got comps, need 2 din monitor + amp. opinions?

http://cdtaudio.com/m6_midbase_driver.htm

well i caught a great deal on some cdt HD-62/M6. now i need to go ahead and finish up the system. i need a hu and an amp.

i've never been huge on jl audio (good quality but pricey) but i am really considering the 450/4 wired as in the article in the link above. any other QUALITY 4 channel amps that i should be considering w/ similar power ratings (~200w 1/2,~100w 3/4)?

for an hu i want a double din w/ a monitor. navigation is not that important to me. after researching a bit a have decided that the avic d3 isn't the way to go. my other choice was an eclipse 5510 (maybe a 5500), until i found out a lil bit about the JVC KW-AVX800. the stats look great, but i'm not sure about the quality. found a few reviews but i'm not completely convinced. what do yall think?

hu comparison

might do an ib door install. other than that i'll just be runnin a set of pioneer 3 way 6x9 off the hu for rear fill. no sub. i'm not against paying for the best, but the cheaper stuff is an option especially considering the limited features i plan on using (no nav, x over at amp, 1 video out... simple stuff). thanks in advance.

Paying for the best... is subjective.

If you get the j/l for a good deal its worth it. If not find something that costs 1/2 as much and sounds just as good.

i just perfer to stick to the reputable brands even if i'm getting the lower end of their line (especially in this case where simplicity is the key). the thing i like about the jl is the power and x over is almost perfectly matched to the speakers. i don't know a lot about multi-channels amps because i've never built a system like this before. feel free to make some high end reccomendations.

no budget.

for the hu the quality has to be good, and features basic. i'm really just looking for a dvd/cd unit w/o nav. i like the idea of having usb, sd, etc. connections in case i ever want to add a hd. high volt preouts are a must. the more i look at the jvc the more i think its at least worth checkin out unless someone can specically say don't

on the amp it would have to be better matched than the jl as well as higher quality.
