I just got a 2004 WRX and the speakers sound absolutely terrible. I was planning on upgrading my speakers, but I don't know much about car audio and I don't know where to start, especially on a tight budget of $400-$500. I'm not looking for a top-of-the-line system, I just want my music to sound pretty good without breaking the bank. I'll definitely be replacing my HU and front speakers, but beyond that, I just have a ton of questions:
Sorry for the long post; I really don't know anything about car audio. Also, my WRX does not have the stock sub under the passenger seat. Thanks in advance.
- Should I replace the rear door speakers?
- Should I get 2-way, 3-way, or component speakers (especially since my WRX has separate tweeters in the front doors)?
- The doors in the WRX are very shallow, so should I get 6.5" speakers or are 5.25" fine?
- Should I get an amp given my budget, or would it be more cost-efficient to just get better speakers?
- Would it be doable to also buy a sub, and if so, are powered subs a good idea since they tend to be cheaper?
- What should I expect to spend on each component?
- Which ones are worth purchasing with my budget (e.g. just speakers and a HU, or add an amp)?
