Whats most important to you? Bass? Sound quality?
So far what I've done is this:
Ultimate brand front speakers - $100
Lucid's harness for rear speakers/mounting brackets - $100
JL 12 W0 Sub in custom box from group buy - $500
Xtant amp - $350
Misc wiring/connectors - $150
$1200 total
I want to upgrade my head unit to aftermarket, move my Ultimate speakers to behind the seats, and then add in component speakers up front, and I think then I'll be happy... but that'll be after another $1200 I'm sure

I would get a powered head unit, new front component speakers, and put the front speakers in the rear. $750 shouldn't be a problem if you do the installation yourself.

Strictly an example:
Alpine CDM9803 head unit $299.00
Kenwood KFC-1679IE co-axial speakers (you don't want components - I forgot you have a MY00) $99.99
Lucid's DCI to keep your dash controls $150 or so?
Wire, etc. $50?
Total if you install it yourself: about $600
If you want to spend the $750, get better speakers than the Kenwoods.
