So replacing the front speakers will solve this problem?

It is more about personal likes/dislikes. No one here will agree with each other on that subject. Some like a ton of bass with little regard to anything else, others like a balance and yet others do not like much bass at all....

yeah i would like a balance too. Ok how does this look.

2 Alpine SWR-1043D 10" Dual 4 OHM Type R Subwoofer

AUDIOPIPE MINI AMP MONO 1000 WATT MOSFET CAR AMPLIFIER

Kicker KS40 4" 2-way car speakers ( for the front, not necessarily getting these but just so i have an idea of what i need)

A sealed enclosure ( not yet picked)

Amp kit

Pioneer AVH-4300DVD

Sound good?

Thanks! So just to be clear, the Audiopipe amp is capable of powering those 2 subs? And im assuming i wont need an amp for the front speakers?

well amping your front speakers lets them get to their full potential.

do you have factory tweeter locations with speakers in them?

If your car has premium sound you most likely will have to get an amp bypass kit when you install an aftermarket headunit. That Audiopipe amp will move those Alpines fine. You might need an amp for your front speakers or you might not, its all up to your listening preference. Someone mentioned earlier than some like all bass, some like a balance and some don't like bass.

You could go with an SA 10 in a custom ported box tuned around 35hz to save on space an a little $.

The subs goes for 179 shipped and a box should run you around 80ish tops for a super nice strong box. That Audiopipe amp would be a nice match for it.

SSA Store - Sundown Audio SA-10 Subwoofer

In car audio the enclosure is more important than the equipment so its best to not get a cheap box. Its a mistake many new people make.

so you recommend ditching the 2 alpines and going for the single 10" sundown? also can you give me a link to a store that sells quality enclosures? finally is the amp bypass kit vehicle specific or can i get anyone that looks good when i google. Thx for all this helpful info

Avoid premade off the shelf enclosures. Instead go to a local car audio shop and have them build one for you. There are members on here that you can buy designs from to have built or they can build it for you and ship it to you. PM Buck, RAM Designs or Pro Rabbit.

The amp bypass kit is vehicle specific. It sounds like you have a premium factory sound system so you will need to replace your speakers with component speakers and not coaxial speakers. Component speakers come with a separate tweeter and some type of crossover.
