I want to upgrade my sound system and I already bought a HU. I have about $500 to spend max. What should I get? Any and all opinions welcome....

$500 will get you a nice set of components and an amp. JL XR or Focal Polyglass comps with a 2 channel amp. Or you could spend it on a nice mono class D amp, MTX 6500D, and a 12" sub, Alpine Type R with enclosure. I would go for the components but that is just me.

here's a suggestion for a budget system:

Amp:
US ACOUSTICS USX4085 $125 at www.thezeb.com - good reviews for this brand...go to elitecaraudio.com for more inputs regarding this
4 X 65 watts, there is a 4 X 85 for 175

Front Speakers:
CDT AUDIO CA-50 on sale at thezeb.com $109 5.25" components
Crystal Mobilesound CPe 60s $120 at sounddomain
Focal Polyglass 165V $245 at thezeb.com

Sub:
Oz Audio Matrix 250L 10" = $130 at Sounddomain
Crystal CSe12.4 12" = $80 at sounddomain

This should be a pretty balanced budget system
