I need a better car stereo system. I have nothing as of right now. Where should I start? ?

Question

I got nothing as of right now. I have a cd player I got, and got a friend to install it. I do know someone who can wire it all for me. I just want to know what I will need? amp? subwoofer? I just need 12's... I don't need anything to expensive or big considering I am driving a Saturn. Nothing special. I am new to all this. so any help would be appreciated.

Answer 2

What kind of amp you get depends on how powerful of subwoofers you want. Go to this website, www.millionbuy.com, and look through their list of subs. From there you can look at the prices and compare.  Just remember, when it comes to car audio, you get what you pay for.

Answer 3

to start of its good to go with 2 12" type r

rockford fosgate amps

for voice alpine x speakers

0 gage wireing

trust me you will like the sound.

and to go more powerful you just ask me and i will get you to be the loudest in your neighbor hood.

you will be one of a kind. good luck.

Answer 4

if you are serious you need to look into at setup that has at least 400watts RMS

you need to stick with CEA-compliant brands- which means that the amps have been tested and produce or exceed the advertised RMS wattage with minimum distortion and the subs can handle their advertised RMS wattage also (distortion is the main cause of speaker damage)

here are the top CEA-compliant brands

Alpine (highly recommend)

Bazooka (don't like their subs)

Blaupunkt (don't like their subs)

Clarion

Eclipse

Infinity (highly recommend)

JBL

JL Audio (very good but over priced)

JVC

Kenwood (don't like their subs)

Kicker (the best in my opinion)

Memphis

MTX (highly recommend)

Orion

Pioneer

Polk Audio (highly recommend)

PPI

Rockford Fosgate (highly recommend)

Sony (don't like their subs)

you always get what you pay for, here is a nice setup (around $400)
