Subwoofer car audio help!?

Question

Hi i have a 91 geo storm with stock speakers. they get pretty loud but dont have any bass, thus i wanted to get a subwoofer installed. any ideas? good or bad idea?? solution without spenidng over $100

Answer 1

Good idea... You don't want to try to force a bass out of speakers... They'll eventually rip or however you want to say it...

You can get a real good sub with 100 dollars but the problem is you need an amp to back it up too which will cost more money...

Answer 2

Need a line output converter to convert stock speaker output wires into RCA outputs ($20 at Wally World).  Need an amplifier at least 300 watts.  (Flea Market perhaps for a used one..tag sale).  Need either a subwoofer or couple of 6x9's in a sealed enclosure.  You can just forget the $100 bucks unless you're getting some of this stuff for free from a friend.  

You need a budget of at least $225 for it to sound anything other than sh*tty.

Actually...it's gonna sound sh*tty no matter what....buy a new car....save up and buy some good sh*t.

Answer 3

when it comes to car audio you always get what you pay for and removing and replacing broken blown equipment is not fun and it cost more than money- time also

its going to be impossible to get a setup under $100, you will spend at least $15 on a "line output converter" to give you a set of RCA outputs for the radio

you then need power/ground wires, remote wire and RCA cables and an in-line fuse

plus the cost of installation

if you find a sub under $50 you still would need an amp to power it
