1) listen to them yourself... join TTs, listen to them palying your favourite and most faniliar tunes...

2) good aftermarket speakers will always be better than the stock speakers... so as the HU... so which ever you choose from tht list would sound better than the stocks...

since you are planning to get an amp later then choose the best one for you... better than buy a set now which is best powered by your HU and buy another one later which is best powered by your amp...

ICE when you are one step wrong its hard for you to turn back... especially when you are on tight budget...

cheers...

make sure you audit them in a car... cuz auditing in a room and in a car makes a lot of difference... jus bear tht in mind... when auditing new component set... make sure it has been run-in and in side a car... like tht then you can know the real characteristics of the things you buy...

cheers...
