[QUOTE="SSS 18734, post: 3042400, member: 559710"] Quite honestly, I think you're wasting your money if all you want to do is swap speakers and a head unit. The minor gains you will see aren't worth it. Save up a few hundred dollars more and get something that is worth getting. You can put together a decent system for a fair price. These are all brand new prices. You can save even more by purchasing used. Head Unit: $100 Component Speakers: $100 Deadener: $50 ported Subwoofer box materials and wires: $50 Subwoofer $100 600 watt, three channel amplifier: $150 - $200 GRAND TOTAL: $550 - $600, only $250 - $300 more than your current budget. If you insist on only spending $300, then go the the junkyard and unscrew an Intergra's radio, buy a cheap used 4 channel amplifier to power your stock speakers (assuming the impedance works out), and a sub and a mono amp. With wiring and a line out converter, you're looking at around $300. That's probably the best you can do for $300, honestly. Or forget the subwoofer and spend it all on a set of good comps, a head unit, a good amp, and a crapton of sound deadening. [/QUOTE]
