stereo upgrade jetta

so, now that i commute i really am starting to notice my stereo eng complete pos...   I want to upgrade for under 500. here's my plan... what i will get http://www.clarion.com/us/en/products/2006/audio/processors/EQS746/us-en-product-pf_1134643389018.html ^^ that is a sound processor, i will only be using my ipod so i figure i wont spend the extra on a HU. the factory HU will be in place, not in use. i have a place to mount this.. Then since i have a jetta i need speakers compatable with 6.75" so i thought the type r component... last years model is like 150 a set.. i will get 2 sets. as for the amp i figure i will just get some alpine AB class 4 channel amp on craigslist. as for the wiring.. i would like to be able to use factory HU as well as the processor.. is this possible?    Please give me suggestions on what can be better.legit o puss

What do you mean by this?

Never mind the factory hu. my question is do i need a hu to use an equalizer. all i want to use is the aux in on the back of the equalizer for my ipod. i never listen to the radio.. will this be too low of a preamp? is this even possible? thanks for reply!legit o puss

yes but i would like to upgrade my whole system.. factory system is shot. as far as the radio connection i would much rather not use one. any cheap hu you know of with preamp outputs?legit o puss

and yes the radio does have outputs but they are not preamp.. they are made to go directly to the speaker.legit o puss
