How much budget is enough for a decent SQ setup for my car? Please guide me sir.

Here are my plans:
1. Head Unit = Pioneer 4450BT, Question: Can I go wrong with rhis head unit when it comes to SQ?
2. Separates = GTO609
3. Amps for Separates (I still don't have any ideas, Sound Magus? Etc? ) Can you suggest one?

Thank you sir jhnkvn!
For a budget, just focus on tonality. We can forgive zero imaging, zero staging.. but if it sounds horrible.. we all get angry.

Your head unit has a built-in amplifier on it. If you plan on playing loudly, get an external amplifier. If you plan on doing background listening, just use the head unit. An amplifier does what it does -- it amplifies.

Sa totoo, I'm not fickle with amplifiers. People know this of me in car audio circles that's why I have difficulty in recommending amplifiers. Since naka JBL GTO ka na, might as well go full-JBL. What people's "usual" setup is a 4-channel amplifier and a subwoofer (I highly recommend the JBL 12" GT5 subwoofer on a 1 cubic feet (volume) enclosure to save space). Out of the 4-channels, they use two channels for the front left and right speakers and 2-channels (bridged for more power) for the subwoofer.
