I'm trying to see about a several step approach to improving the stereo, thinking install the Alpine kit, stop there if it's good enough but if I wanted to go further install the MS8.
Thanks for any answers.
IMO, use the money for the Alpine upgrade (some $400 at the cheapest place in Denmark, of all places) and buy a set of Rainbows components for the doors and a pair of Kicker SSMB8 as woofers. Invest an extra $200 in the Individual Audio OEM coaxial center speaker, dash grille and tweeter pods. Then use the MS-8 built in amps to drive all your speakers.

That should be enough to impress you.
