[QUOTE="2012ScionTC, post: 7851522, member: 642988"] My son has a Mazda 3, Clarion CX501, $189.00 from Sonic, has 6x8 stock speakers, and just added an inexpensive Orion 10" entry sub $65.00 (sealed enclosure) and a Phoenix Gold 2 Channel used amp $20 bucks bridged to 160 watts x 1 @ 4 ohms. [URL="http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_33721_Clarion-CX501.html"]Clarion CX501 (CX-501) In-Dash Car Stereo w/ Bluetooth and USB[/URL] His car surprised me, for what it is when I have to drive it the system is enjoyable and he really likes it. The sub setup just provides a nice compliment to the factory speakers and the clarion head unit puts out good power and controls the ipod nicely. Not a bad little setup, I can't fault it for the little bit of money he has in it. Get a good head unit, add a small sub, should be good enough for now and better than what you have. [/QUOTE]
