I bought this car back in august and will finally be on the road this month to start off a good new year.
Only thing it's missing is some damn good sound. I listen to metal and dubstep
All I know is that the head unit is probably a pioneer Walmart cheapy to match the scorches.
When u bought it I saw it had a gauge wire from the battery to the trunk.
Looking to spend around 250-300 for dual subwoofers/box and amp and another 100 for 4 speakers
I live out in the urban country so I have no audio store near me

Since your budget is kind of low, i'd suggest 1 good speaker instead of 2 crappy ones.

Look into MTX or Kicker. I had 2 kicker L7 12's in my old truck and they slammed. The MTX 9800 series is good also. But TBH for the budget you won't get a whole lot. A decent amp alone is 100-400 depending on what sub you decide on, then the sub is anywhere from 200-500 for a good one that will last.

go open the hood and tell me the alternators amperage output.

can't suggest sub/amp without knowing how much electricity your car produces.

I've owned both and put them through hell, not a single issue. But your input helped him a bunch.

Back on topic though. If you want to save some money OP and are a little handy, you cold make your own box.

Just about as much as yours did. Subwoofer already took care of it though so nn more input.

I took a look in the trunk of the car it still has all the hook ups for an amp and box. I believe it's a weak 8gauge wire
