[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8790358, member: 614752"] Don't bother with the rears and consider something like this for the fronts: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.mx-designs.com/3way/mx3693.php[/URL] IIRC those Pioneer amps have been considered "budget gems" for a while, not sure what the price is or if your employee discount helps but they should make around rated power and be of reasonably good quality. You could probably get away with a 4 channel amp powering the 3 way fronts and CH1 and CH2 and ch3+4 bridged to a sub. If you're adding an amp and have a good head unit I'd avoid one of those all-in-one amp+sub combo kits and buy a separate sub sized appropriately to whichever amp you pick. I've also had really good results with Sony head units so you're at least off to a good start there I think. I certainly wouldn't go to Best Buy if I wanted to win competitions or do something custom but to do a simple head unit + amp/subs/replace door speakers there's good odds the installer there has done more of those than some meme custom shop AND Best Buy has deep enough pockets to make you whole if some rookie ***** your car up.
