Thanks for the responses. It's been a long weekend, but I think I've got it sorted out. Friday AM I got a call from my Clarion buddy. He says since I'm looking at changers too, I should step up in the HU area to one with CeNet (9675?) for a bit more money, but then he can make me a "human factors" test person on his CD Changer program. So for the same money, I'll get a top of the line head, and a changer on loan for 3-4 years at which time they'll want it back to take it apart and see how it faired in my car.
To this point I was largely basing my purchase on my retro check for my 2001 raise. Well, Friday afternoon I got my "raise" and just about quit my job. After cooling down, I decided to just look for a new job, but to take their money if they want to keep giving it to me. So then I wasn't sure about the HU, but after thinking about it some more, I can still afford to get it.
As for the speakers, the separates won't fit up front nicely and I'll need to replace my rear deck when I pull them out (other guy put holes in the deck for the tweats) In the long run, my Clarion guy can get me some great deals on their Pro Audio speakers. He said they have a real nice plate speaker that will work nicely in the back, and I think I'd get 6.5 sep's up front with smaller tweaters that I can put on that little triangle inside the mirror. Not sure what I'll do with the Nak amp; gotta get the model number off it and find out if it's any good. The previous owner just told me it was 40x4 rms.
So I'll be reading for a while, but I'll give ya'll a report when I get the Clarion head and changer in with 3 separate RCA's to the back. Thanks for the pointers!
