[QUOTE="lspin01l, post: 6424703, member: 555506"] Alright, I used to be in the know for all the car audio stuff, but I was out of it for about 3 years. I just got a 07 Prius, with navigation/ upgraded sound, etc. I am not satisfied with the bass, so I will be putting in a system. I will be doing it little by little just to have the cost spread out a little bit. I really like Alpine products so for the first stage of the install I have chosen: Alpine SWX-1043D - 10" type X subwoofer Alpine MRP-M1000 - 1000W RMS amp I will add some mid-bass and tweeters in a few months, along with an amp to compensate for the bass.
