Alright so one of my good friends from school is wanting to get a better audio system for xmas. Hes got like a 05 or so Nissan Xterra. For his budget he wants to stay around 500 bucks if possible. Anyway I know thats kinda cheap but I think we can work around that.

He's pretty set on getting subs and keeping his stock HU cus its a 6 disc changer. So my knowledge only goes so far, he listens to mostly hard rock/metal so hes not lookin for competition bass, just clean sound.

So what do you guys think would sound best? 10's? 12's? What brand? And what brand/size amp?

Thanks in advance

 

Better sub setup? Does he have the bose system or an amp under the front pass seat?

 

For 500 you could get speakers, a 4 channel amp, and some wiring.

Or, you could be like every other retard on the road and just get some cheap subs and a POS amp and have it sound like absolute crap all the way around. Lol.

Not trying to be mean, just saying it how it is. $500 will barely get you started for "clean."

 

sorry when i said better i meant anything better than stock
his car came stock with a rockford fosgate HU and speakers

i know 500 isnt much and would only maybe pass for some "okay" subs
but thats why im askin you guys...

 

If he wants true "clean" sound, tell him to do it in stages and do it right. Get a quality 4 channel amp and speakers now, and save up for the subs later.

 

ok so recommendations for door speakers??

it looks like the front doors have 6X9's and the rears have 6-3/4 but you can also fit 6-1/2 with an adapter...

also what 4 chan. amp would compliment your recommended speakers best?
