Hey guys,

I need your help in deciding on what to purchase in redoing my car audio system.

I want to do my research and make an informative decision before I shell out any money and I want to do this right the first time and not regret it down the road.

In my situation i have a 2004 accord ex with an aftermarket HU and a sub.

I have a panasonic cq-5301u HU avail,
RF p200,2 2ch amp
Kicker kx200.2 2ch amp
6x9 alpine type s
kenwood kac 729s
alpine mrp-m450
12" pioneer ts-w306c

As you can see my stuff is pretty old and outdated. So I want to re build my system for this xmas break.

My plan ... Keep the alpine 6x9 for the rear stage since its not really relevent to the drive when hearing stuff from behind.

But I want a decent set of components up front and properly powered.

So I am getting a 6.5" component set up front... my current choices are;
https://www......com/item_...e+SPR-17S.html
or
https://www......com/item_...r+T1652-S.html

Which is the alpine type r SPr17s
or
RF power T1652S
(or anything on that site around that price range)

Okay so that gets my components covered!
Now time for amps ...

Either I use my current amps and power my speakers or should i get a 4ch amp? 4ch amp would really jack my price up for a decent one, so my other option is this 4ch RF Prime p300-4
https://www......com/item_19566_Rockford+Fosgate+PRIME+R300-4.html

but the thing is that hte PRIME models are a bit more lower end than my 2ch PUNCH line. Should I just keep my punch one for my front components ? and my kickers for the rear? Or should I get a different 2ch amp and power the components to their full potential ? Too many decisions :(

And one last thing, my HU is pretty old, I wouldnt mind updating it, but im a bit out of the loop for car audio.

Is there any SINGLE DIN HU you would recommend or a specific brand?
What brands are on the higher end now? Any suggestions are welcomed :)

Thanks in advance guys
