I appreciate your extensive knowledge.

Which amp should I consider? Moderate price and ease of installation are factors.

Many thanks,

This MTX amp is pretty good: http://www.cardomain.com/item/MTX404 Your factory speakers won't last long on it though.

Do you know how many speakers you have and if one or two of them are subwoofers? I'm assuming you have ten as that was the premium in 90' and that's what your vehicle seems to resemble. If that's so, it would be mid and tweets in the rear (4), and low, mid, high in the fronts (6) that is configured to work from a 4 channel amp with passive crossovers built in the speakers. If that's so, any decent 4 channel amp with 35 to 50 watts per channel would work fine. Having a high pass crossover for the rear channels would be nice also but not required. I don't recommend product as what I like the next Joe may not. Your best bet is to go into a local shop that carries 4 channel amps that are hooked up on display so you can hear the difference yourself and judge.

Let me add. If you get a 5 channel amp you can power the factory speakers with 4 channels and install a sub like one ten and have it powered by the fifth channel and high pass the factory speakers. That would best as it would not only sound better by adding low end, but most 5 channel amps have filters built in so you could high pass your factory speakers to make them safer from blowing. The only downside is cost.
