[QUOTE="1984rampage, post: 6899606, member: 624120"] Now that I've got my car running and looking good, the audio needs a SERIOUS revamp. The car is an 85 shelby charger (small lightweight hatchback). It currently has an older kenwood aftermarket headunit, a blown front speaker, and three crappy stock factory speakers. Basically it sounds like crap and has absolutely no bass. I am a noob when it comes to car audio. Ive been doing a lot of reading lately but I still dont know where to start when it comes to actually putting together a system and not wasting money. I listen to almost everything but mostly rap, techno, dubstep, country, and hardcore rock. Could you give me some recommendations for a decent "system"?.. Im guessing I'll need at the very least all new component speakers up front, some speakers for the rear, subwoofers, amplifiers, and maybe a new headunit? Budget-wise I'd like to keep it reasonable. Definitely don't want to spend over $1000, preferably less but I understand you sacrifice some quality with cheaper stuff! Is it worth looking into buying used audio equipment? I'm not looking for the most amazing system money can buy obviously, I'm certainly no audiophile, I just want something that is respectable when other people get in the car and enjoyable on the 3 hour roadtrips between college and home. Hope you guys can help me out! Thanks [/QUOTE]
