adding a sub to standard system
Hi Folks
Another newbie here, very proud and happy owner of a 3.0si . I have a couple of questions... Firstly I have the stock stereo and really fancy adding a couple of speakers into the door and more importantly an amp and a couple of 6x9 or subs in the storage bins. I am not looking for the ultimate sound system... just something with a little more bite and bass. My questions are how is best to wire up the amp? Shall I splice the rear speakers inputs into a speaker line-in on a suitable amp? Or is their a better way? Secondly where could I source a remote line-in input from the headunit? Many thanks |

I don't know what stereo your car has but here is what I would do-
Go somewhere like crutchfield.com and input your car to see what options you have to upgrade the sound system. Most likely, you will want a set of component speakers with 6.5" and a tweeter for the doors/kick panels if your car will accommodate. Do NOT get 6*9 for the trunk- Amp/Sub combos for the trunk is easy. If you want something really small that rocks pretty good- the JL8W7 with a 500watt JL Amp will give you quite a bit without pissing off the neighbors and takin up your whole trunk. Seriously though, forget the 6*9 idea. Yes you will need line converters to wire it up. A better way is to replace the entire head unit and start fresh. Another better way is to get the JL Clean sweep setup (this will preserve your factory head unit)...you can read more on line about that.
