help me choose
Ok guys, I am going to start upgrading my audio system in stages and need some help on choosing some of the equipment. I listen to all kinds of music from country to rap. I all ready have a pioneer avic z3 for my head unit. My next step is going to be the door speakers. I am going to add sound deadner to the doors and the back wall first then change out the door speakers and amp them. From the reading I've done it sounds like I should run components in the front and coaxial in the rear, but what brand/model do you guys recommend and what amp would you use. I don't want to spend a fortune but I don't want to buy something that is low end stuff either. Thanks for any help.
Oh and when this stage is done I am going to add another amp and run either 1 or 2 10's under the rear seat and deaden the floor. But I'll have to wait till i get the funds for that.

Spend the bulk of your money on amp and front speakers... the rear speakers are just for rear fill. You dont go to a concert and sit backwards do you? I have a cheap set of Arc audio 5x7 coax in the rear locations, but up front I have Mmats 6.5" seperates with the tweets installed in the A piller location... I get awesome imaging/front stage!
As for brands you are likely to get a different answer from every person here... best bet is to go to a few quality car audio retailers and ask and listen. Make a Custom CD of your favorite songs... PICK WHAT YOU LIKE, LISTENING WHAT YOU LIKE TO LISTEN TO!
