Default Speaker setup help!!

okay im a noob with this stuff. i just got the 08 tC and i want to switch the whole system. I could use some suggestions cause i wanna switch the 2 speakers in the front, the 2 in the rear and i wanna put 2 subs in. Suggestions for that and amp/amps i should use to power this, and wire kits i may need, and anything else i should know before getting into this. My budget for all of this would be around 700-800$.

Thank You!!!

first thing would be is to change out the HU. Personal prefference i would go with Alpine. I would also leave the rear speakers as-is and put a set of components up front. You'll thank us later. ElementalDesigns.com has all the things you want!

yeah ive been readin that every1 says to leave rear speakers...and it seems that the power of an amp isnt all about the watts. cause there will be more expensive ones with less watts. how should i chose which amps are best.

i would say go with 2 amps, 1 for the subs and 1 for the front components. Also im suggesting a single 12" sub instead of the 2 subs, just my opinion. I would want some space in the trunk.

A 13Ov.2 will be nice

with a Nine.2x to power it...

buying all this in package builder can save you some money and should turn out around $600. This would be my setup.

the setup yanki created is sick...but then id have to pay for all the wires needed to hook all this up...around how much would that add to the price?

also if u had to recommend any double-din stereo/HU type thing...what would it be?
