Car audio enhancement

[destructor10]

I am looking to enhance my car audio system and currently i have company fitted alpine HU & 4 speakers.

I am planning to add amplifier and a sub woofer to enhance the sound quality. I am working on a specific budget and below are my set of configuration selected. Could you guys evaluate and let me know, if the items selected are decent and work to each others capacity.

My objective is to get good sound output with good bass. Currently, i get a distorted sound.

Amplifier:

You mentioned you get distorted sound, which happens with cheap factory speakers, but you aren't switching out the Speakers themselves?

Do you also lack/desire bass? given your listing of the JBL Subwoofer.

If the subwoofer is not absolutely required. I would suggest putting the subwoofer money into two decent pairs of speakers. One component set upfront and a Coaxial pair for the rear door. Avoid 6x9s(oval) speakers.

Another option is to go with just front speakers and bridge the JBL sub.

I think 8 gauge wiring is more than enough for this power. Please list your budget so I can give recommendations on speakers.

Thanks for the revert

Yea i think so speakers are not the best of the quality. Initially when it was fitted gave me a problem and it was fixed by the company. Of lately, speakers give bad output.

How much would the woofer help , if i run it with 4 channel amp and front speaker(old one),letting the rear speaker to run on HU?

Will my alpine HU capitalise the power from amp. It is a standard and basic HU fitting from company.

My budget is not more than 10-12K rupees for amp & sub

Also suggest me some 4 channel amp. I shortlisted GZ - Output of 500watts with CEA rating. Is thr any other i can look for.

Also let me know the woofer i have shortlisted is a decent one.

Now I am planning to install a subwoofer and mono amp. Budget - 15k

I would need your suggestion on few points:

Which sub and mono amp should I opt for with the above setup currently in my car?

What should be the size of the sub? And should i go for the build in enclosure or get a new one?

I have 7 inch kicker in spare, earlier used, will it fit with the current setup?
