Installation will be taken care of by a buddy of mines, so at the moment I'm projecting to be on budget with 1 amp, and with the 2nd amp ill be at a reasonable amount...
now the speakers i got in there right now will do, not looking to replace those just yet, but will do within the next couple of months.
if someone could suggest a good amp to run this all (and crossover if the one on the head unit is insufficient) then i think i will be in good shape. kinda wanting to go pioneer with the amp, but not sure how good they are. at the moment i can get pioneer, jvc, and jbl/harmon at dealer cost so sticking with those brands would be ideal, however if something is well worth the price i won't count it out.
please keep in mind, I'm not building a sound system for a show car, its my daily beater, but if i could get the sound in it on par with/or better then the stock system in my x3 then ill be happy.
Thanks all for the help so far.
