Default buying car audio

As others have already pointed out, perhaps you're dyslexic so I'll refrain
from ribbing you over your spelling/grammar. (Whose nasty idea was it to
make dyslexic so hard to spell?!).

Anyway, have you actually looked at any car audio systems? Do you know
anything about them? If not, I'd suggest you go to a car audio dealer - if
you do it yourself you may find you'll get ripped off buying the kit then
fit it incorrectly and fry the kit, the car or both.

Basically I'd suggest to start with a fairly decent head-unit and a pair of
reasonable 6x9 speakers on the parcel shelf. If you're not going for all
out power, you won't need an amplifier for the 6x9's - you can just run
them from the head unit's on-board amp. If you are installing powerful
6x9's (anything over about 60w RMS each usually) I'd suggest an amplifier
to run them.

If you're going for a higher end system, you'll then want to look into
getting a subwoofer to provide decent bass - you'll need an amp to run that
off. Then, you could look into fitting some tweeters to improve the
quality and clarity of the high notes, and replace the front door speakers
with some decent ones.

Again, I'd suggest you have the work carried out for you by someone who
knows what they're doing, or you may end up regretting it.

Cheers
