Need system suggestions
I just purchased a cheap car for my girlfriend. After spending considerable money getting it in good mechanical shape it is time to upgrade the audio system.
Really I'm upgrading it to make up for buying her such a cheap car.
This is all being installed in a 2002 Ford Focus ZX5
I know it uses 6x8 speakers in all 4 doors.
I already bought the HU a Kenwood KDCX596 and the stuff to install it in the dash.
I need suggestions to round out the system. I have a $650 to $750 dollar budget to work with. She likes to listen to hip-hop and likes bass. I like to listen to just about everything from Black Sabbath and Maroon 5 to Adele.
Do I buy just good front speakers and leave the original ones in the back door?
Do I need component speakers in the front doors?
Do I need to use an amp on the front and rear door speakers?
Can I use the original speaker wiring?
What size sub can i use and still have some room left in the hatch?
Which sub and what amp do i use to power it.
What box do i put the sub in?
Also I am ready to buy this stuff, so if there is something on sale please post a link or tell me the best place to purchase.
Also if you suggest over my budget please try to justify the reason I should go over my budget.
Lastly I plan on installing this myself so no custom fabricating. I can drill holes and trim panels but that's about it. I would like to be able to install all of it at the same time in one weekend.
I hope I included everything you need to know. If not please ask.
Thanks for any help as I realize after reading several forums and articles that I could use all the help I can get.
