What do I need to replace stock audio system on a car?

Question

I would like to add a sound system to my car. I was wondering what do I need? Amps, Speakers, and sub woofers? (Would I need subwoofers if I listen to Rock music - not sure if that would make a difference..?)

Thanks.

Answer 1

ok this all depends on how loud you want your music, if you want a moderate system you can use the head unit power to run two front speakers or 4 (2 front 2 rear) but you wont be able to crank it too much because head unit power is weak,  i listen to rock also, and i like it when i can turn it up loud and clear when i want to, so that is when the amps would come into play, one 4 channel amp for the speakers, and i would recommend at least one subwoofer to add some realism to the bass drum, that would mean a subwoofer amp and sub, rock sometimes tends to get a little distorted so i would recommend an Equalizer to fix some of the midrange if the head unit does not have an adequate one,,,,hope this helps
