[QUOTE="Kai Winters, post: 8463963, member: 574994"] More info is needed... Are you using the factory head unit? or an after market unit? Is there more than just the factory/after market unit's amp? Were it me I'd do the following: replace the factory head unit, not knowing quality/etc., install a 4 channel amp. Next would be the control connections for steering wheel controls, etc. if needed. Then I'd put in the best front speakers I could afford...very good speakers aren't terribly expensive. Last a good quality sub in a size that will fit the vehicle, I've had a 10" sub in a sealed enclosure on the floor behind the drivers seat for years...for me and the car it is a great spot, providing plenty of low end bass and can be removed if needed...worked better than in the trunk. I power the front speakers off the first two channels then bridge the rear channels for the sub...you have to make sure the amp provides enough power in the bridged state to power the sub. My Memphis Audio amp does this just fine. Good luck, keep us informed and provide more info... [/QUOTE]
