[QUOTE="subzero88, post: 6288855, member: 614320"] Hello, I have decided to upgrade my car's sound system and was looking for other opinions. The only thing I have done audio related in a car was installing an alpine deck. Other than that I have no knowledge or experience so any advice would be appreciated. I have a base 2004 350z with stock head unit and speakers (I am really disappointed with the quality of the speakers). After reading a little and looking around, here is what I came up with following a $2,000 budget.
