Want to upgrade audio, but I'm clueless

adamhoud · 12-04-2007, 12:15 PM

I listen to mostly hard rock/metal/industrial, and I want more sound/power out of my Si's system.

I was considering getting two 10" kickers and a hifonics mono amp to start with, removing the stock 8"/amp what about upgrading the amp that powers the 6 speakers? I am open to any recommendations as I know nothing about audio.

I am not TOO concerned with cost, I can get about a 50% discount and I've got money anyway, stock system just sounds weak to me.

IMO, I would just gut the entire car and start from scratch.

Where do you work, and what brands can you get?

I recommend Infinity :)

I am friends with the management at my local frys, so pretty much anything on www.frys.com kicker, infinity, but I'm mostly looking for more bass at the moment, 10's box and amp. I had some infinity kappa components in my old car, they sounded ok, but will it be an upgrade even when still using the stock amp?
