Car sterio setup

[Dhawk 10+ year member]

I am rolling in a '96 Nissan Sentra, definitely not the best of cars. I recently bought the Kenwood Amp & Dual 12" Sub Party Pack (PW1200). The subs are mounted in a 12'' enclosed sub box and for my tiny car they hit hard enough to shake my tiny ride. Unfortunately, the tweeters in this car arn't the best, and I'd be ****ed if there were actually mid tones. I bought the car used and there were 2 mids in the back connected too the trunk but one was blown, and the other was just destroyed.

The short and simple is, my 2x 800 watt peek (KFC-W112S 12" 8-ohm) subs are running on a KAC-5204 2-channel amplifier. The bass is fine, any more and the doors may fall off this old car. But I listen to more rock than rap music now-a-days and I would prefer hearing lyrics instead of the thump in the trunk. I would prefer keeping my subs, but if needed I could get a bigger amp & mids, maybe 2x 6x9 speakers? The car isn't gonna be around forever so I'm hesitant on getting better tweeters.

so what do you want? seems like you arent prepared to spend any cash... and just because the car isnt going to be around forever doesnt mean u cant swap stereos to the new ride:fyi:

I am willing to spend cash, but there would hardly be any reason in buying new subs if I already have a pair that work more than good enough for me. I know I can remove the stereo but the tweeters in it aren't horrid nor are they blown so replacing them would be somewhat pointless. All I am wondering is with my subs and whatever seems to be the best mid tones would I need a new amp? I'm not an expert at car sterios so don't take what I say literal. I understand the basic concept of all of this but if you ask me to break down the stuff I'd be lost in a heartbeat.
