Geez dude, can't you get a hint? I don't like you, you're annoying. Your snobbery doesn't let you see that your "advice" is for someone that has way more money to spend than me right now, and someone who needs to be in their car way more than I do. But no matter how many times I tell you that...

You don't like Crutchfield? You mean because they sell at MSRP most of the time? However, when I bought my car audio components from them, I checked Amazon and other places, and they were about the same price, but without offering all the extra stuff to install the system. So you got the 10...

The "kid" as you call him, was way more helpful than you in just one post, by giving me the depth and telling me about his experience in a car like mine. And he's not trying to get me to spend a thousand dollars on a bunch of stuff I don't need.

Good, finally someone with helpful advice that can actually help me. I was looking at the lower budget one, say $50 to $75 per pair, since they are six of them. To give you an idea, in 2005 I bought four Pioneer speakers whose models I can't recall right now, but I've been happy with them for...

Dude, you're starting to get on my nerves. Are you one of those forum trolls who's going to start chasing me across different threads? I get it, you know a lot more than I do, good for you, I couldn't care less. I know what I want, your life is not going to change one bit if I get what I want...

LOL seems to me that you're trying to make me spend way too much money. But whatever, you don't seem to understand that I don't want to spend a lot of money on the super system for my new car, I just want something that allows me to enjoy the music, so I'll replace the speakers in a few months...

I would like to get some budget replacement speakers for my 2014 Focus, which as far as I saw on Crutchfield, they are 6.5" round ones. One thing I don't want is to have to cut out a hole in the door to have the speakers showing. I want speakers that will simply replace the factory ones, not...

I don't have any intention of spending crazy amounts of money on the car audio system, unless I get a job that pays too much and is too far away, making me spend at least two hours in the car every day. Otherwise it's a waste of money. And I really doubt that a good set of Pioneer speakers would...

I know 150 Mhz is mid bass, that's what I meant, factory stereos assign all the wrong frequencies to their bass and treble controls. I put that Clarion as an example, because it's one of the first that comes up when sorting by good customer reviews. I'm not planning on getting one for quite a...

Believe me, it does sound better, not louder. One thing I learned from connecting the phone with Poweramp to this and my girlfriend's car stereo, is that the tone controls factory stereos have are terrible, that the treble control will probably raise the 6 KHz frequency making everything sound...

Well, it does help. I don't know if a car EQ would help, but my reasoning behind it is what I put above, the sound improves quite a lot, without being great but much better than just putting a CD in the stereo, when I connect my phone and play music with Poweramp with the EQ and tone controls...

Will do. Thanks!

Gotcha. Well, but I would have to check if it's compatible with my car, because at least according to Amazon is not, but you know how those things are, sometimes they're right, other times they're wrong.

Sorry, I guess I should've specified. I'm not looking to spend an exorbitant amount of money on just improving the stereo. That JBL MS-8 is a bit short of $500. That's what I paid for my Pioneer stereo and then for the four Pioneer speakers for my old car, and I was very happy with it for the...

I just got a 2014 Ford Focus SE Hatchback, and not surprisingly, the sound quality is very mediocre, although not the worst I've heard in a factory stereo of a compact car. But I realized that within certain limits it can be improved when I connected my cell phone using Bluetooth and playing...
