Should I switch out the Orions for a single JL? It's a bit more expensive but is it going to be that much more worth it?

seperate amps for each channel is the way to go if you are going audiophile. But with the headunit you have i wouldnt waste my time with orion or jl amps. Audison, Xtant, McIntosh Zapco etc are the brands you want to be looking at

Yesterday morning I placed another order and am going to refuse/return the orion/rockford

136G4500 JL Audio G Series G4500 80W x 4 Car Amplifier
13610W1V24 JL Audio 10W1v2-4 10" 4-ohm Component

I also removed the door panel and found out the speakers I have are actually - the SPX - 177R Alpine speakers

I realize the HU is very nice, didn't realize it's at the McIntosh level. Certainly something I will consider, but for now I just need to get something in there cause the current speakers are underpowered and I'm afraid of them getting damaged.
