what type of system are you trying to make for yourself? going for more of an audiophile type setup, or do you just like.. want something loud and bassy?

also, the biggest factor in all this: budget?

Well, I don't wanna spend like 100$ for two speakers, I have two front Sony Xplods 6 x 9. and a Pioneer deck. I need two more speakers and sub(s) and an amp. I want something loud and bassy, but not the annoying one where you can't understand it and makes other people's cars shake.

First thing you need to do is trash the Xplods.

Pioneer deck is okay. I prefer Alpine.

Go JL Audio for the subs.

And there are a couple different companies you can go with for amps.

Check out www.etronics.com they have good prices compared to your Best Buys, Circuit City's or Crutchfield.

Why dont you wait until they have that sale of the century deal, or wait until discount autosound have that big sale. I got alot of equipment from there. Just save your money so you can get something nice.

So, when they have their sales, how much would it be for four new speakers, two 10's or 12's and an amp to push it all do you think? and nothing special order.
