Default New audio system? Please anyone who as done that need your input! :)

I am looking to upgrade the audio system in my car while it is apart, I don't want to go ape **** and I don't want any crazy bass... what I do want:

First off this is going with a RNS-E so it has to work with it.

6 New speakers, very high quality with better mids/highs/lows than stock

1 or 2 AMPs, lightweight if possible, nice clean power, maybe 70w RMS at most.

Stock Mounting Locations are a MUST

So here is what I am thinking.

Delete stock amp and speakers all together. Get signal from RNS-E (how do I do that?) and put a nice AMP in the location of the stock amp.

4x65RMS would be nice.

Then put components in the front (5.25 with 1.75" tweeters??) no clue about what to put up there.

New Components or coaxial speakers in the rear (6.5" with built in tweeters?) No clue again

New mid/subs in the rear deck (image dynamics 6.5" woofers?) No clue here again.

I need to know what to do, what mounting brackets I need, and how to make it as clean as possible. My entire interior is out of the car, all seats, carpet, door cards, etc, so now is the time.

What have you guys done?

So basically looking to replace all 6 speakers, new amps, and increase SQ while adding a little more bass, but nothign crazy.

Ideas please. I have STFA and I can't find anything consistant or anything that I want to do, especially with RNS-E

Thanks!

I recommend a visit to the S4 forum (if you already haven't) and the audio forum as well.
