the main reason i wanted an upgrade was because my front speaks sounded pretty bad when i played rap loud (as in loud enough to here with the windows down on the highway). I don't want a system that will blow people away, just enough so i can turn it up and still be able to clearly hear what they ar...

i have a 2002 honda civic, with a "premium sound system". i've been told a "premium" sound system already has an amp for the mids and highs. does this mean if i want to upgrade a little i should upgrade to components or 2/3 way speakers? im looking to spend about $200-$300 to rep...

i'm just looking to put new speakers in up front. i have a 2002 honda civic w/ a "premier sound system" and a sony headunit. i'm not looking to spend more than $150 on speakers. i'm looking for a good quality bass speaker. i know that i can't make a huge difference in bass, since im only r...

are there any headunits out there that have a direct connection to ipods. as in no adapter needed. if so, please list any

ok, so im gonna go with a cheaper 4 channel amp and good comp speakers. i plan on getting subs later on. can my stock headunit help the speakers produce a good sound. i will eventually replace it, but will the speakers still sound good even with a stock headunit of a 2002 honda civic lx

since i don't want to spend a lot, it is better to buy a $200 amp with $100 component speakers or a cheaper $120 amp and $200 component speakers. im not talking about any speakers or amps in particular, but i want to save some money so is it better to get a good amp with okay component speakers, or ...

by the way, does anyone use any type of ipod adapter(tape deck, FM transmitter) with their sound systems, other than an ipod ready headunit.

so components are better than coaxials for the long run if im going to add an amp and subs

do components NEED to run through an amp? if they don't need one, how good are they without an amp

can anyone reccommend good component speakers at bestbuy or ciruit city or Tweeter for less then $200

components? i was told to get with 2 or 3 ways first. what exactly is the difference and why should i get components instead

i could always just get speakers now and hold off on the amp too.....if i do that, would 2 way speakers or 3 way speakers be better in the long run (speakers+amp+subs)
