DVD,MP3,WMA (basically plays anything u put in it or around it ) 18 Band EQ 7" Tv (SEE SIG) 1200 Sony explode amp (Yes i know i know) and stock everything on the inside i would like peoples preferences and experiences with certain products cause i plan on doing this next month and selling my old system if i find some good leads...

well basically the amped speakers will give you better midbass and better highs
yeah, definately layout a budget before you start anything. Because you could always reuse your subs in new boxes to save money.
I would amp speakers if your budget can manage it.

you dont want coaxial speakers, you want component speakers. CDT Audio, MB Quart, Focal, a/d/*/, Crystal, Dynaudio, Imade Dynamics, JL Audio, Seas, Diamond Audio, Peerless, Vifa and Rainbow should all be checked out
amps: Phoenix Gold, Avionixx, Crossfire, Eclipse, JBL, Orion, Lanzar, PrecisionPower, US Amps
for rear fill, personally i would just toss in a pair of 4" coaxials and be done with it. just run them off the head unit internal amp. otherwise, pick anything you want because the component speakers will be doig most of the work
subs: CDT Audio, Image Dynamics, Resonant Engineering, Audiomobile, Treo, Diamond Audio, Digital Designs, Eclipse, Dayton, Infinity, JL Audio, Orion, Phoenix Gold, OZ Audio
do your homework
