mark and I were already talking about what to do, but thanks anyways...
Do you plan on upgrading the speakers? I have been debating on if I should get a set of components for the S40 or not. I am thinking of going with something from either MB Quartz or Focal...

those would be good if you got an amp...better to just go coaxials if you're going to stay powered off a deck...

Well I actually have my 5 channel amp still that I took outta the camaro. So running everything through an amp is definitely an option.

What are rough ideas of prices? I believe I have 5.25" in the S40 all the way around.

QSD's are probably 600 for the set if you can find them that cheap. They range from 600 to 1000 for a pair.
Ouch. Maybe I will stick with coaxials and just run them right off my amp like I had in the camaro. Those MB Quartz sounded real good.

well you DONT have to get totally high end... the MB Quart PCE-213's should be pritty decent if your not looking to give up an arm for components, theyre areound $250 on flea-bay. The Alpine Type X SPX-137R is also a nice choice, they have a really versitile crossover... they run around $200
