Toyota Corolla Cross Speakers

[connerprince]

I just bought a brand new Toyota Corolla Cross but wanted to upgrade the cars audio system. I would max out the volume knob almost everyday leading to distorted music at high volume. I met with one car audio shop that says they're fine they just need an amp and a Hi low converter, and I want to add a sub, but also met with another shop that said they would swap out the speakers and they're made from Taiwan (cheap). Do you think I need to replace the speakers or should the new ones be fine with an amp?

PS. the one shop said they'll do new pioneer speakers an amp and sub for 1100, but the one that just wants to use an amp for the speakers and an amp for the sub would be 1300. Who do you think I should go with? Should I just get the new pioneer speakers?

It depends on the brands they want to use. I would go with speakers first. If they sound great on radio only, then I would add the amp and sub.
If speakers sound bad on just the radio, I would opt for a 5 channel amp and sub.
