Hi, i wanna change the sound system in my Toyota Aurion.

The gears that i have:
1 pair component speaker DLS R6A (80wrms, 120w max)
1 pair component speaker DLS C6A (50wrms, 100w max)
1 Rockford P4004 4chn amp (50w x4 @4ohm or 100w x4 @2ohm) NOW IN CAMRY, ready for GUT
1 Soundstream PCA360.2 NOW IN CAMRY, ready for GUT
1 Rockford Punch stage 2, p212S4 NOW IN CAMRY, ready for GUT

I go to a audio shop, they recommended me these:
12" earthquake sub woofer
Earthquake TNT 2000W/4chn (for running my 2 front speaker(DLS) and sub woofer)

I am only willing to gut from my camry, if they are better compare with the store introduce me too...

Coz i dont want to change the original HU for now(but in 2-3 months), i need a convertor(from HU wire to RCA then to amp) $300 untuneable.

Questions:
1. Is the rockford woofer better than the 12" earthquake sub woofer (not new model, quite old)
2. Is the TNT amp better than my Rockford when running the front 2 speakers?
3. Do u think running all 4 speakers using Rockford and using the sub with the soundstream amp is better than just using 1 amp for 2 front speaker and 1 sub woofer?
4. Is the convertor really bad for sound quality or just soso?
5. Am i asking too much from this forum?(sorry, i m really bad at these)


Please reply, please help me out, hopefully i can get my stuff done this friday or next wednesday?

I would keep what you have, rather than the Earthquake.

If you want a new sound, I would recommend looking at how the sub, and front speakers are installed, and set up.

and since you want to retain factory h/u - spend some $$ on a good level convertor/processor (such as the Rockford 3Sixty - about $1k) to give you the tuning options for getting the best out of your gear.

What you have now is quite ok, and I'd suggest just needs a bit of TLC to get it optimised.
