New Speakers
Re: New Speakers
You should get new speakers first. Yes a sub will add a big thump but thats about it. It doesnt add mid range or high range. I suppose if you listen to rap all the time all you really need is a sub. But if you listen to real music i would go with speakers first. Is your car a coupe? If so you can add new 6-9s in the back which will add good bass as well. I personally am a huge fan of kicker. Amazing sound. Oh by the way my sister has a 98' Civic Coupe and has only upgraded her head unit and her system has amazing bass. So perhaps you should go with a new head unit first. Depends on what you are looking to do. How much money are you looking to spend?

Re: New Speakers
i listen to alot of rock and not sure what would sound good for that music and should i replace all of them or only the back, i put a new cd player in my car and watched a friend put subs in his car, is it relativly the same level of difficulty

Re: New Speakers
if you replace any speakers, do the front, not the rears. the rears overpower the fronts anyway, so if you replace the fronts with some good speakers and then turn down the rears some with the fader, it will sound better. the infinity 6012's i had in sounded good and they can usually be found on sale somewhere. i listen to rock too and it sounds 10x's better with a sub. to me, it doesn't matter what music it is, it all sounds better with a sub. i'd put a sub in first and then change the other stuff after you see what that sounds like.
