Keeping the factory speakers would be nice, as that would save me the price of buying new ones. I'm a little unclear on what you're saying though - are you saying it would be harder to install an amp IF I kept the factory speakers, and easier if I didn't?

As I get closer to the ripping-and-tearing time I'll likely want to call on your knowledge. I have a vague idea that installing an amp will mean sticking it in the trunk, then running wire to it, and back again - but seeing it in my head and doing it are two different things, I realise.

Tips, tricks and hints are always good things to have. Thanx for the quick reply, too!
