Audio system for a newbie. Help please..

[casearJohn]

Hi all. Great forums here. I want to upgrade my audio system, but dont know where to begin.

I have a 93 Cadillac Fleetwood. Factory six speaker system with amp, cd and cassette. Now it sounds pretty good for a 14 year old factory system. Sound quality is really good. I can hear everything cleanly. bass, horns, pianos, everything. I would like to use something that would fit in all the factory spaces. I dont want to tear the car up with the install. More importantly I dont want it to be too obvious there is good stuff in there.

I have 6x9's rear, amp in trunk, I think there are 5 1/2's up front, and then the tweeters, Maybe 2"? I would have to check on that. My total working budget is about $800-1000 right now. I dont mind buying used stuff or yesterdays models so long as they are good. I want sound quality and clarity over car shaking bass. Bass is good, but I feel it should compliment rather than overpower everything else, which is too often the case these days. I listen to everything from classical to opera to motown and rock. If that helps.

Thanks for any advice.

Go to crutchfield.com to see what exactly fits in your factory openings.There are lots of brands that sound good for example alpine,kenwood,pioneer,boston acoustics just to name a few.I always shop for my car audio on ebay new and used because there are really great deals on that site.Hope this helps!//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
