So after around 6 months now, i can admit that my subs are a little too loud and i can only hear them. I want to know what would be the better thing to do, where i can get the most for the buck. If possible, amp stock speakers? or buy a whole new set of speakers and amp them? What do you guys think?

I wish I can help buddy but hopefully Justin can chime in on this one.

You would be fine amplifying your stock speakers. they can take the 50rms watts that a normal 4channel would put out. look at an alpine to match your other amp.

50 rms, @ what ohm? im asking you cuz i dont know what kind of speakers the stock tc have. do u know by any chance?

edit: do i want 50rms x 4 or 6? arent there 4 speakers plus 2 tweeters?

4ohm. I'll help you hook it up, you know the drill lol

i know the drill but im just trying to learn. And am i fine with just a 50 x 4 amp?? i dont get how the tweaters get power + the four car speakers

I believe the factory tweeters and front speakers are 8ohms, but not positive. hooking them up on the same channel should drop them to 4 ohms. I'll test them when I install the amp and we will figure out what they are.

alright sounds good. Im assuming im going to need a whole new wirring kit for it as well, do you know of anyone or place that will have them cheap?

you wont need a whole wiring kit, just a distribution block and a few feet of 8 gauge wire. You'll also need some quick wire. Rays has it for like $1 per foot and you just run it from the radio to the amp.

does rays also have the distribution block?

Yep

okay sweet. ill have to go over there soon, any idea how many feet of wires i need? im assuming around 6 or 7?

just get 12ft of the speed wire. and 3ft of 8 gauge

alright. i have been looking @ this amp :

looks nice. im going to amp the stock speakers so thats why i plan to get that one

Makes sense

I changed my speakers and amp'ed them the stock speakers are very cheep ans they way they are wired are not condusive to clear loud audio.

Personal opinion if you added subs, and a head unit, just upgrade to componate speakers, and amp you will be thank full in the long run and prolly alittle deaf too.

Maybe, but price is an issue for me.

Edit: Does how much my head unit sends power to the speakers, affect what kind of amp i need? [speakers take 50w, headunit gives them an rms of 22w]
