I just bought a 2007 2dr automatic GTI, Pkg 1 no leather, with sunroof. With todays technology are all Amps the same other than power rating? I listen to a lot of AM talk radio so I still need good AM reception. When I listen to music I listen to all types except RAP, HOUSE, AND INDUSTRIAL, I do listen to: Bluegrass, Jazz, rock, bagpipes, pipe organ, motown, country, new age, punk, classical... I am trying to decide what amps to go with. I think there are some digital like Alpine. Also a/b, d Should I go aftermarket head unit or stay stock and do I loose or gain features on steering wheel or otherwise. I am not interested in motorcycles flying across the display. I want to be able to read the station time and important stuff in the daytime. I had a Pioneer Premier from a few years ago and it was usless in the day. I have Boston Accoustic Pro 60s I could use(1 set). I also have a Precision Power Art series A404.2, Mb Quart 300watt sub amp, JL audio 300/2 slash 1. Do I need some type of Processor like Clean sweep, 3sixty.2 .... If so which one? One guy said the Rockford 3sixty.2 was a huge pain or impossible to set up(TWEETER installer). I do not want to spend more than my car cost on the stereo. Where should I put the speakers in the doors? build some housing/ structure to put them/ mold them in door? Should I do something about the back speakers or just unplug them and use the fronts. I will buy new equipment if it ends up sounding better and lasting longer/ less problematic and ends up taking up less space. ALL WISDOM APPRECIATED. MAIN THING: QUALITY, AND A LITTLE MORE VOLUME. THANK YOU.
