install in gulf wireless will cost more than the parts being installed :p
they rape you when it comes to installtion
they qouted me 900 for installing a HU and 4 speakers and 2 amps and a sub plus wiring and and the parts being used were costing me less than 1700 thats like more than half for just the installtion
were as outside snaller shops charge like 200 to 300 max for installtion

You'll need an amp for components. If only you could increase your budget a bit.

Ask for quotation first, i don't think that they will charge you with that much. if you feel that they are charging too much then go to another shop. I've been searching shops in Dubai before to where I can go for install. Based on my experience and my friends, i think their cost is worth it for install in GWT. You should also supervise the work, when I went for install I also have a personal touch so in the future you will know what to do if something go wrong.

Go for 1 set of 2 way components for fronts and 1 set of coaxials for rears. You should add 1 4channel amp. It is very important to have a good install, right wire gauges, fuses, RCAs, etc. Speakers and subs you can change them easily.

Brands: KIcker, Earthquake, DLS, Infinity and many more. I'm a Focal user but this brand is more on SQ.

The amps and components will be about a 1000 AED. Add in the price of coaxials for the rear and a decent HU plus installation for all of that and you'll be looking at a total cost of 2000 AED.

In Dubai - go check in Harman if they still have Infinity 2 way components, try to invest in good front components - price range from 300 to 500. or if you are in tight budget I saw in Neoglow that they are selling this Lightning Audio 4ch though it is used but in good condition and get the DLS R6A 2 way components. Then if you will have extra buy a sub.

RCA pre-out is an output for the amp if I'm not wrong. For your setup anything will do.

Only way to be sure about your stock size is to check the user manual or search online. Best would be if you measure them yourself. Since you own a Nativa, I doubt you'll find anything online.

As far as coaxials are concerned, get those which fit your budget. Good ones will always be expensive though.
