[QUOTE="phenryiv1, post: 2704134, member: 572008"] Get the best LOC that you can- most likely it will run you close to $100 for one that works with what I assume is the Infinity OEM system and has at least 4 channels of output for future expansion. To this, I would take the 2 rear channels and use them to add an amp and sub. If you plan to add multiple amps, then get your dedicated sub amp at this time, OR get an amp that you can use for the sub now, and then move it to front stage later and upgrade the dedicated sub amp as budget allows. When you do this phase 2 upgrade, upgrade your front stage speakers and either move the old amp to the fronts or get a new amp to run the fronts. I'd leave the rears in place, since if you have the Infinity system they are notorious for being a PITA to use aftermarket speakers with the OEM amplification. If you decide to move forward, phase 3 would be a new HU (at that point you will lose your steering wheel controls, etc, if you have them) and the option of replacing your rear speakers and running them directly off of the HU. You could also get a PAC adapter (if available) to retain your steering wheel controls with the new HU. [/QUOTE]
