Default WTB Amp, Sub(s), new HU, speakers.

Hey guys I've been away for a while, but now coming home I realize that I want a better sounding system in my car.

I want to get a new headunit, sub(s), speakers and amp.

Which would you guys recommend for a fairly inexpensive price?

Thanks in advance.

Bang for the buck is jvc, I was not to impressed with the older stuff but their newer stuff has been working really well for many of the installs I have done. You get good sound quality, tons of options and all about 1/2 the price of some of the upper brand names. I always have prefered alpine subs or rockfords for sound as well as their amps.

Alright so.

A friend of mine who works at an audio place told me for now just to get a Sony Xplod Head Unit.

I think I'm going to end up getting that.

Now for the speakers - what size are the speakers in the 06 LS Coupe? Front doors and back doors?

The front's are 6 1/2 the rears are 6x9.

What type of sub are you looking for?
I have a 12 inch Infinity sub rated at 350 RMS in sealed box that i'm trying to sell local on Craigs List for $85

It hits nice and hard and clear.

I'm only selling it because since I got the factory box i have no need for it.

Really looking for any type of sub that will just sound better than the stock one... trying to not have awful distortion when I blast my gangsta rap.

every sub will have distortion if you try... and alot of rap has distortion in the music itself and more often the quality of the recording most people have is sup par
