im planning to get either an in-dash DVD player or the separate
modular type using the 7inch display mod show on in this forum.

this will be sometime in Jan-Feb 03..but would like to do some
research first.

i want 5.1 capability but not very sure what to expect. I do not
need a super loud system, just enough to get a decent deep
sound. I plan on using factory premium speakers + center sp.

1. what amp would you recommend?
2. what center speaker would you recommend?
if i get the in-dash player, i plan to put the center sp
in the factory clock area.
3. would i have problems with my aux current? such as
dimming interior lights or headlights? if so, what can
be done to improve this area? I read some things about
caps helping/not helping, etc in this forum.

thanks,
ken

an aftermarket battery would help the lights dimming problem

I plan on using factory premium speakers

correct me if i'm wrong, but are you planning on using the factory speakers? i would suggest against this for two reasons

1) the factory speakers (upgraded or not) don't handle extra power well (adding an amp)

2) also if you are wanting to build a 5.1 capable system the stock speakers won't provide you the quality you are looking for (at any volume)IMHO

just my dos pesos, take it for what you will and good luck;)
