Yeah, more and more I am leaning toward replacing the oem amp, even though I wasn't sure at first if I would or not. The reality is that the oem amp with its low power and sound tweaks really limit the system. It could be possible to have a decent sounding system with just an aftermarket amp and a small sub in the trunk and a pair of tweeters. I think the biggest issues are lack of sub bass and proper separation of sound in the upper ranges, beside the amp's deficiencies.

I'm not saying the Jehnert subs aren't great. They sound absolutely lovely and play like an SQ sub, but any system in this car will sound like crap with low quality sound coming from the source. It's like playing that game where one person whispers something to another and that person to another and so on. Eventually you have nonsense. Same thing here just in a much shorter chain. You can have perfect source material, brilliant speakers, but a shitty amp will ruin the chain.

I'm leaning towards the Match PP 82DSP.
