i'm upgrading the stock system with a sony xplod 5channel amp that puts out 60w per channel plus 150w for a subwoofer. i'm planning on replacing the rear speakers, but what about the fronts? any chance i'll be happy with them with an amp and new rear speakers, or should i just have the installer do them at the same time? i hoped to avoid them mostly to avoid having the door panels removed (more chances for rattles etc). thanks for your .02

Im planning to replace all the speakers, and get a the sony Amp below that one...and run one sub in the back(12")...Im not replacing the head unit cuz I like that red stealth look...If you have the funds, also get Dynamat, I've been told it works. JL also makes a stealth box but its hella expensive. Probably worth it though...if you have a 2001 you have to mod your truck Im told...Some one has a page up with all these mods to his system, I think its MarkP...anyhow thats my .02

The door panels secure rather tightly to the doorframe via a series of integrated grooves, guides, and three screws. You run a far greater chance of rattling after a rear-deck upgrade, especially if the installer doesn't use foam gasketing for the mounts of the new drivers.

Additionally, when was the last time you went to a concert and the band was playing -behind- you?

I'd upgrade front, leave rear stock, add a sub and proper amplification. You'll be far happier.
