Parang leaning towards option 2 din ako. Less invasive and baka masaya na ako sa simple speaker upgrade and deadening lang. Ayoko kasi maglagay ng amp under the front seats so if they put it in the trunk may woodworks pa kelangan to install it somewhere that won't affect the luggage space much. Will still depend kung anong speaker ang kayang i-drive with the stock HU. Will definitely listen to the installer's advice when the time comes.
with your budget now, option 2 ka nga bro. check out other popular brands like focal, helix, dls and others. installed focal sa car and van ko, bewith sa suv, all are entry level seps lang yet the sound improved a lot in terms of tonality. i'm not into hardcore audio set-up so hindi ako too clinical whether warm or bright, o kaya yung mga imaging, soundstage, etc. if your music source is good at maayos pag-tune ng installer sa speakers then ok lalabas at magiging mas enjoy makinig while driving. try mo muna walang amp at subwoofer, kapag nakulangan ka sa ingay at bass saka ka na lang magdagdag.
