[QUOTE="Antiping, post: 8519653, member: 670797"] So I'm really bad at wording these things, sorry if it gets long. I haven't done any car audio stuff for about 10 years and figured you guys could steer me in the right direction. Our last vehicle was a chrysler 300c with Boston acoustic premium audio. We liked it enough that we never did anything to the sound system. We recently bought a Hyundai Genesis coupe with the infinity premium audio, and are very underwhelmed by it. It's nowhere near as good as the Chrysler, and we want to fix that. There are a few problems though. 1: we don't want to change the head unit, since it's a 2 piece integrated navigation with a weird dash trim kit. 2: we don't have a lot of room in the trunk for additional subwoofers. 3: we want good clear sound, with the ability to get really low and still respectably loud. We tend to listen to mostly electronic (trap, sub, trance, house etc) and occasionally she will watch a movie with the sound going through the car. 4: I'm a cheap bastard so I don't want to spend a whole lot of $ all in one go. So I was thinking there are probably a few ways to go. 1:I have a 10" pioneer premier ts-w2504spl from way back that we really enjoyed. I could buy a box, amp, LOC and put that in the trunk. It takes up the most room but would be the cheapest option. 2: replace the OEM 8" sub in the rear deck with a much better one. I would have to buy an amp, probably some sort of LOC or x-over, and would have to tear apart the rear end of the car. More labour intensive than the other options, and probably will have the worst sound, but no box needed. 3: buy shallow mount woofers in a down firing box and put in the trunk. Again, I would need to buy an amp and LOC, but this would be the easiest thing to do. I'm just worried it would be expensive and not be able to hit those low notes that we crave in our music. However it does leave room in the trunk. Kind of the middle ground option. So, what is everyone's thoughts? Any reccomendations on sub's, amps, boxes, LOC etc and where to find them? Thanks [/QUOTE]
