad idea and just wait and upgrade everything at once?

Eventually this will be my build in an '05 Impreza:

Head Unit Pioneer AVH-P4000DVD

Amp MB 4125 125w to the fronts, 500w to the sub

Fronts CTX65CS 6.5 inch Components

Sub IDQ12V3.D2 12 incher

imo i would purchase the comps first because they were made to be effecient enough to be ran off a HU. that way you 'll have enough time to get the amp and wireing.

Groovy, yeah, I'll also need to get spacers and mat/decoupler so I'm probably looking at $250 for speakers and supporting stuff.

I may just say screw it and get both and deal with the fallout from the DW //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/up2something.gif.dd110ecf3ae4b76050d87598f2f8de7c.gif
