yes you can make your own but if you are new its not recommended because the box has to be properly spec'd for the subwoofer.

you can buy a subwoofer/amp/premade box online easily.

the subwoofers that come in a box usually are made specifically for that subwoofer.

if you aren't wanting to spend very much move away from jl cause they are overpriced as hell.

you're going to need

single din head unit

2 4x6 speakers for front (i suggest rockford fosgate)
2 6x9 speakers for rear deck (i suggest rockford fosgate)

for sub/amp/box it'll depend on how much is left in the budget after you get the other stuff.

JL stands for just lost, especially in your wallet. You can get better equipment for a fraction of the price.

i think im gonna just get a subwoofer with a box first. do i need an amp?
if i want more sub bass, do i need a separate speaker for that? or is it something that comes with the subwoofer? what should i look out for for the sub bass?



yeah so ive been told. kinda sucks. my initials are JL. thought id get JL Audio speakers for style points

just get the sticker that says JL >.> i've seen alot of people do that lol

you'll need an amp/subwoofer/box/wiring kit
big 3 upgrade kit(if you want a fair powered subwoofer)

your stock speakers will be EASILY drown out even by a low power sub and you need a new head unit for sure.

500 - 1 grand. preferably closer to 500

does not compute?

rofl might actually consider that.



does the head unit improve the sound or something?



ive seen some speakers go for a couple hundred on sonic.

So you're only wanting new speakers, no HU, subs, amps, eq's or anything?

most new head units are quite powerful, like 50 watts per channel sometimes higher.
so a higher power deck is going to put more overall wattage to your speakers
also decks by pioneer and kenwood have very amazing EQ's for sound quality.

and as far as speakers go, you really do get what u pay for (id suggest mb quarts for mids and highs)

eq = equalizer?
more watts = more power for the speaker to produce a better sound?
