If you can't find it, or you see something iffy, you could try regrounding your HU. Do you know how to ground correctly?

No i dont i'll ask someone who knows how, but can you tell me how?
And whats "HU"? i'm a begginer i dont know these things.

the car is jetta 91, but i'm not using car's wires cauze these are just normal wires not for speakers(for some reasons they were connected to the orginal speakers), instead i rewired them with speaker wires?

HU is "head unit." (your radio)
the factory car wiring is usually about 20-22AWG. very small, but adequate.
There is no such thing as 2 ohm and 4 ohm wire.. that 4 ohm marking was just to let you know the impedance of the speakers it came with.

My favorite types of music are: hard rock, heavy metal, techno, and some hio hop.
what type of speakers would be the best for these types? for this differ kinds of music what would be better coaxial speakers or commponents set.
would sub work fine with heavy metal, i mean i like bass, but in hard rock or heavymetal i need the sound to be clean.
is it possible to combine these kinds of music in to one equipment? will it sound good on all types?
i heard of speakers which work as subs but there aren't, they play only bass, however they're mounted on the rear dash board, to mount the speakers u need to make a 2 holes in the dash board, thay can't be in a box, thay have to be mounted to the dash board, the technology has to do something with the air inside the trunk, i also heard they are 50% more effective then subs. do u have any idea what kind of speakers they can be?

Ok Matt, got to the FAQ section, and start reading. You might have some questions as you go along, but it will help you greatly. Ok now for your questions.

If you don't mind spending a little more money, Components are the way to go, period. But you need an amp to push them, or they will sound like crap.

Yes you can, but plan on taking your time. Its better to plan the whole system (with a little help from us), and go from there. Let us know how much you want to spend, and we can give you a multitude of choices in your price range.

??????? :help: ??????? Stay away from stuff that sounds to good to be true. If you want a well balanced stereo, you need a sub, or subs, and a box to go along with them.

One more peice of advice, keep your stereo simple, and don't get into the belief that more is better. My stereo for example only has five speakers, a set of components in the front, and a single sub in the back (FYI I listen to the same music styles you do), and this simple set up works wonders.
