Guys,

I have a question regarding Automotive Amplifier installations and bass
speakers...

I have a spare car and some stereo bits and pieces sitting around after
a few years of car juggling. so i have decided to make a weekend project
of it.

i have:

1 x Toyota echo with a crappy factory 2 speaker system. [just not on!]
1 x Nakamichi CD-35z CD player [4 x 35w. 4 x standard leads & 2 x RCA jacks]
2 x VDO HSP1321 MaxP:100w [130mm] speakers
2 x Boston Acoustics CX4 MaxP:40w CX4 [100mm] speakers

from memory the VDO speakers are very loud but definitely in the higher
sound range, the Bostons are sweet just not too loud. so this is what i
want to do:

match the VDO's to some comparable quality bass speakers [not to
massive] to balance it out, preferably fit them in the rear of the
vehicle through an amp of some kind as i believe the deck is only 4x35w.
i would hook up the Boston speakers to one of the standard channels from
the CD Deck. the amp i believe hooks up to the RCA outputs in the back
of the deck... is this a good idea or a dumb one?

I would be keen on some recommendations on AMPs and Bass speakers sizes
and power and possibly what i might need to install it.
