planning my audio upgrade, BOSE system, need suggestions

after saving up a couple grand, I'm finally gonna upgrade/get rid of my BLOSE system. I'm planning to go with Infinity for all of audio needs (I'm their fanboy). I'm mostly worry about the sizing of the speakers.

so far:
head unit: either gonna buy the mp3 cd stock unit, or get the auxmod that i've been reading about
subwoofer: Infinity Kappa Perfect 10.1 (one only, in the 4080 box on the passenger side)
amp: Infinity Reference 5761a link
front speakers: infinity reference components(what size?) since the kappas components are expensive =(
rear: infinity ???? suggesttions?
center speaker: ???? suggestions? should I replace it?

any suggestions overall? I'm going to have a shop do all the installation as well since my audio knowledge is pretty much nonexistent It should cost about $2000 altogether right?

speaker and amp

i suggest you get the infinity 576 to run all the mis range speakers. i've got the 110a to run my subwoofer. i would suggest the Cerwin Vega Vmax SUB and Cerwin Vega splits. the quality of sound is excellent. i have them in my VW Polo.

Front speakers are a oversize 6.5" component, rear speakers are a 6.5" coax type is all you need. Factory head integration is a Audio Control 6XS. Center speaker, forget about it altogether, what center speaker.... Get ready for a rectal from the install shop, this car takes some time to do PROPERLY. Like rewiring the entire car and running speaker lines past the molex in the door jamb for example. Properly grounding the amplifiers. Taking care to make a proper baffle in the doors due to the known amount of water that fills the door cavity....

Suggestions, use the new Eclipse 5channel XA5000 full range class D amp, it will make as much power on the main 4 channels, more power on the sub channel and is a far more efficent amp design as compared to the class AB Infinity / JBL amp that you are considering.
