And forgot all about it, but I've also got a Pioneer avh-x3500dab sitting at home to be installed! :) Should help with the aid of the speaker sound "issue" i was having? Proper RCA points and a 50 Watt pre-out :)

Thanks mate! :) Any suggestions? I'm a perfectionist, so i thought a pioneer amp?
I don't usually recommend brands as I work as a technician for one of them.

I've pretty much always used unique high end brands in my systems but I always buy my friends products from my mainstream brand workplace and their systems sound great as long as they're installed correctly. So I've kind of lost the desire for high end brands, especially in the car environment with so much road, engine and exhaust noise.

All of these would be suitable along with many other brands out there. This just gives an idea of what power range you'd be after. Anything around 500W RMS at 2 ohm.

Just for future reference, "preout" means pre-amplifier output which is the RCA outputs. That head unit has 3 sets/pairs of RCA preouts and 50Wmax speaker outputs. The actual continuous power output of it is 22W x 4. Those speakers are rated at 55W and 60W continuous/RMS so you would be best getting an external amplifier.
