[QUOTE="Alrojoca, post: 7829629, member: 638714"] Components is the way to go for better sound and they need power, you can spend $300 on a nice set of components like the cdt recommended, but you will have to spend more on an amp to drive them, in many cases quality sound speakers need more power, it is difficult to get loud and clean sound with less power, you may want to look in to brands like Focal, hertz DSK lower end for the price since they are efficient and will not need a powerful expensive amp to sound clean and loud with less volume. There may be other efficient speakers but not as clean sounding with low power. Sub: get a JBL or infinity 10 or 8 inch, with 90+ spl 200-300 w rms or any good brand with over 91 db spl, Amp: 4 ch bridge able or 5 ch amp, in either case you will be over $600 by the time you add your wiring instal kit RCA cables, speaker wires, personally since I am not a bass head, I don't believe in sub amps unless it is used in conjunction with another 4 ch amp, SE has a JBL 5 ch amp on sale now for $300 but it is out of stock. If you change the 4 x 6 speakers you will be at $650 plus if you go with a set from Jbl, infinity or Polk, nothing jaw dropping but decent real fill if wanted, and you can tweak your HU crossovers and Eq to keep them from polluting your front stage.
