Honda Passport audio Questions
I'm considering to upgrade my current sound system which is stock.
Currently the HU: is Double DIN 5-disc CD changer. I want to swap it with this:

Do you think this will be an upgrade or should i keep the stock however the CD laser lens is broken so i can only use cassette.
The front door: has two tweeter 3/4'' and 2x 5.25'' speakers
The rear door : has 2x 5.25'' speakers
I want to swap the 5.25'' with 2 pairs of these:

The rear roof has a pair of 2x 4'' speakers and i want to swap theses for"

So theirs what i would like however i need some advice. Is Sony a good brand i picked them as the new Honda's have Sony sound systems and i had a good experience with Sony. The HU is rated at 52wattsx4 would this be enough to power the 8 speakers now(stock) and after with the upgrade listed? Any advice is appreciated i don't mind changing brands but i'm on a budget. Also where can i buy car audio in Canada it only looks like Canadian tire, Bestbuy and Futureshop have car audio.
Also in the near future i'm hoping to get these:

There is a list of CDN dealers on this forum that can help you with some great choices for car audio in Canada. Personally, friends don't let friends buy Sony. Been that way for the 22 years I have sold car audio. You seem to have a idea of what you are after, now come up with a budget.

Well my budget is gonna range around 1,000 including the subs i mentioned. I'm not looking for anything too good it's just for some normal use, not SPL. My friends brother's a mechanic and he has Sony audio in all of his cars(he has 5) he doesn't do any SPL or anything just normal use, which is what i planned for. By the way is ebay.ca a good place to shop as i see most of the suppliers on the website are for high end SPL equipment. Also do you think the HU i listed will have enough RMS to power all 8 speakers in my car?
