If you look around hard enough, you could save some money buying welding wire vs a amplifier kit, but probably not much after inline fuses and spade connectors and such.

Front components are a plus, yes.

Rear, leave alone unless there is something wrong with the ones you have

A million ways to go on amps, but I went for simplicity with a single amplifier doing everything. I would bridge channels 1-4 into your front components and run the rears off the deck.

Dayton UM is my fav metal sub of all time! Diggs really deep for a sealed sub, and never sounds sloppy.

Dynamat is a big yes, it's really the only way to get that tight mid-bass out of a leaky door "speaker box", floors cut road noise, rear deck can help out midbass for the rear. Trunk kills rattle, etc.

> a carpet that's supposed to fit the entire floor space

I haven't used anything like that before. Maybe someone on here knows. Check out this site. Their method is sort of the best case scenario for deadening, but I think if you went with just some of this, you'd still block a tremendous amount of road noise. And if installed around and behind those front speakers, they should play louder and cleaner.

Check out 4 inch components for your fronts. You'd have to find a spot for the tweeters (as they're separate) but even the cheapest components usually sound much better than coaxial speakers.
