Ok, Im not much of an audio nut myself but my experience tells me:

1. That Kenwood would be good for $200 but for a bit more i'd look at the JVC range...loads of choices, value for money and the setup is wicked, Epsilon are also a quiet achiever...

2. Speakers, those bostons you got are right on the money if you like mid/ high like me...

3. Pioneer have an awesome range of shallow mounted subs and they are pretty dam accurate to...especially in th right enclosure mind you...

4. DO NOT RUN YOUR FRONT SPEAKERS OFF THE H/U!!! It would be a waste to buy Bostons with an nominal rating of 75w and run them off a H/U with 18w RMS...Id go with a 4 channel if you are running the sub use the front 2 channels to run the speakers and bridge the 2 rear ones for the sub...id probably go for an amp that has around 400-500w RMS output...plz also choose a reliable brand or your system will suffer....

Chers,
John

P.S. I also agree with the Soundstreams. Bought them from Autobarn because they were "The Best" and never liked them after that...you live, you learn...
