[QUOTE="hodja, post: 6965366, member: 625321"] Hi there, I am a complete noob about car audio. I have a '99 Miata which has stock sound setup ( 6x8 25w Speakers on doors, 25w tweeters ) except a rather acceptable old aftermarket HU (Pioneer deh- series cdplayer) , which is a little more than average. I am planning to setup a good audio system which will provide clear and quality sound. Hi Level sound is not so important. Free space to place an amplifier and a sub woofer is very limited so I need to be modest on my decisions. My estimated budget is 500$ I'd appreciate if I can get your opinions, experience (if you have any) & recommendations about these units or the complete setup.
