Default OEM amp went out..

My stock amplifier has gone out and I have a couple amps laying around the house.. I was wondering how I would go about hooking an aftermarket amp to the stock stereo. Any suggestions for decent aftermarket double din video screens?

Swap out the factory rear speakers for some nice 6x9's . Use carpeted MDF oval adapters when fitting in factory speaker holes and fix with a couple of screws from underneath parcel shelf in boot
Cost effective mod

My HU is a Pioneer AVH 3600 DAB 4x55w
