I'd buy this before either of those kenwoods. Now you need to find some better speakers, too. The ones you have picked are probably SLIGHTLY better than the stockers.

In my opinion, you should nix the rear speakers, and double your budget on your front set. Gimme a $$ amount, and I'll get you a few recommendations.

Thanks for your input, the diamond product looks good. So the tweet would go in the dash or you recommend to install on the speaker?

up to you, really, but without processing abilities, I would want them close to the woofer....

Ah, I see, so leave the stock in the dash, and combine the tweet and woofer to replace the stock in the door panel.
