Default Which components for my new S2K?

i recently bought an '03 and want to change the stereo around. I'm thinking of just adding some new components for now because I don't want to lose the functions of my external audio buttons. Which components do you recommend? Money is NO object I just want the best sounding, clear audio available. I was thinking of getting the PIONEER TS-C160R but I'm not sure if they will fit. Anyone have any ideas?

PEACE

I would highly recommend getting an amp if you're going to get a component set. The stock HU just doesn't have the juice to push a nice set of componets.

Which amp should I go with? I want to keep the amp and components the same brand. I want everything to flow. Got me?

i have a set of diamond audio hex in my car and love them!

i would also have to agree that MB quartz are great speakers, just make sure you have an amp to get the most out of the speakers!

Alpine-SPX. 6.5" in the doors and 5" in the rears. Thats what I did. They fit great into the stock locations with a little help.
Example:


Here's a pic of the woofer and tweeter set up. The crossovers will be mounted in the trunk, but thats not finished yet.






They fit great! you will need to trim the back off the basket that the stock door speakers sit in. Very easy to do with a dremel type tool.
