I have mine on a 3 way crossover with high to dash tweeters, mids to dash, and low to doors. RAF (rear area fill) to rear shelf. Good setup, only drawback is no fader, as rears are just fill from front channel crossovers. I too am all for stock look, and tweets in dash seem to be fine.

My opinion is start with a good speaker/crossover setup, then change amp if you like. Doing amp first is akin to putting a bigger engine in a sinking boat...it's not gonna change the performance, and it might end up sinking faster.

I'm sure you will get all kinds of suggestions for speakers (and I won't venture there), I'd suggest don't skimp too much, as doing a good install is not a 5 minute job, and better now means not re-doing later...and personally I hate doing the same thing twice.
