Isreal Kochheiser: i would get a good deck first, then amp, next speakers but the whole time concentrate on system design cause next upgrade may be another sub and an amp to match.i have thousands in my system but bought the best equipment and spent years making lay away payments, get good front speakers and an amp to run them at the volume you want.this is all about system design, do research and do not be fooled by bargain pieces that have great specs just buy higher end equipment online from ebay for previous year closeouts for the best deals.google car audio enthusiast sites for forums....Show more
Betsey Muehlbach: Here is some essential to good car audio.1. Replace the factory radio with an aftermarket. I go with alpine or pioneer.there the best on the market today. They have even bugdet ones too.2.replace factory speakers. Factory don't handle a lot of power like aftermarket do. Sometimes you want a 4 channel amp for this. So, you can tailor to the sound to ! you liking.3. Subs. I don't know you music taste. 2 10" woofers should take care of the lows. 4. Amps. Stick with cea 2006 complaint amps. There are tested to surpass exepctations of the amp or amps that your buying.You can go to cruthfield.com. Go to outfit your car. Follow the instructions.

Toney Flaten: alright i'll help you out here, the first thing your going to want to do is replace your head unit, go with somethign that has triple pre-out this means th! at you are going to have a pre out for subs, rear speakers, an! d fronts.. this allows you to upgrade in the future if you plan on just doing speakers or whatever it is that your looking to do. what most cars lack in stock systems is the bass response you wont hear the "hidden" part of music artist intend you to hear in a vehicle without having a subwoofer to produce the low level audio. so my first suggestion would be :A) head unit triple preout, JVC makes great head units for the average consumer with usually the most function for your buck the new JVC KD-R800 has just about everything the average person will ever want including bluetooth, triple preout, ipod control, front and rear usb and the usually EQ's ect, ect ect.B) buy at least a 4AWG wiring kit, again as an average consumer i recommend the monster 300 series this gives you: 4AWG power cables, 4AWG grounding cable your remote wire 18AWG, a distribution block so you can split your power to more than one amp and 8AWG power and ground to come off the distribution block as well ! as all your ring terminals and fuse and fuse holders.the only thing missing from this kit is your RCA interconnects, stinger makes great interconnect RCAs dont cheap out on your RCAs these carry your signal you dont want to be hearing alternator noise, or static because you bought cheap RCAs.C) now you will need a sub, this gets down to what your most likely going to use it for, for rock i would go with two 10" subs in a closed box this will let you keep your accuracy but at the cost of less "boom"if your more of a hip hop guy go with either 2 high quality 10's or better 2 12" subs in a ported enclosure, with the ported enclosure your giong to lose a bit of accuracy but you gain high dB's thus your get a louder "boom"D) now to get the sub(s) moving your going to need an amp. for subs your going to want a Class-d mono block amp for an average consumer i would recommend either A) MTX 4001 or B) Alpine MRP-M500. these are putting out 400 watts rms and 500 watts rms at 2ohm loa! d. obviously there are higher powered amps im just trying to keep you wi! thin a certain budget system range something to get you started, if you looking to spend alot more then edit your question and i will definitly edit my answers for you.now thats what i say you do first once you get your subs in wait a bit save for some half decent speakers your going to want components for your front this means your goign to have a driver with a seperate tweeter and crossover, but dont worry about speakers til you get your sub in, for your rear deck just get some coax speakers... sorry im getting lazy this is a long answer i dont want to go into explainations of component and coax google it if you must know.. lolonce thats done you have the choice of running your speakers off of your deck which will put out roughly 20 watts RMS x4 or amping them usually to 50 watts rms x4 depending on what speakers your putting in, again this is an average consumer system it will cost oyu anwhere from 1200-2000 depending where you buy and what brands you go with but this s! hould definitly help you out to understand some car audio, and i definitly hope i get a best answr for this huge essay i just wrote you lol... edit if you have questions i'll check by later...Show more
