[QUOTE="roper, post: 5266126, member: 604545"] First of all, thanks for replying (and being patient enough to do so). I know little to none about car audio systems, so the help I hope to receive would be greatly appreciated. I tried to keep this organized because I feel like it would be a great hassle to have to surf through this message multiple times to understand what i'm asking for. [B]A little background info...[/B] A few months ago, I received a car for my birthday. The car is a 1994 BMW 325i Sedan. With the car came an installed Sony Xplod head-unit. The unit is a [B]CDX-F5700[/B], but as I said, I don't know if this is one of the higher end or lower end head units, due to my lack of knowledge in car audio. [B]Why i'd like a new setup...[/B] First off, I am posting this because I was hoping for a few suggestions on what speakers to get. Currently, the ones I have aren't anything special - they are your basic 1994 factory speakers. The car has little to no bass, which is really the main problem i'd like to fix. I tend to listen to rap and rock, and it is very noticeable when a rap song with some low bass is playing, yet you hear almost no bass whatsoever. [B]My budget and my priorities...[/B] For Christmas, I planned on getting a whole new system, probably with a budget of no higher than $600/$700 if possible. As mentioned, my first and foremost priority is to get a bit of bass, but I don't need anything crazy. I'd just like my car to thump a little bit, nothing that i'm going to show-off.
