I got a 2007 mazda3 with factory everything intacked. I dont want a system that is setting off car alarms and making people def but I want quality with just a bit of pounding! I bought a Alpine CDA-117 CD-R/-RW/MP3/AAC/WMA Cd Player and need to no what else i should get? remaining budget is about $300. Ill take pics and post them when im done...................go nuts boyz.

If you wanna stay minimal, I'd say power the stock speakers with the deck's internal amp, and get yourself a 10" sub and power it with at least 300W rms, and it'll sound pretty good for not a lot.

Realistically you won't be able to do much with $300 in terms of bass especially if you're not installing yourself, but if loud bass is not what you're going for you may be happier upgrading your front set of speakers to some decent aftermarket components for around $150, and then run them amp'd for about another $300 + install.. you won't get the bass a subwoofer system will put out but for the cost you'll likely get much more satisfaction out of it. Something like this http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/produ...?itemid=225197 would make for an easy stealth install so it'd also be less worry about getting broken into.

Geez, for $300 and to keep it clean I'd lean more towards a powered 10" Bazooka tube. It would also take up less trunk space than a box-like enclosure and the install is super easy.

what if I replace the rear speakers with 6x8's? how do u no if u need a box for the speakers or not.

inexpensive 4 channel amp ,wire kit and a cheap 12 in a t line box (it can be done)

Colton

I know 6x9's can put out some decent bass but if you're going to upgrade the rears i would upgrade the front too. If you have room to box 'em they should sound even better.

if I get a pair pioneer 6x9's 440W 4-way w/no box and pair of 5x7 2-way 240W roc/fos for the front how big of an amp do I need? what the diff between 2-way 3-way.....?

dbs

4 x 50 would be enough

Colton

Anywhere from 50w-100w/channel RMS 4ohm should be fine, personally i wouldn't stick oval speakers in the front though i believe they tend to be louder but not as good of quality sound.. If you can fit 6.5" in front they're the most commonly used.
